This page tries to explain the usage of callback functions. callbacks are php-functions used to filter and manipulate feed data. Each item in a feed is parsed by the callback function. In the feed configuration the default callback is set to generic_cb. You can change this to your own functions. Callback functions go into the feeds.php script, there is a 'edit callbacks' tab/link in the menu's

Almost all datafeeds contain links to images, located on the server of the merchant, a CDN or at the networks servers. You might want to host the images on your own server:
- A lot of external images might be a trigger voor google
- Sometimes the images are ridiculous large
- Even with images of decent size, resizing them using an image library like GD gives better quality then using html/css
Fetching the images during feed parsing is not a good idea, it will take a lot of time, and with a bit of bad luck the merchants server will block your IP for abuse. A better option is to fetch and store the images when needed with a technique similar to 404-caching
The component allows to modify the image url used in the components and modules templates
license users can obtain code examples.

Getting the affilinet feeds
Downloading the affilinet feeds requires a key/password, but the link created when clicking on the poduct search->product lists (url) gives the wrong password resulting in a 'wrong credentials'.
The CSV links on this page look like :
http://productdata.download.affili.net/affilinet_products_899_494090.csv?auth=KEY
Go to account->technical settings->csv settings->CSV product data. (url). One the bottom you will find a password ( or generate one), replace KEY the with this one. Or use the link just above the password to download a list of al productfeeds.
put the producturl in the 'feed url' of the feed configuration select the correct class ( most likely CSV ; ") and click apply.
affilinet feed of feeds
To use the affilinet feed of feeds you need your CSV password. (SVN:950)

Curl and redirect issue.
When using curl combined with some security settings ( safe_mode and/or open_baseir) you might have problems downloading the feed: affilnet is redirecting the feeds and your server settings do not allow this. Please copy and paste the url into your webbrowser, and copy the RESULTING url back.
http://publisher.affili.net/Download/AutoDownload.aspx?PartnerID=000&csvPW=xxx&listID=1397 becomes http://productdata.download.affili.net/affilinet_products_1397_000.csv?auth=xxx
just a note
Affilinet sucks big time on their feeds ( at least affilinet-NL), it's a big encoding mess. While most networks got it sorted out, affilinet is still in kindergarden.
