Q
How do I load my contacts via the CSV file?
A
A CSV (Comma Separated Values) is a basic flat text file that stores information from a spreadsheet (such as Microsoft Excel) in a simple generic file format.
   
How to create a CSV file:
 
  • Enter the information you'd like to save in a spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel (see below for examples).
  • Click 'File' on the top left corner of the toolbar.
  • Click 'Save As...'.
  • The 'Save As' window will open.
  • In the 'Save As' window, choose a folder to save the file in from the 'Save in' dropdown box.
  • Enter a name for the file under 'File name'. Make sure the name is easy to remember!
  • In the 'Save as type' dropdown look for and select 'CSV (Comma delimited)(*.csv)'.
  • Click 'Save' in the lower right corner of the window.
  • Now you are ready to upload the CSV file!
       
    Examples:
     
    NO COMMAS!
     
    Enter the name and surname of your mailing list contact in Column A, their email address in Column B, their cell number in Column C, any Groups you'd like the contact to be a part of (seperated by semi-colons(;) if more than one) in Column D and any notes regarding or describing this contact in Column E . No headings are necessary.
       
    Neither the email nor cell number (WE WILL AUTO FORMAT THE CELL NUMBER FOR YOU!) are required but you won't be able to send emails or SMS's to contacts missing these details. The name should not be left blank, it is important! If you don’t have the people’s names, then put Sir/Madam in that column; failing to do this will result in an incorrect upload.
       
    Q
    I received an e-mail-"you have received a response to your Online form"- How do I access the response?

    When you are viewing that screen there will be an option "Check Responses", click that and you will see the responses to your Form.

    Q
    how can I upload .ppt and .xls docs to my site?
    A

    You can upload .ppt and .xls documents to your website by creating a jpeg file out of it, editing the jpeg, and then uploading the document to the website portal. The other way this can be done, is by uploading word documents or .pdf documents directly through the website portal, by following the links for uploading documents.

       
    Q
    How do i load a flash logo of Photos?
    A

    If you decide you want the moving "flash" logo please follow these important instructions.

    The images you upload must be the same size (800 pixels X 200 pixels). Upload the images in the order that you want them to appear. i.e. the first image you upload is the first one that will be seen on your website.

    If you load images that are bigger not the full image will be displayed.


    Step 1: Start by creating your "template background" - For Best results create the image to be 800 pixels wide by 200 pixels high!!
    Save the File as "Background"
    For Example: (Image NOT ideal size - Demonstration only!)
    Step 2: Using the background file that you created above and add "Items" to it. for example, text, another image etc.
    Then Click "File" -> "Save As" and save that as "Image 2"

    For Example:
    Step 3: Now using the "Image 2" you created above add more items to that image. Another Picture, Text etc
    Then Click "File" -> "Save As" and save that as "Image 3"
    For Example:
    You can repeat step 3 as many times as you like, just remember to click FILE -> SAVE AS otherwise you will overwrite the changes you are making
    Alternatively you can have completely different images that then fade into each other. A very nice example can be seen here www.kwikwap.co.za/icentre

    The Concept remains the same, it is multiple images that are the same size that fade into each other.
       
    Q
    I receive a '550 relay not permitted' error message; how do I enable SMTP Authentication for my email client?
    A

    The same username and password used to retrieve your mail from the mailserver on which your domain is setup at Kwikwap, will apply for outgoing mail authentication. A typical error when not authenticating successfully with our mailserver is the '550 relay not permitted' error message from within your email client. It indicates that you are not authenticating to your SMTP server.

    In order to enable SMTP authentication, please follow these steps within your email client: Using Outlook (XP & 2003) -
      Click 'Tools' from the email client menu Select 'Email accounts' From the pop-up, select 'View or change existing account' Click 'Next' (provided the account does indeed exist on your local PC) Select applicable email account and click 'Change' Click the 'More Settings' button Select the 'Outgoing server' tab Ensure that the first option, 'My outgoing server requires authentication' and the second option 'Use same settings as my incoming mail server' is checked on Select the 'Advanced' tab Set the Outgoing Server (SMTP) Port to 587 The Incoming Server (POP) Port should be set to the default setting, 110 Click 'OK' to save these settings Click 'Next' and 'Finish'
    Using Outlook Express (4 - 6) -
      Click 'Tools' from the email client menu Select 'Accounts' From the pop-up, select the 'Mail' tab Click 'Properties'. Select the 'Servers' tab Ensure that the checkbox for 'My server requires authentication' is checked on Click the 'Settings' button next to 'My server requires authentication' Ensure that the first option, 'Use same settings as outgoing server', is selected Select the 'Advanced' tab Set the Outgoing Server (SMTP) Port to 587 The Incoming Server (POP) Port should be set to the default setting, 110 Click 'OK' to save these settings Click 'OK' and 'Close'
       
