Firstly I would like to point out that i was not "slagging off" the oscaffilliate project. I was venting my frustration at what I believe to be an important problem that I could get no help with. I believe oscaffiliate to be an excellent program as I do the whole oscommerce project, having previously used agora cart. There is no comparison, And when it was working I could not have asked for better. However when it stopped generating ID numbers for no reason it was a concern as I had also invested money to announce affiliate program as by all accounts it was running fine. My website is my main source of income so when i really needed some help, after not receiving one answer at all after several days and having tried every avenue I obviously vented my frustration. But at NO time did my post intend to slag off oscaffiliate.
If you were not equally frustrated after several posts requesting help with no reply and trying all avenues without sucess to fix, you are a better person than I!
I still can not get it to work and have re-installed all files. I have not deleted sql files yet.
So here is my question?
If I delete all files in sql and run query again to see if this fixes can I manually re-enter all my affiliates if I copy all data fields included encrypted passwords by re-inserting into data base via php admin?
And I am using oscaffiliate version 2.02 and php my admin 4.3.3 (Zend: 1.3.0)
When I attempt to set up a dummy affiliate account it all looks like success, except when I hit continue it shows stats page with heading
your Affilate ID is (blank) although I can access all affilate links in box at this time, banner code generated does not have a referral id, and when I attempt log out it claims I was not logged in, will not allow me to log in and data base is empty of any info entered. Affiliate id is set to auto increment, I have removed all traces from data base of all references to previous deleted affiliates. I just have no idea what could have gone wrong.
This also only started after deleting 4 affiliates including a previous test account. Yes I am at a loss and frustrated - forgive me....
