Web Grabber WordPress Plugin

Hi Thanks for the update – It’s Very hard to find the support link on CodeCanyon and your site’s contact form is not working…

So I’ll post it here as a comment….

It’s great to see an update for the Web Grabber Wordpress Plugin

The proxy use may answer one concern that I had and that is whether the scraping of the plugin would show as a visit from my website in the scraped sites analytics?

For Example: Google Analytics shows me the most popular websites that are sending me traffic. I was concerned that the site I am scraping would see lots of traffic from mydomain.com and see I was manipulating their information.

PS. There is no link at CodeCanyon to your Changelog page.

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Is it possible to grab real estate listings from a site like www.jaap.nl to import this to custom post types? Thanks.

Is there a way to be more specific or call the content differently and therefore cut down on the load times?

[webgrab url=’http://www.thelockup.com/Self-Storage-Northfield-Illinois' tag=’div id=”special”}’]

Is there a way to remove links? After pulling in the information from the other site, the link urls have changed, so when the link is selected it goes to a 404 page because we are not pulling in the individual pages for each link. I’d rather the link stay the same as in the original information with perhaps target=”_blank” entered to open in a new tab

url of page: http://www.spmmemphis.com/free-tips-tools/trusted-partners/

So, I guess that makes three questions.

1. Is it possible to leave the link urls as original?
2. If not, is it possible to remove the links but not the information?
3. If possible to leave the link as original, is there a way to make it open in a new window?

Thanks so much for a great plugin and the help.

hi i was grabing a site i do it yesterday it worked fine but today it brings the same results as yesterday . I checked the other site the text has changed why is doing that?

hi i solved it was the cache but how i can clear the cache automatic?

Hi,

Its php based and hooked into a database.

Thanks, Matt

You really make it seem so easy with your demonstration but I find this matter to be really something that I think I would not able understand.

If you can provide a fully functional sample that I can open and edit on my site, or just just tell me how to remove unwanted items like WiseLoop Bunners from the page as I market on screenshot? http://c.alex-v.com/OxPN

Let say I want to grub Web Grabber WordPress Plugin description from CodeCanyon’s

div.item-description

[webgrab .... tag='{div class="item-description"}]

and the plugin did the job just fine, but the problem is there is information about your other products that I didn’t buy yet:( so I want to remove it or, better yet, not to grub it.

Those unwanted items i marked on the screenshots in red color. Can you tell me the right shortcode to remove or replace items without unique teg? In dom they marked:

div.item-description
            div.user-html
                p
                   <strong a="" img="" don="" want="" it="" ......="">

Here is html code:

<pre>
<p><p><strong>Other WiseLoop top software products:</strong></p></p>
<p><a href="http://codecanyon.net/item/php-web-grabber/236546"></p>
<p><img src="http://wiseloop.com/media/button-link-wlwg.png"></a></p>
</pre>
 </strong>

how can i grab something like this?

Hi, I was looking at your example, especially example 2, the one with the remove tag, how come you tell it to remove the options div, but down in the example, the div with it’s content is still there ?

I cant manage to get this to work for what I was hoping it would. Is there a way I can email you for assistance?