    Q
    I need to view changes on my website but the option to view current changes is not available.
    A

    The easiest way to view the changes of your website is to open a new window and then go to your website.

    On most browsers there is an option to open a new tab, this is definately the easiest way to check any changes you have made.

    The keyboard shortcut for a new tab is normally CONTOL+T (press control & T at the same time)

       
    Q
    How do i upload videos to my webpage
    A

    Unfortunately you cannot upload videos directly to your Website.

    BUT you can "embed" videos from numerous sources.

    The best way is to upload your Video to www.youtube.com and then using the new text editor, you can embed that video in most places on your website. an example of an embedded video is below:


    The option to click for the video is "Insert/Edit Media Object" (it looks like a little "film") is another way of adding a video. Once you have clicked that option you can enter the URL of the youtube video you want on your website and it will then display there.

    If you want videos from other sources unfortunately you can only place them on your Kwikwap Custom pages for now.

       
    Q
    Can modules be used on several pages like in public area and in memers area with different detail ( member only area should have own protected module )

    Unfortunately not yet. I am sure they will look into it at a stage but right now there are more pressing things that are needed.

       
    Q
    Why can't I change my logo, it shows updated when I published, but it don's show the new logo?
    A

    One of the possible reasons is that you still have the "Flash Logo" active, if that is active and you update your normal logo the update wont take place because the Flash Logo has not been deactivated.

    To deactivate the Flash Logo go to Look & Feel and Disable it there under Logo/Header.

    If you dont come right with that I would recommend you contact your Agent and ask them to check for you.

       
    Q
    bulk update products for online ordering
    A

    Q
    Please help me with this one. I can't change my logo. I choose my file, update logo and publish. it shows my new logo, but when I go to preview or my website the old one is still there. My flash logo is deactivate. Help please!!
    A

    It depends on which template you selected. Have you contacted the person who created the website for you? If you would like me to help you please email me at lanie@moonstone.computers.co.za. Regards Lanie

    Feel free to also contact your agent to ask them for help. They will be able to assist you either over the phone or if possible by coming to see you.

       
    Q
    bottom left,web designers no?and info-i want to delete it??
    A

    This identifies the agent that created the website for you. It can not be deleted. Why would you want to delete it? Are you not happy with the Agent's service you received?

    If you are not happy with the agents service submit a complaint under feedback so that Kwikwap can pull him right.

       
    Q
    Website Buttons on top of page are loger than the page, how do i change it or is it possible to merge or group buttons into sub button links to save space??
    A

    Unfortunately you cannot group Link Items but what you could do is change your template and use one where the links are placed on the left or right running down the screen. This way you will not have the problem of the links bar being too wide.

     

       
    Q
    How do I group my products into groups, I tried but was unable to link existing products to new group, please help me on this topic
    A

    I am assuming that when you say you tried you used the "Allocate Products/Services to a Group" option under your Products and Services.

    When you click that option you choose which group you want to manage, you then click the products that you want to place under that group.

    If you continue to have a problem please contact your agent for help.

       
    Q
    How do I get the detail of property owner on my website, it seems to be no place for him to load his detail, he can only upload property but no detail. Can someone tel me if I am wrong and inform me how it works

    Q
    Can I create a sitemap for my website?
    A

    Not yet, Kwikwap do create a sitemap automatically and send it to the search engines but there is not one for "Website Visitors" yet.

    I am sure this is something they will look into.

       
    Q

    Hi,

    The best thing would be to contact your agent to ask them for training on to use the system. 

       
    Q
    Upload of propperty from website does not seem to work, I can only upload in management portal area and not from website itself. Can someone explain to me how to make it work?
    A

    As I understand it, you can only make changes/additions to the website from the management portal (otherwise may leave your website open to intervention from others?).  Again, pretty new at this myself but am learning through little bits of trial and error ... 

