OSC-Affiliate

[Snowman]

I have a question for thos eof you using the affiliate system, and especially for those of you interested or using the tier system.

 

What extra reporting etc would you require in the admin section of the affiliate module.

 

Do you want the tiers broken down and displayed seperately, 2nd level affiliates listed under the main affiliate etc?

 

give me some idea as to what everyone wants so that i can complete this beast. :)

Did anyone ever get osc-affiliate to work with Worldpay?

im not sure if this will work but in the worldpay file wpcallback.php find the following:

 

 

<?php // Success
if(isset($transStatus) && $transStatus == "Y") {  
 $url = tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PROCESS, $cartId, 'NONSSL', false); 
  echo "<meta http-equiv='Refresh' content='5; Url=\"$url\"'>";
?>
<tr><td class="pageHeading" width="100%" colspan="2">
<center><?php echo WP_TEXT_SUCCESS; ?></center></td></tr>
   <tr>
     <td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '50'); ?></td>
   </tr><tr><td align="center" colspan="2"><table border="2" bordercolor="#FF0000" width="80%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr><td class="main"><center><?php echo WP_TEXT_HEADING; ?></center><br><br> 
  <?php echo '<WPDISPLAY ITEM=banner>'; ?><br><br></td></tr>
</td></tr></table>
   <tr>
     <td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '50'); ?></td>
   </tr>
<tr><td class="pageHeading" width="100%" colspan="2">
<center><h3><?php echo WP_TEXT_SUCCESS_WAIT; ?></h3></center></td></tr>
<tr align="right"><td><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PROCESS, '', 'SSL', false) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_continue.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_CONTINUE) . '</a>'; ?><td></tr>
   <tr>
     <td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '50'); ?></td>
   </tr>

 

and change it to:

 

<?php // Success
if(isset($transStatus) && $transStatus == "Y") {  
 $url = tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PROCESS, $cartId, 'NONSSL', false); 
  echo "<meta http-equiv='Refresh' content='5; Url=\"$url\"'>";

// Include OSC-AFFILIATE 
require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'affiliate_checkout_process.php'); 
?>
<tr><td class="pageHeading" width="100%" colspan="2">
<center><?php echo WP_TEXT_SUCCESS; ?></center></td></tr>
   <tr>
     <td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '50'); ?></td>
   </tr><tr><td align="center" colspan="2"><table border="2" bordercolor="#FF0000" width="80%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr><td class="main"><center><?php echo WP_TEXT_HEADING; ?></center><br><br> 
  <?php echo '<WPDISPLAY ITEM=banner>'; ?><br><br></td></tr>
</td></tr></table>
   <tr>
     <td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '50'); ?></td>
   </tr>
<tr><td class="pageHeading" width="100%" colspan="2">
<center><h3><?php echo WP_TEXT_SUCCESS_WAIT; ?></h3></center></td></tr>
<tr align="right"><td><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PROCESS, '', 'SSL', false) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_continue.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_CONTINUE) . '</a>'; ?><td></tr>
   <tr>
     <td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '50'); ?></td>
   </tr>

 

 

not sure if this will work but you can try it :)

 

Let me know how it goes.

Hello, I got ver 1.09 installed and its working pretty good.

Only prob I have found is the email function dosnt work. either from creat a new account or mail an affiliate in admin.

Also when I try to creat a banner or a link I get a pop up box with the instructions to copy and past the following into your web page but the box is blank

Tony i assume youre using a fairly recent copy of osCommerce...Milestone 2 or newer?

 

If so check back thru this discussion and you will find a fix for the images not displaying.

 

The new version which i should have up tomorrow has this bug and other fixed.

 

As for the mail function, im not sure what could be the toruble there. can you be a bit more specific, ie what error are you getting if any?

 

Are other emails from your store working correctly?

[Guest]

Thank you for your quick response.

Yes when I place a test order I get an order confirmation as customer.

When I signed up as an afiliate it said I would recieve an email and still nothing.

 

I am using ver 2.2 mil 2

and aff 1.09

 

you can view my test site at www.realm-of-merlin.com/catalog

 

I want to get all the bugs worked out before I move it to my live site at www.knick-nacks.com

that would be nice

I've search all 63 pages, high and low, not to find a fix for the following.

 

My Images come up fine when I (the webmaster) aadd them. However, on Build-A-Link, the images are not found. It never seems to work, with debug, direct link, or any other way.

