"Good 'til Cancelled" feature for Ebay Turbolister download

Postby john powell » Wed Aug 21, 2013 9:01 am

Ebay offers a "good 'till cancelled" duration for auctions, but this option is not an available choice through the Shopsite turbolister product download configuration screen. Are there plans to integrate this functionality?

I don't know about any future enhancements to the Ebay Turbolister download functionality, but you can work around this issue if you have access to your stores data directory.
The settings for the Turbolister download are found in a file turbolister.aa file in the store's data directory. In that file is a line "duration: 10" where the 10 could be another number depending on what option you selected on the ShopSite Turbolister download config screen.
Edit the file turbolister.aa (make a backup copy first) and change the number to the text that turbolister uses for the "good 'till cancelled" value. For example I made it
Code: Select all
duration: "good 'till cancelled"
There must be a single space after the : before the text. The value of the duration: field will be placed in the download file.
Note: since the config screen only has numbers in the pulldown, if you go to the config screen and save changes after editing the turbolister.aa file your edit will be overwritten. You must edit the file with a pure text editor such as notepad or vi not a wordprocessor since the file is in a unix format not a dos/windows format. If you happen to mess up the file you can restore it from your backup or you can delete the file and reconfigure the settings from the backoffice and the file will be recreated.
