1. Advertisers who are not listed in ID's , who has not relation with me

Jimm -

Have you set your advertiser_ids on the CJ Product Search settings page inside of Wordpress on your site? You should set it to joined or put in a comma separated list of advertiser IDs for only people that you have a relationship with in CJ.

- LC

yes done it, when set up the options. That is the question =(( I see this bug work for some product and for some not... i dont know why happening like this

You should set it to joined or put in a comma separated list of advertiser IDs for only people that you have a relationship with in CJ.
shure only ID's with Advertisers which have relationship with me in CJ

i have no relationship with BOOK store or somthing

Ok - I can reproduce that on our live website as well.

I'll log a ticket & we'll push out a new release soon.

Actually - I take that back. I can't get a non-approved/non-joined products to appear. Turns out we ARE an affiliate of ShoppersChoice.com for some reason. :/

Can you try adding advertiser_ids="joined" to your shortcode?

Or try putting "joined" (without quotes) in your settings page?

Let me know what happens. We're still trying to reproduce the problem here.

We tried several combination and cannot reproduce the problem.

Have you shut off caching? Try that to ensure that any prior searches are flushed from the cache. This can be an issue if you have changed your CJ settings via the Commission Junction website since you started using the plugin.

Once the page cache is flushed, should only take one page refresh with it off, you can turn it back on.

3. Commision Junction Web ID * , i'm new in CJ and for me is not easy to understand that is ID is the same as PID and where i can find it..

Hopefully our more detailed setup guide helps explain some of that. We'll add to that in the coming days to have more pics & details on the Commission Junction side of things.

+ Advertiser IDs - i spent 1 hour =) to find how to find this ID.. a bit crazy (i know its just because i'm new in CJ). I took 3 Id , like: 11111,2222,3333 So the question is, how script choose who who's product will be shown? 1111,2222, or 3333 ? may be 1111 got the best % of comission and i'm interested in show them often, but 222 and 333 got more product and lower commission.

Yes, finding those IDs on cj.com is a pain. I like to click on the advertiser name in my "by relation" listing and just grab the end of the URL, those last numbers after advertiser_id= in the end of the URL is the advertiser ID.

Using the Advertiser IDs setting on the settings page effects your entire site. This is the DEFAULT setting site-wide. In general it is best to keep this set to "joined". After all you probably don't want to list stuff from non-joined programs (you don't earn commission on those) so the "nonjoined" and blank settings are probably not good (CJ supports that in the programming interface, so we do too).

There is no way to give each ID # a weight. It is simply a site-wide filter. "Only show products from the advertisers I put in this list whenever I don't specify the advertiser in a short code". The idea is a simple way to build a website around a specific advertiser or group of advertisers when your main CJ.com account may be setup for many other sites you are not using Wordpress and/or our plugin for.

My recommendation - leave this set to "joined". If you want to specify an advertiser ID, then do it using the advertiser_id="111111" qualifier on your shortcode.

+ Keywords - why we need them? if we put to each post uniq key?? (hard to understand how its work). And i'm thinking about how to make that it will be placed automatically to each post this : [cj_show_items keywords="flower" records_per_page="15"] and KEY will be taken by TAG.. useful?

This is probably the most important part of the shortcode. I never set this on the settings page because it is a site-wide filter. Maybe if I had a site all about Android phones I'd set this to "droid" but anytime I put a keyword in a shortcode it would overwrite it.

Put [cj_show_items keywords="+big +brown +bear"] in a shortcode on your web pages and wherever that shortcode "lives" on your pages/posts you will see a series of product boxes showing all of the big brown bears your affiliates have to offer (probably not many).

Remember you can have multiple short codes & thus multiple product listings on a single page or post.

+ Serviceable Area serviceable_area

This is noted by Commission Junction when you sign up for your account. This is typically your country code or the country code of your target audience (US = USA). You will need to be approved by vendors that are listed in that market. CJ.com has a list of these codes on their site... somewhere (if I knew I'd post the link).

ISBN isbn (where to find it in CJ?) , UPC upc (where to find it in CJ?), Manufacturer's Name, Manufacturer's SKU (where to find it in CJ?), Advertiser SKU advertiser_sku (where to find it in CJ?)...

This is another way to list products, but much more specifically. Many of your advertising partners will have a catalog of products where EACH ITEM has a SKU (or ISBN, etc.). If you want to display a specific product on your page or post you're better off finding the SKU or UPC code for the product and using that in place of keywords.

[cj_show_items keywords="iphone"] will show a lot of stuff other than the Apple iPhone, like cases, covers and other accessories because the word "iphone" appears in the title of so many objects like "iPhone headset" or "iPhone 3GS".

Instead, if you know your vendors sku number, or better yet you know the exact UPC code of an iPhone 3GS then you can use that instead:

[cj_show_items upc="1919191918181"]

Where do you find the sku, ISBN, etc.? Look in the product feed from your vendors. You can use the search feature on cj.com and see what comes up on the results. Remember, not all vendors provide these types of details. Some just have a price, picture, and title (booo!).

+ Items Per Page records_per_page , why we need it? if we use "... records_per_page="15"] in the concrete post/page

Again, this is a site-wide default. You can over-ride this in a short code. I like to set this to something like "10" site-wide and they only specify records_per_page="99" on pages where I want to show 99 items instead of 10 for some reason.

+ Sort By sort_by - Price (btw what is salePrice?) + Sort Order sort_order descending - Does not work for me.. i Want most expensive product then lower price then lower and lower etc... Did not find how to do this..

There is an example on the wiki now (has been there a few days). Also many of these codes are noted on the bottom of the pages at http://www.dutchbulb.com/

Here is an example to show only tulips from a specific vendor, listed by highest price first:
[cj_show_items keywords="tulip " records_per_page="3" advertiser_ids="513872" sort_by="price" sort_order="desc"]

But after all this plug-in is BEST OFFER ON MARKET!!

Thanks!

We're trying hard to ensure it is a great value, especially in a market where everyone expects things to be FREE. We like free as well, but we can't afford to give support with FREE. We thought people might not mind paying a few dollars to at least have people respond to their posts! Seems more than a few people out there agree with that philosophy! :)

You now, but today! i cant reproduce too!!! =)) probably it is BUG in cache system? when i setup the settings i try to switch on cache but i'm lazy to go and to create folder in my ftp =) so i switched off cache

at the moment main settings are :

i change nothing

Here is an example to show only tulips from a specific vendor, listed by highest price first:
[cj_show_items keywords="tulip " records_per_page="3" advertiser_ids="513872" sort_by="price" sort_order="desc"]

its ok . its work.. But i want this setting to setup to all post in the site.. and i did it : but still does not work
