Guest Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Users using the Mozilla Firefox browser can't create an affiliate account. When registering, the user gets the congratulations screen and the welcome email but the affiliate account doesn't really get created. Would someone know how to fix this? Thanks! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have this problem aswell. I have also noticed that if a mozilla 1,0 user clicks an affiliate banner, the clickthrough does not get recorded. Therefore it is likley that the commision from mozilla users will not be recorded either. Signing up and recording clickthroughs in explorer works great though. Please update me on this one if you can.!! Many thanks. / Zipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hi,Amen, ...... I asked basically the same question just a few days ago. It would be nice to have a 2.031 or even a 2.04 Peter <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Im working on it but im flat out at the moment, im hoping to have it wrapped up by the end of the month at the latest. The next version will be the last i do before commencing on a MS3 version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbes_TheReal Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Heyo all, :) fast question : I have in my store now 28 merchants, we sale downladable Products. Is the osc affiliate a add on, that my merchants can see how many they sale and what for Provision they will come, and makes the Reports for ? Report for sales : everyday, every week, every month, every year ?? Normally i do all that in Exel and i search a better and faster way, to do that. Or is that a contrib, that members from other sites can send his users to our shop and for that sales they will become a provission ? Cheers Hobbes Sorry my bad english by the way ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendriks Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I just noticed that not all clicks show a originating URL (they all show the name of the affiliate). Does somebody know why this happens (type of browser, cookies accepted or not, etc)? And does this have any influence on the right assignment of resulting sales to an affiliate? Any help or thoughts would be appreciated. Jeroen Hendriks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMike Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 What do you do when some items ordered is out of stock? Do you manually edit the numbers in the DB affiliate tables? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Problem solved, I think. I noticed that a new verion of Mozilla was out (1.0.1) and uninstalled ny current one (1.0) completely. Installed 1.0.1 and made the same tests. Now it seems to be working great. I?m thinking the problem me and some others had with mozilla not keeping/making affiliate sessions was client related in some way. I?ll get back to you guys if the problem comes back. Otherwise, thanks for the answers. :) Regards Zipper An interesting issue as i use Firefox and its workign fine on my own sites.

sheepiedog Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I am using the affiliate contribution just for internal tracking. I just noticed that a link to domain.com/index.php?ref=6 works, but www.domain.com/index.php?ref=6 does not work - how do I get it to track using the www ? Is there something I am not seeing? Also to link just to the home page, do I have to use /index.php?ref=6 or can I just use www.domain.com?ref=6 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I am installing osc-affiliate and when I attempt to install the files: button_affiliate_build-a-link.php, and; banner_affiliate_clickthroughs.php, I get an error message saying "File name too long. Please try again." Any suggestions? Thanks Dave muddparts.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daphneg Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 All right.... I'm actually going to try to post this in the right spot on this forum. What can I say: final exams are frying my brain. Where does one change the option for approving affiliates? Right now, when someone signs up, they're automatically listed as an affiliate. I'd like the option to approve them before they do somethings stupid. But, I can't find where on the admin side I can fix this. Thanks!

Daphne <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree, it's a bit strange, but there's an acceptable work around. Just set the standard percentage to 0% and give the affiliate another percentage once you've approved his account. Jeroen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I be alarmed...? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, not really, but they do have access to all the links in the Affiliate Menus and Affiliate Account too. It would be nice to be able to approve them first so that you can set restrictions on how they use your code. This will allow you to verify their websites and your code being used.

Let me add that it would also be nice if there was some sort of alert for every new application. Right now there's no really easy way to find out if a new affiliate applied.

Guest Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I'm having a strange problem with the insert of orders related to affiliates. When it inserts an affiliate sales it places two records into the database. The first has all information correct except the order id it uses 0, where as the second insert has all the correct information. Now if someone else places an order using that same affiliates id it gives an error: 1062 - Duplicate entry '0-1' for key 1 insert into affiliate_sales (affiliate_id, affiliate_date, affiliate_browser, affiliate_ipaddress, affiliate_value, affiliate_payment, affiliate_orders_id, affiliate_clickthroughs_id, affiliate_percent, affiliate_salesman) values ('1', '2005-03-29 23:11:07', 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)', '67.39.2.8', '5', '0.5', '', '', '10.00', '1') [TEP STOP] Why am I getting this double insert, I only see it calling that part once. And why is the first one always 0 for the order id? Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Nevermind with my problem, seems there are two // load the before_process function from the payment modules $payment_modules->before_process(); And you need to place the include to the affiliate module before the second one not the first one. :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscfrazzled Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Is there a way to mark which products give a commission and ones that do not?i sell a mixture of tangible and intangible goods and some i dont make any profit on and with those i would like to not give out a commission. I know there is the contribution to make products authorized but from what i understand that is just for making the links correct? I would like to allow everyone to just point to my main page and get commission that way instead of making individual links. TIA for any information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
