[Plugin: CJ-Datafeed] Far too Complex

You sure need basic HTML coding skill to understand the template system. Assuming you already know HTML, I think I made it pretty simple. I created a 5min tutorial here : CJ-Datafeed Video Tutorial I’m sure it will help.

Thanks

That datafeed video isnt good at all

What we need to know is how to prepare the CJ file before upload

1. What format should the datafeed be downloaded from cj in? tab, pipe, xml, quoted csv, standard csv?

2. Next, once downloaded it, you say to remove the first row, but when we go to open it in excel there are even more options to select

first page says – open as delemited or fixed width?
next page – what format tab, semicolon, comma, space, other?
Next page – column data format – general, text, date, dont import column

3. After opened and row 1 is removed, then what do you do? just hit save? save as? if so what should save as? text(tabdelimited), or the other ones?

Seriously!!! without showing people how to do this… how the hell do you expect them to figure out the rest? the rest is useless without knowing this part?

Come on man, help us out here

You’re right eddyj … I’m a technical guy, forget that not everyone is.

Use PIPE “|”. I write a note about it in the upload page

2. Next, once downloaded it, you say to remove the first row, but when we go to open it in excel there are even more options to select

Excel, Word or WordPad will corrupt your file. Remember is a .txt file. I recommend UltraEdit, Notepad or any TEXT editor.

First row is a description of each columns, we don’t need that. Just delete the first row. This way, CJ-Datafeed plugin process only valid affiliate data. I will work on something to automate this… ( check row if valid data, if not, skip it )

3. After opened and row 1 is removed, then what do you do? just hit save? save as? if so what should save as? text(tabdelimited), or the other ones?

Save as .txt file with notepad or other text file editor