     

    If you are convinced there is a problem send an email to your agent or to technical@kwikwap.co.za.

       
    Q
    The links are horizontal and I want them vertical, how must I do it ?
    A

     You can change your template so that you are using one where the links are vertical.

     

    You can do this under "Look & Feel"

       
    Q
    How do I add albums?
    A

    Hi. I'm just a client like you but all you need to do is go to "Manage Website contents" and add "Additional Modules" then click on "Gallery".

    Activate this module and then go back to managing your content where you will find Gallery added. Click on Gallery and play. Have fun. 

    PS: It is wise to make sure all your photo's are of the same size. Otherwise your photo gallery pictures will overlap and it doesn't look good.  

       
    Q
    where does one read the answers to this stream of questions?
    A

    no idea 

       
    Q
    why are there so many unanswered questions?
    A

    There are too many clients that do not receive proper training from their agents. There should not be so many questions? 

       
    Q
    How do I retrieve the photo that I removed from the home pahe
    A

    hopefully you saved the photo on your desktop PC. The get it from there. 

       
    Q
    How do I get higher on the search engines like Google?
    A

    There are two manuals in your website management portal that teaches you the finer points of getting your website higher on Google. One thing that is important is the age of your website, so the sooner your get a website the better. Regular updates to your website is also important.

    Alternatively you can type in the phrase "increase hits on website" that will give you allot of links to pages where you can read about how Google searches and index pages and tips on how to increase your hits.

       
    Q
    I have just got a website from Kwikwap, why is not showing on Google as yet?
    A

    Google's robots (computers that scan the internet and index the info on the internet) come around every few days or weeks, it then assesses each website and tries to read all the info on the websites and then ranks that webpage according to its algorithm. The better websites rank higher. Even if you search for your unique and specific name, will you not find yourself immediately as Google's robot / spyders have not seen your website yet. Give it a week or two and then try again. If you have a complete flash website then Google might have trouble in reading your website and may even not find your website at all, even after months or years.

    What is applicable to Google, as discussed above, is also applicable to the other search engines like Yahoo!, Live, Ask Jeeves, Dogpile etc

     

       
    Q
    I have difficulty uploading a picture in the specials area, even after making it 43x43 pixils? How can i solve this problem

    If you are having further problems then the best would be to contact your agent to ask them for help.

    Q
    How do I start with Online Ordering / Shop?
    A

     Here is the way to start your online shop on your website:

    1. Activate the Online Ordering Module under Additional Modules in your Client Management Portal (there where a client work on his website). The online ordering is only available to client on the Level 3 package. Customers on the lower packages can activate and test it but will be upgraded to the higher package to use all the functionality.

     2. You will be asked for Registration Details such as Contact Person and Telephone Numbers etc

    3. You also have to complete the Payment Details and Types

    4. A Client can have three methods to transact with you:

                a) Accept credit card payments through a Payment Gateway (like an internet bank), and/or

                b) Direct deposit or transfer into your bank account (EFT), or

                c) Quotations

     

                a. Credit Card

                You have to open an account with the Payment Gateway (there is a link to click that says  "Click here to             get your Merchant Identifier" that you need to click) and then enter your Merchant Identifier into your                Online Ordering Module in Kwikwap. The monies does not flow through Kwikwap but rather through                  the Payment Gateway. To open the Payment Gateway is free but their transaction charges are R2,50                + 4,9% of the purchase price (these rates are the industry standard). Click here to get your Merchant                Identifier. (Once you have registered and logged in, your Merchant Identifier can be found under   My                  Account then Overview.)

                b. Direct deposit / transfer

                After the customer has placed the order, he/she receives an email with your banking details. You also               receive a copy of the email (which also includes the clients details). The client then deposits the money             with a system generated order number. Once you have received the payment, the goods can                             be shipped.

                c. Quotations

                Once the customer has come to the end of the order process he/she will be able to request a         quotation. A quotation will automatically be sent to the client  with their products they have previously selected.

    5. You will now see a new link under Manage Website Content on the left where you can manage the activated module. If you would like to disable you can do so under Manage Website Content using the links on the left.

