CHITIKA EMINIMALLS PLUGIN FOR WORDPRESS INSTALLING THE PLUGIN Unzip the "eminimall" directory in this zip file, and put it in your wp-content/plugins/ directory. Your directory tree should look like: - wp-content - plugins/ - akismet - eminimall - README.txt - eminimall.gif - eminimall.php - mce-dialog.php - hello.php Once you've done that, login to your Wordpress Plugin Management page and activate the "Chitika eMiniMall" plugin. Note: If you are upgrading your eMiniMall plugin, the plugin default options would be reloaded so you'll have to customize your default options again. Also when you upgrade, you cannot downgrade without deleting all the database's default options. Now, you'll need to set some default options for your eMiniMalls. Go to Options -> eMiniMall in your Wordpress Admin, and set the options there. ADDING AN EMINIMALL When you're writing a post, you can insert an eMiniMall into your post simply by clicking the eMiniMall button on the edit toolbar (at the end of the row, after the Help button). This will popup a window where you set the eMiniMall's options. You can either leave everything to the defaults (which you set on the Options page), or uncheck the Default button and set an option specifically for that eMiniMall. Click Insert, and the eMiniMall will be insert. It'll show up as a line of code which looks like "[eminimall ... ]". You should leave that in your post, and you can move that line to wherever you want the eMiniMall to appear in your post. ADDING AN EMINIMALL (Wordpress 1.5 / 2.0 Non-Rich editor) If you're using Wordpress 1.5, or Wordpress 2.0 with the "visual rich editor" disabled, you won't see the eMiniMall icon. You'll instead see a button with the text "eMiniMall" on the edit toolbar. Click this, and the code "[eminimall]" will be inserted into your post. If you want to change the settings for this eminimall, you can do so by editing that piece of code. For example, to change the products of the eMiniMall to DVDs and Video, you'd change that line to: [eminimall products="dvd, video"] Or, if you want the background color to be green, and the width and height of the eMiniMall to be of the "Banner" size (468x60), you'd say: [eminimall background="green" width="468" height="60"] The complete list of options that you can specify are given below: [eminimall channel="channel_name" background="color" border="color" titlecolor="color" textcolor="color" width="width" height="height" client="your-client-id" products="list of products seperated by commas"]
