  Stopping certain sites in Mirago?

Does anyone know if it's possible to stop certain sites being displayed in mirago results?
Thought I'd pop the question in here as I've given Stuart enough questions the last couple of days

Cheers

It would be possible from your side (if URL equals unwanted site then do not display), but you would then have 9 results to show instead of 10. I guess you could request extra results, but only show the top 10. - and then add code to figure out if there are more pages of results to display.

How many sites did you want to not show? Were they featured results or web results?

If you can give some details I might be able to knock something up for you. I was thinking of rewritting some of the client script anyway as there is some 'interesting' code in it

At the moment Mirago are set default to display 3 sponsored listings no matter what. I've just had Stuart change it for me so that I can display 1 sponsored listing and 2 web results as I didn't want many just to feature below a page of other stuff.
I've been through a number of pages and there are perhaps 2 sites I don't want to be displayed in the results.

I wouldn't ask you to do it though Rish, you've done enough, I just wanted to know if there was an easy way of it or not

Cheers

Well, you've repaid the favour...

Assuming your code is based on the standard php code, you will have something like: -
PHP Code:
for ($i 1$i <= $resultset["NUMRESULTS"]; $i++) {
  
$title array_shift($Atitle);
  
$abstract array_shift($Aabstract);
  
$redir array_shift($Aredir);
  
$url array_shift($Aurl);
  
displayResult($i$title$abstract$redir$url);

Change this to: -
PHP Code:
$shown=0;
for (
$i 1$i <= $resultset["NUMRESULTS"]; $i++) {
  
$title array_shift($Atitle);
  
$abstract array_shift($Aabstract);
  
$redir array_shift($Aredir);
  
$url array_shift($Aurl);
  if ( (
$shown<3) && (strpos($url,'badsite1.com')===false) && (strpos($url,'badsite2.co.uk')===false) ) {
      
displayResult($shown+1$title$abstract$redir$url);
      
$shown++;
  }

That will ensure it skips any results that have badsite1.com or badsite2.com anywhere in their Url. To help ensure you get 3 results to show, you really need to request more, say 5. Some where in your script you should have $nres = 3 or nres=3 in a url, change that to 5 and you should be sorted.

Hi

Me again, we can stop individual advertisers appearing in the results as we offer source exclusion, it fairly quick and painless.
If you can supply your associate code and the advertisers you wish to exclude and then drop an email in, we can sort this out for you.