    6. Under the new menu item (Online Ordering) that you now see under Manage Website Content, you will find the following sub-menus:

                -Manage Products Available for Order

                -Check received Orders

                -Update Thank you and Shipping / Order / Quotation Terms      

                -Update your Registration Details        

                -Manage your payment details and types

    7. Each sub-menu item is self explanatory (and it has descriptive text in there)

    8. It is important to note that the website and online shop can (currently) have two different Product Databases' (mainly due to the fact that you might not want such long descriptions in the Online Shop in order to keep it neat or because some Products / Services in your website might not be for sale). You can move Products between the two Databases. It is also important to note that the price of the item must be in Cents (with no commas added)

       
    Q
    Waht should I do if I see some info inthe back end but it does not show on my website?
    A

    There is a button in the top left hand corner that says " Problems, click here". That button recreates and republishes your whole website and will fix any errors (like a lost internet connection) that might have happened the previous time you published your website.

       
    Q

    Q
    Why does my uploaded advert from Kalahari.net not show?
    A

    It is possible that something went wrong when you copied and pasted the supplied code (or that you did not press the Publish All Changes button). Please try again. Make sure that you Refresh your browser to see if the ad is now showing. CNTRL and F5 pressed simoultaneously workd very good to do a proper refresh of your website.

       
    Q
    once i get notification on my email stating that i have received a query, how do i find that query??
    A

    You log into your websites management portal. Click on manage website content. Click on Forms Survey. Click on check responses.

       
    Q
    Where on earth does the advert actually have to appear? When copying and pasting into the provided advert box, where does that appear?
    A

    Adverts only appears at the bottom of the website of customiseable templates. It does not show at the bottom of pre defined templates. One can however now with the new text editor insert images anywhere in your website inclucing Gif images. (Those moving images) You can then insert a hyperlink in the picture be it a Jpeg image or a Gif Image.

    So you can now also have adverts on Pre Defined Templates just not at the bottom of them. 

       
    Q

    A

    I don't have the answer to the question, but I do want to say I agree.  After registratio I took some time to develop our website, it took quite a while and I'm still not finished.  I realized how little was done by our agents and their name appears on the bottom of the main page.

    A

    Dear Sir,

    Thank you for your lengthy (be it a bit emotional) answer

    First of all there are further questions about this in both the archived question and answer section and in the Help section under Suggestions. Thus it appears that more than one client is "questioning" this practice. Maybe it is as simple as that that the paying client should decide WHAT he / she wants on her site  or not as he / or she is paying a monthly fee. And surely the client knows very well who set up his/her site. 

     

    Further more KWIKWAP is a effective and evolving enough system to sell it self.

     

       
    Q
    how do i activate my sms
    A

    You do not need to activate SMS. You simply put the number of drops required into a half glass of water and drink!

    Thanks to whoever posted the funny :) the sms system is available to all clients who have a real site i.e. not Demo.

    The best way to check this is to contact your consultant to find out. A rule is, if your a paying client your site should be real, if it is not then contact your consultant.

    Q
    How come I cannot see my hit counter anymore, it is very useful in knowing the activity on the site?
    A

    Kwikwap is rewriting the Website Hit Counter because it was causing problems with the new server. It was a great tool and will be added back shortly. At the bottom of your website is still the total hits unless you are using a Set Template.

    The problem is that there are paragraphs with spaces between them. Take the spaces away, paste and once the content is where it needs to go, put spaces between paragraphs again. 

       
    Q
    Hi, my site is relatively new, Google is picking it up but I have no results as far as the images are concerned - The Photo Gallery part is the most important part for me. How long does it take for images to be seen? And does Google read the text below im
    A

    Unfortunately you do no tell us what your site's address is. Google Images takes longer than text. I don't know exactly how long but I do know that websites with a lot of data also get better results with their images. Yes Google reads your text below the images. Your whole website get's read by Google.

    See the How can I Improve my web presence under the help function.

    If you are really desperate to get quicker results you can also pay Google for Clicks you get. The trick is to have a proper website that will turn clicks into buying customers. Then a paid Google campaign will pay for itself.

    My advice is to continue adding data in the form of text and to make your website as complete as possible and to be a little patient. Google will pick you up. At least with a Kwikwap Website you can log in on a daily basis and add data and it does not cost you a cent.

