Guest Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 (edited) Hello, Another quick question, or rather statement. When I click on the Banner Links link in the affiliate box, nothing is ther except : choose the banner you would like to display on your website Shouldn't there be banners in there? And when I click on the Products Link in the affiliate box, the banners don't display ! Maybe I did something wrong? I don't believe so, maybe there is a step I am missing? Well if anyone can answer these issues or at least guide me in the right direction, it would definitely be much appreciated.

Guest Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 (edited) Hello, Well I have managed to fix the line 108 problem. Now I have 1 more issue that needs to be addressed. When YOU LOGIN AS AN AFFILIATE, and click on the products link in the affiliate box, the page displays ok, but the image of the banner DOES NOT. ALSO, when you click on the Banner Links there is no banners what so ever on the page, just a line that reads : Please choose from the banners below Is there a solution for this? Perhaps one would need more detail to help me solve this problem. If so please let me know what you need and I will try to get you this info.

Guest Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 BACK UP BACK UP BACK UP Go to catalog/includes/affiliate_configure.php open it and change this line ( Line 17 ) define('AFFILIATE_KIND_OF_BANNERS','2'); // 1 Direct Link to Banner; no counting of how much banners are shown // 2 Banners are shown with affiliate_show_banner.php; bannerviews are counted (recommended) To define('AFFILIATE_KIND_OF_BANNERS','1'); // 1 Direct Link to Banner; no counting of how much banners are shown // 2 Banners are shown with affiliate_show_banner.php; bannerviews are counted (recommended) That should do it for you, as long as you have created and uploaded banners to catalog/images Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Merlin, I made the change, but still the banner does not display on the Products links or banner links pageswhen clicked. Also, doesn't that change take away the ability to track affiliates? I will await your response. Regards, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Turn your banner debugger on and post the info here so we can see it. Alos and i know this is a no brainer but when you added banners did you set the ones you want as site wide banners to product number 0??? (youd be amazed how many people miss this) Check to make sure your paths are no different from default as well. do the banners you ad show up in admin when you click on their preview?

beggs Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 I have the same problem after upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2. The banners do not display. I have tried debugging and get the following : Check the pathes!

DIR_WS_IMAGES . $banner DIR_FS_CATALOG /secure/./o/outdoor2go.co.uk/xcamping DIR_WS_CATALOG DIR_WS_CATALOG DIR_WS_IMAGES images/ $banner oscoutdoorgo.gif SQL-Query used: select affiliate_banners_image, affiliate_products_id from affiliate_banners where affiliate_banners_id = '3\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Large Banner\"' and affiliate_status = 1 Try to find error: ? SQL-Query: Got Result Locating Pic /secure/./o/outdoor2go.co.uk/xcampingimages/oscoutdoorgo.gif failed so is it looking in xcampingimages rather than xcamping/images. All other images show on the site. I can see them when i preview them in admin. In addition no products appear when i click on the product links and...! when I click on affiliate news I get 1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'MAX_DISPLAY_AFFILIATE_NEWS' at line 1 SELECT * from affiliate_news WHERE status = 1 ORDER BY date_added DESC LIMIT MAX_DISPLAY_AFFILIATE_NEWS Apart from that everything works well!

Guest Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 For my site, i need each product to link to an affiliate, so i've hacked my osc so the product model is now the affiliate_id. Everything works fine..when i upload the product..thru the checkout. It updates orders_products table with the affilaite_id. What i need to do now is assign the sale to the affiliate and send the affiliate an email about the order. Anyone have any ideas how i can accomplish this?

Guest Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Hi, I'm french, sorry for my bad english but I need help with the module Oscaffilliate 1.01. Here my question : I placed an order via an affiliated link, all is OK. In the admin, in the dashboard (summarized sales, summarized clicks, the sale is not posted). However, in the report/ratio of sales of the admin part, I see well the sale of 119 euros with a commission of 5,99 euros to the affiliate. In space counts affiliated, I do not have anything either in the dashboard, but in the report/ratio of the sales of affiliated space, I see well the sale with the commission of 5,99 euros in the table. Here what I obtain : 09/11/2003 119.7?UR 5.00 % 5.99EUR Delivered List 1 to 1 (of the 1 sales) Result: 1 Current Amount of your profits (excl.) of: 0.00EUR Only the validated sales (delivered) are counted by our system! ------------- Why the current amount of my profits is at 0 euro ? Why in the dashboard admin and affiliated, the sales are not counted ? However the clics are counted in these dashboards but no sales. Is it normal ? Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkap Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I've been trying to figure out why the images won't load, and I ran across this 10/13 post from Steve Kemp: Alot of people are saying their images dont show up. I had this problem and it was because of the way I had my config.php setup....anyway you can try this fix, which worked for me... open affiliate_show_banner.php and change the following: Line 124: $pic = DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_IMAGES . $banner; to $pic = DIR_FS_CATALOG .'/' . DIR_WS_IMAGES . $banner; Steve: This has been adressed already in this new release. I made that change, and sure enough it solved the problem. So, my question to Steve is, did that actually get fixed in a new version? I'm using v2.02, which I believe is the latest, correct? I know there's a lot of grey area to the way configure.php is set up -- lots of trickle down effect based on where the slash goes in so and so path setting, with no real documentation of what is the recommended way -- so it would probably be wise to make this aspect of osC Affilliate a bit more flexible, better documented in affiliate_show_banner.php, or at least die on an incorrect path. For what it's worth, I tried turning on the debugging and that did not output anything. I'm somewhat late to this thread and haven't read through all 80 pages, so I apologize if this was covered somewhere in the last 12 pages or so... On an unrelated note, I had to change the table names in affiliate_validproducts.php because they are hard coded into the file instead of using the table name constants which are used elsewhere throughout the program. However, I'm quite impressed so far with the osC Affiliate contribution. Looks quite comprehensive and easy to use ... I'm looking forward to taking it out for a test run as soon as I have everything set up. :) Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkap Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Question regarding affiliate_banners_banners.php: What's the reasoning behind the 'if ($prod_id < 1)' requirements for showing a banner? It seems like it would be impossible for any banner to meet that criteria... I commented out those checks and the page loads fine (blank banners section otherwise). I also noted that in affiliate_banners_text.php (which works as it should) that they are 'if ($prod_id>0)' checks. That seems much more reasonable.
