New Scrape on the Fly Feature
In the Scrape Settings there is an option to pull scrape results from the database
or from the web. If you choose to get scrape results from the web, scrape results
will be pulled in as you spin projects. In the Professional level you can also
choose to save the scraped results in your MySQL database or not. If you do
not plan to spin a project that pulls data from your local MySQL database you
should select the option to not save the scraped data. This will help keep your
database small.
Relational Database
The new relational database feature allows you to use an Excel
Spread Sheet or .csv file to load related data into ArticleBot. The best way
to explain this is by a simple example. Below is a seed document and the Excel
Spread sheet that provides the data for the spin.
<head>
<title> $$DB-Restaurant Restaurant in $$DB-City </title>
</head>
<body>
The $$DB-Restaurant Restaurant in $$DB-City is owned by $$DB-Owner.
<br><br>
Our quote is $$DB-Quote.
<br><br>
<Scraped-Content-All>
</body>
$$DB.csv Data File Rules
If you used Excel to create this file, you must save it in a .csv (comma
separated value) file format and it must have the name $$DB.csv.
The data file must be named $$DB.csv and be stored in the c:\program
files\articlebot\projects\my-project-name\ folder.
There must be a header line with the heading for each column matching
the respective terms in your seed document.
The $$DB- terms are case sensitive so be sure your spread sheet column
heading and term match exactly.
You can not have commas in your data. If you do want to have commas in
the data file, replace them with the ArticleBot comma replacement tag
<comma>. You can easily do this with a mass replace function.
There is a 200 column limit on the width of the .csv file.
There is a 100,000 line limit on the length of the .csv file although
Excel will limit you to about 64,000 lines. |
Note that the Terms to be spun begin with $$DB-. These terms are automatically
picked up during the spin and there is no need to highlight them as in other
terms. The data for each page to be spun comes from a simple spread sheet pictured
in the example above. This spread sheet must obey the following rules:
The example above will create three web pages. One for each line in the data
file.
The key words to be used for the scrape are the $$DB- terms used in your <title>
tag. Because of this, there is a limit of three $$DB- terms in the title.
You can not use $$DB- and $$Oride terms in the same document. You must choose
to work with one or the other.
To start in the middle of a long spin, you can load the spin array with the
first number being the record number you want to start with. For example to
start the spin on record number 456 enter the spin array numbers 456,1,1.