 

Any resolution would be greatly appreciated.

for the build a link to work you need to the product ID for it to build the affiliate link if you look on the previous page you see the code i added for a popup list of products

 

hope this helps

I created an account on your test site to test your affiliate, i reieved the welcome email for the affiliate and recieved the email for order process. seems to be working fine

Thank you,

Now the only thing i need is to know how to pay affiliates.

I hit the payment button and I get a green bar that says all affiliates have been billed.

but when I go to payment screen I show all 0's

[Guest]

here is some text that you can use for your affiliate information which includes a little calculator for your approximate affiliate sales

 

I am also working on the terms & conditions, faq and will post when finished

 

you can see an example at OSC Affiliate information page

 

you will need to edit the affiliate_info.php in your language files

/catatlog/includes/english/

on line 21 relpace the with the following

Nice addition, i will try working it into the update :)

[Snowman]

Thank you,

Now the only thing i need is to know how to pay affiliates.

I hit the payment button and I get a green bar that says all affiliates have been billed.

but when I go to payment screen I show all 0's

Tony what setting do you have for the minimum affiliate payout? has it met this level?

 

What is the setting on for the billign time? has the order been in the system for more than that length of time?

[Guest]

I have a situation where I want to allow affiliates to be able to pass out paper fliers that have their ID number that will allow them to obtain credit for the sale. Do not want to have to provide a complex URL that the customer must type in.

 

My proposed solution is for the customer to have a field that they either fill out when they register (I realize that this would allow the affiliate to obtain commission for all future sales from this customer), or a field that they complete during the check out process.

 

From my review of the Affil code, it appears that I could add a text box in either location and pass a value for "affiliate_ref", but I don't want to supercede the "ref" value if a banner click actually occurred.

 

Have reviewed the 64 pages of postings and although I saw a reference the question I did not see a proposed solution. Snowman did mention "Ian's offercode contribution" as a potential solution, but I was unable to find this contribution.

 

Not well versed in php; any recommendations for a solution and/or code snippets would be appreciated.

 

Regards,

[PrettyPink]

Hi jackal!

 

You will do well do instead use CCGV (Credit Class Gift Voucher) contribution. It can generate a unique reference number/code that is time-limited (defined by you) .. so your fliers can be put to more effective use.

Hello All,

I have installed OsAffilate lateset snapshop form sf.net.

I have it all working excpect 2 problems. and I want to thank all of you for this great effort. I really like this contrib.

 

Problem 1: :( Images not showing up in Build Link Feature. Here is what I get

<a href="http://www.frontiersofhealth.com/product_info.php?ref=2&products_id=1182&affiliate_banner_id=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.frontiersofhealth.com/images/" border="0" alt="Atlast Bars (16 bars/Box)"></a>

The above is what the Build link spits out. the problem is the img srv goes to the top level images dir without the image name.

 

Problem 2: :( whenever I try to log in as an affilate from the affilate login page I get a 404 error. I think this has somthing to with the SSL feature. and the same happens on the affliate forgot password page. just get a 404 any ideas?

This is a live store and I hve been beating my brains out on theis code. i've went over every post on this topic and found nothing. I went over all the post over at sf.net and still found nothing.

thanks in advance!!! :D

[Guest]

as for problem number 1

Go into /catalog/includes/affiliate configure.php

change

define('AFFILIATE_KIND_OF_BANNERS','2');          //

Change above to

define('AFFILIATE_KIND_OF_BANNERS','1');          //

 

I will get back to you on the second problem

Hello Tony,

thanks for the help...

but the same thing still happens. it's not grabbing the image src name....

this is boggling me to hell.

I really want to get this thing working....

if you go to my store and sign up as a affilate you can see what the problem is. I got the images working on the admin side. but not the build link function

thanks again!

[jello1]

BTW,

is there a way to have text links and image links?

[Guest]

Please help.

 

I have installed this contrib vers 1.01 on an MS1 store and I too am having problems with the banners displaying while using this setting.

 ?
define('AFFILIATE_KIND_OF_BANNERS','2');

 

I currently have it set to debug mode and everything looks fine. You are welcome to take a peek at http://secure00.secure-transact.net/~testi...ate_banner_id=2

 

Banner does display just fine if I use the setting of 1. Though the build a link would not add the products_image to the img tag using this setting. I was able to rectify it by changing

 

this: $affiliate_pbanners['affiliate_banners_image']

to this: $affiliate_pbanners['products_image']

 

Any ideas on why they won't display with the setting of '2' would be greatly appreciated.

 

TIA,

 

Trina
