Just released in the last couple of days is a neat tool to import any csv (comma) delimited affiliate feed and present each item as an individual post.
You can see an example here on My Santa’s Christmas Gift Ideas blog.
The tool is not a plug-in in the strictest sense as it is a standalone script that does not appear through the admin plugins section.
You place the script in your wp-admin folder and execute it with a direct URL reference in the browser … it does not have any protection by default, but you should be able to protect the folder via .htaccess. In fact, you may even be able to rename its folder to something much more secret and prevent malicious upload. I don’t see the lack of security as a big issue.
Presently, the script will take the following items in csv format and create a posting from them :
- Product Name
- Description
- Category
- Image URL
- Affiliate Deeplink URL
and will publish a post for each item; each post being published immediately.
There are some opportunities to tweak the code (e.g. to save as draft for you to schedule publish date & times manually) – it uses the standard wp_insert_post() function to create the post.
Where can you get the script from?
