    Really odd that my paypal autocomplete wouldn't work on his site tho.

    Did you do know there are a couple of free CSV to WP plugins that do exactly the same as this one?

    the vital & most important part of the digitalquil plugin is the cron function (daily/weekly etc) which unfortunatly does not work. Thats why I was originaly happy to pay £25 for it..

    The blitzkrieg is just a re-branded free plugin as far as I can tell:!:

    regarding paypal - I tried and got refused
    here is what PP said to me
    Hopefully this will help some of you get a refund, be carefull when choosing the reason. Paypal sucks

    Always pay on your credit card via paypal, then just tell your credit card company if paypal refuse and they will do a chargeback.

    That's what I do with paypal and the reason I don't sell via paypal. :D

    same here mat. looks like he has done a runner as ive heard nothing back from email or pm. i thnk ill be having a chat with admin to ban him from the site as it is not in the interests of members to be ripped off.

    Rofl this http://www.affiliateblitzkrieg.com/affiliate-blitzkrieg-movie script just seems to have ripped my csv plugin, only thing is it looks like the gui thats been spruced up a bit. This is like the 2nd script which has ripped from mine, shame, my v3 will be 100x better and FREE

    Keep posted for an exposure blog post, this guy *David Shuttleworth, has blatantly ripped csv plugin, but changed the GUI, his plugin does exactly the same, but hes chargin for it.

    http://www.matboo.co.uk/2009/05/17/csv-to-wordpress-post-v2-plugin/

    This is Mattys.

    I couldn't get his to work, but then affiliate blitzkeig's category thing doesn't work for me, and the templating is very restrictive.

    Its forced me to write my own.

    I am going to steal Matty's idea for using imports rather than a plug in tho, I like that way of doing it without all those nasty hooks ;), it was the hooks and stuff that was causing me a headache.

    If someone has actually purchased the csv plugin for AffiliateBlitzkrieg.com, could you please email me the script so i can compare the code to see if he has actually ripped, all the outputted code and css styles from both are plugins match, so i think he has definitely ripped my script.

    I think Ive see the problem you are all having. I had a large csv file being imported and the file was struggling to be downloaded, resulting in a corrupt file and nonsence in the plugin. I have knocked up a quick perl script to get the csv from aff win and decompress it, before the plugin does its job.

    Ive got 5 sites using it now (a couple still being worked on so no real traffic) and this is the only unexpected problem I have had.
    I have had it where it cant procces the file as it is too large, when i can be bothered ill knock up a perl script to split the file into 3 csv files.

    Overall im still happy.

    I worked out in my testing you needed about 1 minute process time per 1,000 products to get reliable results but that maybe down to my sloppy code :p

    Sounds about right. The plugin can just about cope with 650 lines in 30 seconds on a middle of the road server.

    Thanks

    I do know of at least 3 csv plugins for WP - are you sure he's ripped yours?
    Its out of order if he has - if anyones should be getting ripped its digital-quills since he has taken the ££ from a few people here and done a runner.
    Someone should really rip the insides out his plugin , get it working & release it as GPL.
    im happy to dish it out to who ever wants it :p
    Digital quill... if you dont like this, then give me back my money!!
