Title: picNiche Pollers
Post by: Phillip Minnis on May 25, 2010, 08:03

I notice that there is not a picNiche poller available for ScandinavianStockPhoto or Zoonar.

I have no idea how to get a poller up and running for those two sites.  Does anybody know how to get a poller up and running for these two sites?

You have to get the info of your home page there !  It's called Screen Scraping !!  lol

Then enter the info into a blank poller.  Not advised for the total programming novice !!  ;)

Yep, that's me......a total programming novice!!! :)

That's why I started this thread.....to see if anybody else could get pollers up and running for these two sites. :)

Had 1 sale at SSP and not at Zoonar !  so not worth my while !!  sorry :)

Plus if they change the page layout, u have to redo the poller !!  which is why u need to do it yourself !

Give it a go !  what u got to lose !?  ;)

I would if I knew what to put in the boxes! :)  I gave it a try yesterday, however, after I clicked on 'OK' button, it didn't appear in the list.  Consequently, I don't know how to get a poller up and running. :)

I played with the custom poller for Zoonar and was able to get it to work. I shared it in Picniche, but it might take a while to get approved. In the meantime, this is what I put in the boxes:

Title: Zoonar
Short Title: ZN
Page to parse URL:

Code: [Select]

https://www.zoonar.com/appgen/?cl=zoonar&cp=user&cmd=show_profile
Icon URL:

Primary Button:

Code: [Select]

(\d+|\d+\,\d+) &euro;</div>
I didn't like the fact that it displays comma instead of point, but my regular expression abilities are not at the level where I can replace it in a short time. :) If somebody has an idea, please share it.
