Working perfectly in the respect Ted, all Products on xml's show as Existing product... updating

It means the script wasn't able to make a thread in the review forum. Have you set a forum to go along with enabling this option? Does that forum allow posts?

Hey Ted,

by your not responding do I infer that it is safe to go ahead with the admincp/productforums.php file you provided me, what about the extra 'd' after all of the letter 'j'?

MS office does some nasty things with special characters, we'll have to work on the filtering a bit more using the version we posted for you. No reason to use it now unless you have other updates to make through XML importing.

Nothing new to import, just keen to remove that bizarre formatting from the product descriptions, looks bad is all. ;)

Hiya Ted,

please do not continue with the weird character problem, I have just discovered the problem has absolutely nothing to do with your mod at all, the problem is coming from the source data itself, the weird characters are in the data entered into the xml's when I wrote them. I took the text from the website the products are sold on and they are right there in the text on that site.

So sorry for wasting your time with this, I will notify the site owner and let him know of the problem, thank you for your continued excellent first rate support Ted.

Good to hear but I'm glad we were also able to track down your XML matching so you can get those updates in a little easier...

About to dive in on configuring this, but I had a stupid question:

You can use this with pre-existing threads, right?

Kind of a big deal for us, given that we're GARS refugees.

Products have a whole extended set of data that is displayed back so you'd have to create that manually or import it off of other products. Basically yes, but not without some work.

Thanks for the quick answer. Not being a developer, is there a guide to importing old GARS info, or even just old threads?

I have years worth of GARS reviews.
