Setup and Configuration

This is an easy one to set up and use! Here's how to get things rolling with the CJ SID Plugin for Joomla! 1.5:

Installation

• Download the CJ SID Plugin for Joomla! 1.5
• Log on as Administrator to your site
• Go to the Extension Installer (Extensions - Install/Uninstall)




• Upload the Package File (browse for the plg_pgcjsid.zip file) and click Upload File & Install
  
  

Configure

• Plugin Manager - (Extensions - Plugin Manager from the Admin Toolbar)
  
  



• Filter: "SID" and click Go
  
  



• Click the title, "System - Commission Junction SID Plugin"
  
  



• Get your CJ PID from the CJ Account Manager, Web site Settings Tab. If you have multiple websites configured in CJ, make sure to select the site on which you're installing this plugin!  This plugin currently supports only one PID per site.  If you have some CJ links that you don't want a sid value added, you can create and use a second pid.  The plugin will only add the sid to the CJ PID listed here.  Need this plugin to support multiple PIDs?  Send us a note and we'll put it on our list.
  
  
• Add your CJ PID in the Plugin Parameters box on the right
  
  
• Select the SID Value you'd prefer to use. The options available in this release are:
  
  
  • Username - The Username from the Joomla User Manager
  • Real Name - The Name field from the Joomla User Manager
  • User ID - The ID column in the Joomla User Manager
  • Title - The article title from the Joomla Article Manager



• Set the Access Level - You may wish to have this enabled for all visitors (Public), if so, please be aware that Username, Real Name and User ID will all appear in the SID as 'guest' for any visitor who is not logged on. If you would rather not include a SID value for guest visitors, set the access level to Registered.
  
  
• Enable the Plugin
  
  

For testing purposes, we suggest that you set the Access level to 'Special', then log on to your site as an Administrator and browse to pages with CJ links, inspect and click the links to make sure they're working and include the SID value.
