## Description

“MYC4 is an online marketplace that connects you directly with African
 entrepreneurs,
who lack capital to develop their businesses” – From MYC4 About page

This plugin gives you the ability to show your blog readers the businesses
 in which
you invested using the MYC4 platform.

### Upgrade

If you want to upgrade from version 0.4 and bellow you will have to move the
 Images
and Resources folders from the plugin directory to the wp-content/myc4 directory
before you upgrade. This way the images are saved.

If you didn’t read this before you upgraded you will have to delete the
 imported
posts and reimport otherwise the images in those posts will not be available anymore.

## Installation

The “MYC4 Import” plugin can be installed by following this steps:

    ```
    1. Unzip "myc4-import" archive and put all files into your "plugins"
    folder (/wp-content/plugins/) or to create a sub directory into the
    plugins folder (recommanded), like /wp-content/plugins/myc4-import/

    2. Make sure the webserver can write files and create folders inside
    the folder wp-content/myc4
        on Unix this should do: 
        mkdir wp-content/myc4 
        chmod 777 wp-content/myc4 

    3. Activate the plugin

    4. Inside the WordPress admin, go to Settings > MYC4 import, adjust the 
    parameters according to your needs, and save them.
    The format for your MYC4 feed link is: 
    https://www.myc4.com/RSS/UserBidsRSS.ashx?c=<UserID>
    To find your UserId view your investor profile from 
    https://www.myc4.com/Invest/Investors and look at the last number in the 
    url, that's your MYC4 id

    The templates for the post title and content use the values storred in the
    $b array. 
    Here are the possible values you can use:
    <?=$b['name']?>  - name on Myc4 profile
    <?=$b['smallimg']?> - full link to the avatar image ( locally hosted ) 
    <?=$b['cimg']?> - full link to country flag image ( locally hosted )
    <?=$b['largeimg']?> - full link to large image ( locally hosted )
    <?=$b['cname']?> - country name
    <?=$b['shortDesc']?> - short description, the one you can see on the loan 
    page
    <?=$b['longDesc']?> - long description, this is the one from the 
    "Background" 
    page
    <?=$b['largeimg']?> - the first large image from the "Background" page. 
    <?=$b['amount']?> - bid amount
    <?=$b['irate']?> - interest rate
    <?=$b['link']?> - link to profile page