    Q
    Google map not showing on web page after inserting API key
    A

     The reason is probably that you entered the key incorrectly. One can easily copy the API key but beware that you don't copy extra spaces before or after the key.

       
    Q
    After inserting the API key correctly with no spaces at the beginning or end, the google map is not displayed on my website. It just shows a heading "Where we are" but no map is displayed. It also shows that the map is active.
    A

    The problem was resolved when I chose another template - I changed from template 4 to 7 and the very first time it displayed the map correctly.  The reason I changed form templete 4 is that my flash logo was also not displaying correctly.  The right hand part was cut off and changing to template 7 resolved that problem also.  It appears as if template 4 may be a bit problematic?

    Q
    What is CSV
    A

    Comma-separated values

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    A comma-separated values (CSV) file is used for the digital storage of data structured in a table of lists form, where each associated item (member) in a group is in association with others also separated by the commas of its set. Each line in the CSV file corresponds to a row in the table. Within a line, fields are separated by commas, each field belonging to one table column. Since it is a common and simple file format, CSV files are often used for moving tabular data between two different computer programs, for example between a database program and a spreadsheet program.

    Technical background

    A file format is a particular way to encode information for storage in a computer file. Particularly, files encoded using the CSV format are used to store tabular data. The format dates back to the early days of business computing and is widely used to pass data between computers with different internal word sizes, data formatting needs, and so forth. For this reason, CSV files are common on all computer platforms.

    CSV is one implementation of a delimited text file, which uses a comma to separate values (where many implementations of CSV import/export tools allow an alternate separator to be used). However CSV differs from other delimiter separated file formats in using a " (double quote) character around fields that contain reserved characters (such as commas or newlines). Most other delimiter formats either use an escape character such as a backslash, or have no support for reserved characters. The benefit of CSV is that they allow for the transfer of data across different applications.[citation needed]

    In computer science terms, this type of format is called a "flat file" because only one table can be stored in a CSV file. Most systems use a series of tables to store their information, which must be "flattened" into a single table, often with information repeated over several rows, to create a text file.

    [edit] History

    Comma-separated value lists are very old technology and predate personal computers by more than a decade; the IBM Fortran (level G) compiler under OS/360 supported these in 1967, and they were not a new idea even then. Comma-separated value lists were often easier to type into punched cards than fixed-column-aligned data, and were less prone to producing incorrect results if a value was punched one-column-off from its intended location.

    The comma separated list (CSL) is a data format originally known as comma-separated values (CSV) in the oldest days of simple computers. In the personal computer industry (then more commonly known as a "Home Computer"), the early most common use was by small businesses for generating solicitations using boilerplate form letters, via mailing lists.

    Some early software applications, such as word processors, allowed a stream of "variable data" to be merged between two files: a form letter, and a CSL of names, addresses, and other data fields, and still do, simply because tasks requiring human input (construction of lists) is natural and easy using comma separation delimiting. CSL/CSVs were also used to exchange data between desktop computers of different architectures, and for simple database uses.

    [edit] Specification

    [edit] Background

    Comma separated lists date from before the earliest personal computers, but were widely used in the earliest pre-IBM PC era personal computers for tape storage backup and interchange of database information from machines of two different architectures. In that day, affordable hard drives did not exist, and many small businesses tried to achieve the benefits of computing using floppy disk based software. [1]

    No general standard specification for CSV exists. Variations between CSV implementations in different programs are quite common and can lead to interoperation difficulties. For Internet communication of CSV files, an Informational IETF document (RFC 4180 from October 2005) describes the format for the "text/csv" MIME type registered with the IANA. Another relevant specification is provided by Fielded Text which also covers the CSV format.

    Many informal documents exist that describe the CSV format. How To: The Comma Separated Value (CSV) File Format provides an overview of the CSV format in the most widely used applications and explains how it can best be used and supported.

    [edit] Basic Rules

    The basic rules from a lot of these specifications are as follows:

    CSV is a delimited data format that has fields/columns separated by the comma character and records/rows separated by newlines. Fields that contain a special character (comma, newline, or double quote), must be enclosed in double quotes. However, if a line contains a single entry which is the empty string, it may be enclosed in double quotes. If a field's value contains a double quote character it is escaped by placing another double quote character next to it. The CSV file format does not require a specific character encoding, byte order, or line terminator format.

