Thread: need help with xml product feed

Hi

I am working on a coupon site and would love it if you could help me understand how to manage the following product feeds.

I have a url for each category that gives me this type of result:

Code:

<couponfeed><TotalMatches>22</TotalMatches>
<TotalPages>1</TotalPages>
<PageNumberRequested>1</PageNumberRequested>
<link type="TEXT">
<categories><category id="4">Apparel - Woman’s</category></categories>
<promotiontypes><promotiontype id="7">Free Shipping</promotiontype></promotiontypes><offerdescription>Make A Splash with Figure-Flattering Swimwear From BareNecessities.com. Shop Now and Enjoy Free Shipping and Free Exchanges!</offerdescription><offerstartdate>2011-04-29</offerstartdate>
<offerenddate>2012-04-30</offerenddate>
<clickurl>(removed)click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=6fXURSiB3iA&offerid=222311.10002426&type=3&subid=0</clickurl>
<impressionpixel>(removed)ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=6fXURSiB3iA&bids=222311.10002426&type=3&subid=0</impressionpixel>
<advertiserid>1623</advertiserid>
<advertisername>Bare Necessities</advertisername>
<network id="1">US Network</network>
</link>

When I launch the url in a browser just to see the xml result I get the code above and:
"This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below."

How do I format this code into text on my wordpress site?
Is there a specific plugin I can use?
I think the data is correct I just need a way to make it look the way I want.

Sorry if this is a total newbie question.
Any help with this would be highly appreciated.

You would have to pass that through a parser for it to be useful on your site. My advice would be to download the csv file the LS network provides - it's easier to work with, there are themes, plugins and scripts available. I use a theme and plugin at my coupon sites.

Thank you for your reply. Once I have the csv what plugins / scripts do you recommend using?
