How does he do that?

[vichousefc]

Hi All,

I really like the website Men's Fashion Tips and Men's Style Guide : FashionBeans.com which is built on wordpress, I was just wondering how he makes these pages and pulls through the datafeeds? - like on this page? 1971 Reiss Clothing at Fashionbeans.com

Anyone shed any light?

Thanks

I know there are a few feed to WordPress post tools, and I've listed them at the bottom of:

Affiliate Marketing Shopping Development Tools

Let me know if you find out anything more.

Hi,

Thanks, but I understand how to convert feeds to posts, but I do not know how he pulls the data to display all posts on one page?

You can do something similar with datafeedr. I can't work out if that it what he is using or it is a custom plugin.

Yeah I have thought about datafeedr just checking it out now, not convinced on how safe it is to use, what kind of footprint it leaves in Google etc

I don't think there are any specific url patterns google can pick up on as you can rename all categories and shop names, as well as all datafeedr files aw well.

I have seen that thread too, still doesnt help...I understand how to convert feeds, just not how to display them as above.

Create a plugin that queries your imported datafeed and displays the quantity of results you want, in the format you want them. Add a few extras for paging and filtering (ie. display search reuslts, category etc.) and you're there.

A plugin is a good way to do this as then you can sit it on any WP page and be theme agnostic.

I was also looking for something to do this also and found a bit of code on a forum somewhere - I haven't had a chance to try it yet, so if you give it a go and it works please let me know.

You might want to change this to suit your website/application:


<div class="new-wrapper">
<h2><a href="the permalink stuff do not copy this"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
//etc etc etc - whatever you need inside the loop
</div> <!-- closing div of new-wrapper -->

[[[eg:]]]

<div class="new-wrapper">
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<p>By <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?>, <?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></p>
<p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
<?php comments_popup_link('Post a comment', 'One comment', '% comments', '', 'Comments off'); ?>
</div> <!-- closing div of new-wrapper -->


Then your theme's style.css, you add the following declaration:

.new-wrapper { float: left; width: 200px; height: 200px; margin: 0px 20px 20px 0px; } ((change width, height, margin values as you like))
