fresco Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 (edited) you can remove affiliate box and set redirects in .htaccess if you worry that someone can guess the link to affiliate_xxx.php or i suppose... i do not think that if it is not running it would affect the normal store operation Edited September 22, 2004 by fresco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashwave Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 remove affiliate box and set redirects in .htaccess if you worry that someone can guess the link to affiliate_xxx.php Yeh I thought of the exact same thing but like I said if this is going to HOPEFULLY be in future releases of osc there needs to be another way. Option in admin configuration for affiliate system yes or no. Then we would need a line (or so) of code at the top of every affiliate_page.php to detect the on off status and return a page not found. Something like that...Just a thought. Quote q_|_|| _|9~~J >-o>-o q_|_|| )| q_|| ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cverdun Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 I understand that I am new to the site. A simple suggestion on what the order status (deleted) means in the affiliate module would be nice. every time there is an order it shows up as that and does not give credit to the affiliate.Please help. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sean, I had the same problem. Then I realized I had not updated 'checkout_process.php' during the affiliate installation. __________________________________________________ In checkout_process.php in the catalog directory find line // load the after_process function from the payment modules $payment_modules->after_process(); and insert before it // Include OSC-AFFILIATE require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'affiliate_checkout_process.php'); Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashwave Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 (edited) If anyone had this problem with there table in affiliate_clicks.php...big links make it huge. I had to scroll over to see the right menu. I thought it was an html error but the referer links were too big. I was testing from my site so all sid was included. Fix (It may not be pretty but it works) replace <td class="smallText"><?php echo $affiliate_clickthroughs['affiliate_clientreferer']; ?></td> with <?php //Created to shorten referal URL. ?if ($affiliate_clickthroughs['affiliate_clientreferer']) { ? ?$refer_by = $affiliate_clickthroughs['affiliate_clientreferer']; ? ? ?if (strlen($refer_by) > 50){//change max url link ? ? ? $refer_by_string = substr($refer_by, 0, 30);//Change 30 to whatever ? ? ? $refer_by = '<a href="' . $refer_by . '" target="_blank">' . $refer_by_string . '...</a>'; } else $refer_by = '<a href="' . $refer_by . '" target="_blank">' . $refer_by_string . '</a>'; ? ? ?} else { ? ? ? ?$refer_by = "Startpage"; ? ? ?} ?> ? ? ? ? ? ?<td class="smallText"><?php echo $refer_by; ?></td><!--end Hadir Edit--> Edited September 27, 2004 by crashwave Quote q_|_|| _|9~~J >-o>-o q_|_|| )| q_|| ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimports Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 It would be nice to see what affiliate made the sale on the order invoices. How would I add that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimports Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Also is there a way to make it so that anyone who makes a purchase in the future from the affiliate, gets credit for it? In this case, cookies would not be sufficient in tracking this. I would like to make it so that any time a customer registers an account, he can put down the referrer and this referrer is stored under the customers database. So anytime the customer places an order, it is credited to that referrer. Is this possible? A good solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henri Posted September 28, 2004 Author Share Posted September 28, 2004 Also is there a way to make it so that anyone who makes a purchase in the future from the affiliate, gets credit for it? It's possible. Store the affiliate_id in the customer table, when the customer logs in back into the affiliate session Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I'm really stuck now. On affiliate_signup.php, I get this at the top of the window FILIATE_SUBJECT', 'Welcome to the Affiliate Program'); define('MAIL_AFFILIATE_HEADER', 'Dear Affiliate, thank you for joining the Affiliate Program. Your Account Information: *********************** '); define('MAIL_AFFILIATE_ID', 'Your Affiliate ID is: '); define('MAIL_AFFILIATE_USERNAME', 'Your Affiliate Username is: '); define('MAIL_AFFILIATE_PASSWORD', 'Your Password is: '); define('MAIL_AFFILIATE_LINK', 'Link to your account here:'); define('MAIL_AFFILIATE_FOOTER', 'Have fun earning referal fees! Your Affiliate Team'); ?> Which you can see at http://devilwear.co.uk/store/catalog/affiliate_signup.php I also get an error message in my admin section saying enuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_AFFILIATE_NEWSLETTER_MANAGER . ' ' . '' . BOX_AFFILIATE_CONTACT . ''); } $box = new box; echo $box->menuBox($heading, $contents); ?> Am I missing something as no-one else seems to have this error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncamoe Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 :thumbsup: Sounds like a great contrib. I have not used it yet but I do have a client who needs this type of functionality. Sorry if the questions I post here have been posted previously. Does this contrib alow for evey product purchased while in the affiliate referer session, or is it only good for the one product the banner is for? Is there a way to make the banner or text link start a referer session just in the "top" of the store in general (not a specific product)? Is there a limit on the amount of affiliates you are aloud to have? Thanks for your input. I would just like to know if this will do what we need it to before I invest time installing it. uncamoe Quote Thanks in advance for your help!

devosc Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 if you have a look at v2.6a in the misc directory you'll see a file with info on howto integrate, it should work with intuition, eg. paypal/checkout_process.php is paypal/catalog/checkout_process.inc.php There are also some sql alterations to be performed as specified in the above mentioned file. The only revision that needs to be made is for the edit for catalog/includes/affiliates_application_top.php, you need to also insert: && $affiliates_id !=0 after where it says tep_not_null($affiliates_id) eg: tep_not_null($affiliates_id) && $affiliates_id !=0 Hi, I do not have paypal_checkout.php I am using Gregs PayPal Soppincart IPN 2.8 where should I add this line?

bubbasplitshot Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Hi I wanted to know if anybody used the category link submitted on 12 Aug 2004 posted in the osC affiliate contribution. I could not make it work. When I tried to create a link to my category, it gave me the following code: <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/FILENAME_CATEGORIES_INFO?ref=407&cPath=2&affiliate_banner_id=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.mydomain.com/affiliate_show_banner.php?ref=407&affiliate_pbanner_id=2" border="0" alt="Gifts"></a> What was "FILENAME_CATEGORIES_INFO"? Did I miss anything??? The image was not shown and when I tried to click the image holder, it generated a new window with page not found message. Any idea??? :o Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Was there ever a solution to this question posted? I'm seeing the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbasplitshot Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Here is a (hopefully) complete solution - :D - to the needs for Category Banners for osc Affiliate. Installed fine on 2.2MS2. Not sure about anything later. All of the new files and the (few) necessary file changes are in the package, look at CAT BANNERS README.txt in the zip. This adds the ability to create and manage Category banners in Admin, with click counts same as other banners. It also lets affiliates build Category links the same as Product links. The package is available in Contibutions here: osC Affiliate Category Banners The package ONLY contains instructions and the new files for extending an existing osC Affiliate installation. Enjoy!

Also, has anyone installed it on a version of the Shoppe Enhancement Controller? This looks very interesting - congratulations and thank you to all who have worked so hard.
