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

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:

Code: [Select]

https://www.zoonar.com/favicon.ico
Primary Button:

Code: [Select]

(\d+|\d+\,\d+) €</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.
