Ted S.,

I think that PRF is a really nice piece of work and would like to use it in a site I am working on but do not have the skill to install and modify it properly myself. That being the case, I was wondering whether if I could hire you to do so? Sorry to go public but I wanted to make sure I reach you and the private message I sent has not been read yet. Thank you for your consideration.

Well, you sent it yesterday... a little patience goes a lot longer than sending 3 messages.

That said, I do not not offer paid services of any sort -- everyone gets the same level of response for my mods. You can find many talented individuals in the vB.org market forums to hire out.

Sorry to bother you.

Don't laugh.
Everything is running fine. 10.000 products imported. Best mod ever ... but i have a "small" problem with xml import

<description>ddddddddddddd</description>

change to:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2014/05/76.png

so every "d" changes to "dj" doesn't matter what i try. XML file is UTF8.
Any idea?

Hrm.

Does it happen on other strings with usual words (i.e. not just a sequence of letters) as well?

Mind posting a few bits of the XML file up for me to try out?

And I never laugh (unless it's at myself, lol).

I changed encoding="UTF-8" to encoding="ISO-8859-1" ... but no changes. Convert the XML file with notepad++ to all variants ... no chance.

If i enter <description>DDDDDDDD</description> in big caracters it works.

The XML importer uses some basic vBulletin libraries to clean up content and insure there's nothing bad in your file. Nothing else happens to the data so that's the only possible problem I can think of at a glance.

You can try disabling this by commenting out or removing line 1651 of admincp/productforums.php

If this solves things, I'll write a custom cleaner for the mod. If not I'll PM you to get the full XML file and debug it.

I did. Now it works fine

Cool.

I'll get a patch out to do some filtering over the weekend so there's nothing malicious imported by accident.

I had this mod installed but it turned out not to work in the way I needed without beaucoup extra work that was not in my budget. That said I had it uninstalled and now the default thread rating system is not working. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions as to how to attack it? Thank you very much.
