First up you should use the updated spinner, not this one. Direct usage of the spinner is very simple and explained here / there, but I’m going to assume that you need help with the generation of the SEO pages on which to use your spun text via the spinner in your CMS… This is far less simple and requires you to understand PHP or Apache to a reasonable level for the page generation and then PHP / MySQL to dynamically retrieve the content. I must make it clear that I am not a freelancer and do not do this kind of work, so your best bet would be freelancers.net, forums or better a digital agency for this.

Looking at your current site it is already constructed in Joomla (a CMS system) and runs an e-commerce plugin called VirtueMart for shop management. I don’t know anything about either, but I can observe that the combo uses an Apache rewrite rule (everything is sent to index.php) with a $_GET variable structure (?page=shop.browse&category_id=XY) to allow the CMS to look up the pages in a database (likely MySQL). Anything you add on would either require a new re-write rule (in your .htaccess file) and a totally new PHP page (easy for any developer, though your style etc would have to be duplicated and maintained separately) or a new bespoke Joomla extension to implement your requirements (recommended, but more expensive).

For this reason I suggest looking for a Joomla ‘expert’ to carry out the work, perhaps beginning on Joomla specific forums.

I would also raise that you have also already added unique text about all of your products (which are not very similar) so you really have to determine what benefit an extra set of spun pages (which require totally generic text) would bring you…

Good luck!

Hi Trevor,

I strongly suggest you use the updated version of this post in any projects. If you get anything going with a thesaurus etc I would be very interested to see it and will provide you links / an article for anything you do if you wish to share / promote it. This is something I have meant to do myself and have my own basic WYSIWYG editor (based on a content editable div rather than iframe) that I would like to plug it into ultimately – it’s just a dev time problem! My suggestions would be to think very carefully about the database structure of, and required AJAX calls to, a thesaurus as they are not trivial. Good luck!

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Paul, I hope that this comment finds you in good health, I stumbled on this through my search for a php article spinner for my site and realized that it is extremely difficult to find a free one. To get to the point I would like to develop your functions to suit my site. I am working on it right away as i desperately need this so a very big thank you. I am offering my development to this post as a thanks man. I am going to include some basic database storage and administration such as a thesaurus with preferences.If anyone has any suggestions or would like the source just visit my site or mail me.

@peter You could read the first paragraph and see the updated code (not the rushed nested spinner in this article), OR you could choose to share your own elegant solution…

Sadly you have opted for neither and simply decided to waste both our of time to be rude and unhelpful. Yet another useful Internet contributer, I’m so very glad you exist!

If you view the updated spinner I've extended it to allow this kind of behaviour. All you need to do is pass in your seed value (e.g. 'every 28 hours') with the spin function (used to be only true or false) and the text will update only after the specified period. Enjoy!

Oops, sorry, you seemed to answer that question with the cache. Could you be so kind to point to a page that explains how to do this kind of cache? The site im looking to do this on is simple php files with no database or anything. Im simply a newb with raw php because i typically use wordpress wordpress and joomla that seem to have plugins for most functionalities.
