How do I NOT show an add like this ??
The Truth About Building Muscle
Massive $36/$50 Payout Per Sale. #1 Muscle Building Program On CB & Easily Best Money Making Opp In Fitness Category. Killer Affiliate Tools & Giving Away Premade Affiliate Websites:
Does not look good on my site to show that.
Is it possible otherwise I can not use the script as it keeps giving affiliate information on my main sales page which is not good.
Please advise asap.
sincerely,
Lewis

A lot of clickbank products are advertised with similar text, that's just how the seller of the products is marketing it. Since you are showing the description as stored in a local database, you could just change the text in the corresponding database record. I think you would have to do this each time you run the update process that gets the new data from clickbank though...

Is curl enabled in your host? If it is, then the script will use the title and description from the site of the vendor instead of this.

Hi,
yes curl is enabled as far as I know as I have a few cron events that start with curl command etc ...
Ok how about this instead.
Instead of running update via cron every night can I just once a month download the new feed delete all but fitness category and then edit the content in the fitness category removing text I dont want to see and then re-upload it to context directory ?
If this will work I can live with that :)
best

ok skip that lol :)
Editing the feed is too much work.
How do I set the script to use the site title and description or to test that the curl version is working ?

In anyway there is no need to run the update script every day. Once per month is fine (actually I do that once per 2 months)
To see if you have curl enabled execute this:
<?php
if (extension_loaded('curl'))
echo 'CURL is loaded';
else
echo 'CURL does not exists';
?>

After uploading your test_curl.php
I get
CURL is loaded
Yet the system is displaying cb listing test instead of page meta .
What can we do ?
As it is I can;t use it casue looking at the fitness category there are over 1000 entries.
thanks Nikolas
p.s. impressed with your support

This is happening only when the vendor has no meta information on their site.
I am afraid we can not do anything about that.
I am glad you like the support :)

Nikolas,
not sure why you say that or if in fact my version is working to pull meta tags . Because one of the ads was for a website burnthefat and although it is pulling up the clickbank affiliate sales details when I went to the website it's meta tags at
www.burnthefat.com 
are correct ?????

Sure you are saying my version will pull meta data from sites that have it but it is not .
Like I said above the
www.burnthefat.com 
has metatags yet contextual is pulling the one from the xml file.