    • Each record is one line terminated by a line feed (ASCII/LF=0x0A) or a carriage return and line feed pair (ASCII/CRLF=0x0D 0x0A), however, line-breaks can be embedded.
    • Fields are separated by commas (although in locales where the comma is used as a decimal point, the semicolon is used instead as a delimiter, inducing some drawbacks when CSV files are exchanged e.g. between France and USA)
    1997,Ford,E350
    • In some CSV implementations, leading and trailing spaces or tabs, adjacent to commas, are trimmed. This practice is contentious and in fact is specifically prohibited by RFC 4180, which states, "Spaces are considered part of a field and should not be ignored."
    1997,   Ford   , E350
    same as
    1997,Ford,E350
    • Fields with embedded commas must be enclosed within double-quote characters.
    1997,Ford,E350,"Super, luxurious truck"
    • Fields with embedded double-quote characters must be enclosed within double-quote characters, and each of the embedded double-quote characters must be represented by a pair of double-quote characters.
    1997,Ford,E350,"Super ""luxurious"" truck"
    • Fields with embedded line breaks must be enclosed within double-quote characters.
    1997,Ford,E350,"Go get one now
    they are going fast"
    • Fields with leading or trailing spaces must be enclosed within double-quote characters. (See comment about leading and trailing spaces above.)
    1997,Ford,E350,"  Super luxurious truck    "
    • Fields may always be enclosed within double-quote characters, whether necessary or not.
    "1997","Ford","E350"
    • The first record in a csv file may contain column names in each of the fields.
    Year,Make,Model
    1997,Ford,E350
    2000,Mercury,Cougar

    [edit] Example

    1997 Ford E350 ac, abs, moon 3000.00
    1999 Chevy Venture "Extended Edition"   4900.00
    1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee MUST SELL!
    air, moon roof, loaded
    4799.00

    The above table of data may be represented in CSV format as follows:

    1997,Ford,E350,"ac, abs, moon",3000.00
    1999,Chevy,"Venture ""Extended Edition""","",4900.00
    1996,Jeep,Grand Cherokee,"MUST SELL!
    air, moon roof, loaded",4799.00

    This CSV example illustrates that:

    • fields that contain commas, double-quotes, or line-breaks must be quoted.
    • a quote within a field must be escaped with an additional quote immediately preceding the literal quote.
    • space before and after delimiter commas may not be trimmed. This is required by RFC 4180.
    • a line break within an element must be preserved.

    [edit] Line break handling within CSV files

    It is noteworthy to say that many applications will not handle a line break within a cell as in the example above. Such applications may interpret the line break as a delimiter and call for a new cell to begin. In this case, the layout of the CSV file will be disrupted or broken.[2]

    [edit] Application support

    The CSV file format is very simple and supported by almost all spreadsheets and database management systems. Many programming languages have libraries available that support CSV files. Even modern software applications support CSV imports and/or exports because the format is so widely recognized. In fact, many applications allow .csv-named files to use any delimiter character.

     

       
    Q
    Why are my photo gallery pictures superimposing?
    A

     This is happening because the images are not the same size.

    The gallery "preloads" the image behind the one currently showing, and because they are different sizes the one behind shows.

    The "easy" fix for this is to make the images the same size.

    Q
    I'm trying to load a new picture on my home page( the bottom one) I'm sure I'm doing it right, but the picture does not change
    A

    Are you sure you are using a customiseable template?

    You can also phone your agent to train you better.

    You can use the text editor to upload photos where you want. You do not have to only use the "Upload Home Page Image buttons.

    The allowed size is 1 MB but inside the text editor it is 140 kb. Large enough. The home page images buttons were put in place before we got the new text editor.

    The Home Page Images button limits you to where the photo displays. It is fixed / pred defined.

    Better use the Images Icon inside your text editor.

    Q
    With regards to the Photo gallery option, how do we reduce the rotation speed and how do we add text to the photos?
    A

    Currently the rotation speed can not be changed. You need to make a suggestion in the feedback section of the website or vote if the suggestion has already been made. Instead of using the Photo Gallery you can use Picassa Web Albums which you can embed onto your Kwikwap Website. In Picassa Web Albums you can set the speed. You can also add captions.

    To insert a screen tip on a picture you right click on the image, click options and insert the screen tip. Great for improving SEO.
