TemplateMonster Script

Looking for a decent script that will import data using TemplateMonster.com data using their API system.

I found three on this webpage. 1 of which I am not paying 300 for, the other two don't seem to work.

Anybody offer some help?

so you're new to TM affiliation? how about your PHP skills? do you have an TM account?

btw. thanks to tell me that I need to update my demo here:
http://www.finalwebsites.com/demos/retrieve_and_show_templatemonster_data.php

you need to use this script:

tell if you're ready and I will show you where to add the aff. key to access the TM api (the aff. key is there since a short while and I was to busy to update the script)

Thanks for your reply! I was using your 1.0 scipt with no success - it was telling me that the images were unauthorizsed.... I will play with the 1.07 to see what I can get done.

I am proficient in PHP but never messed with API - so it is a new experience.

So the new 1.07 script - looks like it just sets up the databases....

How do I display them?

as the name says: "Import TemplateMonster data"

Look you need to build you ow site to show the thumbnails, the category list and data from the screen shots table. The reason that I wrote this is to store all data on a local machine for faster access. The TM server has sometimes "issues", on the other site I have a custom ready-made shop on the dutch part of finalwebsites.com and this shop converts fine too.

Okay - so the script just stores the data.

Right, it's not a complete site script. Check the example file on how-to show some template data.

I don't relly have time to build an API system to display. Email me with how much you would charge to do this.

I don't think that this will work... a custom shop will take a lot of work and I'm so busy that I don't find the time to convert a free design (I got from TM) into my own shop :(

Why not using the ready made shop? I make most of my template sales here.
I think creating some template or design related source is much better than a standalone shop. As you can see it's possible to customize the ready made shop to fit your own website design

Hi Olaf -

Can you share with me, where to insert the aff. key??

Many thanks.

read the whole thread :)

btw. the current CSV API is useless, updated my site with the XML version and hope to relase some example code within the next days.

Could not see anything obvious in the thread, but looking forward to the new post!

I just wanna tell that there is more to do than "adding the affiliate code" (you need to build a website on your own).
The script has functions to import the data and some example code on how-to show the data ;)

Yes - I know that :-)

I don't know how to pull data from the TM site to then update my db, which it looks like what your code is doing. that's all i require. I will build the site from there!

Thanks

Hi seanw,

just released the new TM API script:
http://www.finalwebsites.com/scripts/import-templates.php

Please start a new script if you have questions

Was just playing around with this, pretty nice, appreciate all the work that went into this.

I do have a question however, I was looking at the thumb box function and it appears to look for the thumbnail image on my server (/img/small/26100/26189-m.jpg).

Am I supposed to download every image somehow to my server or am I missing something here???

Ha! Nevermind, I see that I missed a step.

Transfer the screenshots from template monster to your server using the script "ImportScreenshots.php".
