Guest Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Seems like this thread has stopped. I have all installed but does not appear to be working as sales do not seem to be recorded. Anyone have ideas or is there better documentation on setting this up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porpoise1954 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) I haven't completely got it working yet either. There are a number of issues I have come across: The "$HTTP_POST_VARS", "$HTTP_GET_VARS" etc. all need changing to "$_POST", $GET" etc. to bring them up-to-date. Have come across some files which have "<?" instead of "<?php" which needs to be changed to avoid ambiguity as "<?" won't correctly parse as PHP on some server configurations. I also haven't managed to get the images to display on banner links, although the text versions work just fine and both types of link at least take you to the correct page on the site, so it looks like the code to select and display the image needs re-working somehow. Unfortunately, it looks like the original developers of this mod are no longer working on it, :( so we're going to have to work this stuff out ourselves. Still, it should be a lot less work than trying to write the whole thing from scratch huh?!?:) In the meantime, it is now 5:00am and I need to get some shut-eye...

porpoise1954 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Well, I've gone through every file and updated all the deprecated $HTTP_******_VARS variables to the newer $_POST, $_GET, $_SERVER, $_SESSION etc. variables and everything is pretty much working (not perfectly, as there are still a few tweaks and a bit of prettifying [getting rid of all the schoolboyish icons! :x for example] to do) and Anglicizing all the English to "PROPER" English! ;). :) Found a great little stand-alone executable to do the "find-and-replace-text" part - TurboSR Search & Replace It required quite a lot of tweaking to get it to work on a highly modified osC 2.2-MS2 site running on PHP 4.4.9 and Apache on Linux 2.6.28.8 and MySQL 5.0.91 Had to make a "New News Item" button, as there wasn't one in the distrib! So, back to the MUST_DO list (the stuff that NEEDS to be done before I can actually put it live!): 1. Currently working on generating differing affiliate rates based on MANUFACTURER as the margins vary widely between manufacturers and the commissions need to reflect this but also need to take into account different affiliate rates and compound the two. Have modified the Manufacturers table to add a commission percentage rate for each manufacturer via the admin page and am currently still testing the code within "affiliate_checkout_process.php" to do all the necessary calculations checking the manufacturer of each product and applying the correct rate to the item before adding it to the affiliate total. Still testing! 2. Still need to incorporate adjustments where Discount Codes/GIFT Vouchers come into play. So, back to the grind-stone - check back later...

Aquarupa Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Hi everyone, For what it's worth - I had the same issue with the affiliate_sales table not being populated when it should be. I solved the problem by changing the following line in affiliate_checkout_process.php : if ($HTTP_SESSION_VARS['affiliate_ref']) { to if ($affiliate_ref) { Hope that can be of use to somebody. :) Yes... work. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Hi, Is there a way to allow the affiliates of my shop to display products via a feed on their website or blog? Much in the same way as Amazon's store widgets. Thanks for any assistance with this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossman Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I apologize if I've missed this information somewhere in this thread - I tried google searching, but I only know how to search the oscommerce support forums - but not the individual threads. I just installed osc Affiliate v2.8 Nov 09 on my test server. I think things are working but it's hard to tell. Are there any instructions on where to find things - like how to setup an affiliate account? I was hoping to have the ability in the Admin area to create an affiliate account for our clients rather than making them do it. Is this an option? Some people may not have their own website to advertise on - is there a way to let them create an affiliate account without having their own site? I can't seem to find how to let an affiliate simply link to the home page or a category page rather than a specific product page. Is there a way to do this? (I've seen the question in the forums, but have found no answers yet). The javascript popup windows aren't working (for the ? marks on affiliate_summary.php for example)- has anyone else experienced this difficulty. Occasionally we need to change a customers order on the website (we have a module installed for that) and it changes their total. Will this module automatically see the difference in the changed orders total? I do have a lot of other contributions installed on this site currently, so I am sure there will be some custom coding happening here and there to get things running smoothly - so far though I haven't found anything that I need to do - so if you happen to already know of any changes needing to happen for STS Templates, Master Products or Separate Pricing Per Customer contributions please let me know. Those are the most likely candidates IMHO that may cause a need for some custom coding. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or assistance you may offer :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossman Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Hi TracyS! I have been searching these forums looking for light w/ the osC Affiliate Add-on. I got int installed and it seems to run, but i can't find where to add a affiliate to it. I noticed you had asked the same. Did you get an answer :) Any info is greatly appreciated!

mossman Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Hello! I have just installed the osC Affiliate add-on. So far it seems to work. I haven't been able to figure out how to add a new affiliate.

birdrockdesigns Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Has anyone got this working with OSCommerce 2.3.1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilo_m Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) I have to say after trawling through this addon code - there are a huge number of issues with the code! However, I have found that osCmax.com have this installed in their new v2.5 version (currently Release Candidate) - found the code in their SVN (on google code) which may provide some pointers to people to fix the numerous issues ... Or like me - you could save yourself a load of time and simply use osCmax! Loads of other modules pre-installed for you as well. Basically a version of osCommerce with a load of work done for you! Still works with almost all of the addons from osCommerce ... Worth a look if you are trying to fix up this module. Hope this helps someone.

rhubarb Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 There's also a published fix for osCommerce Pay Pal IPN in its support thread to get it to work with osC Affiliate properly. Vger Can you give me a pointer to this fix please, I'm not finding it. My problem is that the affiliate sales record is not being added.

wolfmann999 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Can you give me a pointer to this fix please, I'm not finding it. My problem is that the affiliate sales record is not being added. Hi, The affiliate module 2.8.1 works well. However, if a payment service provider is used it generally fails to add the sales record because session values are lost when the customer leaves the osc site and moves to the payment service provider's pages. You can test this by allowing Cash on Delivery payments, for your site, and see if the sales record is then updated. The PayPal fix is as follows: this is not my fix but was posted by pbirm on the 4 Nov 2007 To combine the two, open /includes/modules/payment/paypal_ipn.ph. ********************************************* Find this code around line 76: function confirmation() { global $cartID, $cart_PayPal_IPN_ID, $customer_id, $languages_id, $insert_id, $order, $order_total_modules; directly below add this code: global $affiliate_ref, $affiliate_clientdate, $affiliate_clientbrowser, $affiliate_clientip, $affiliate_clickthroughs_id, $HTTP_SESSION_VARS; ********************************************* Find this code around line 245: tep_session_register('cart_PayPal_IPN_ID'); $cart_PayPal_IPN_ID = $cartID . '-' . $insert_id; } } return false; } and change to: tep_session_register('cart_PayPal_IPN_ID'); $cart_PayPal_IPN_ID = $cartID . '-' . $insert_id; } } // Include OSC-AFFILIATE require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'affiliate_checkout_process.php'); return false; } ********************************************* I have also been able to get the module to work with WorldPay. If anybody would like this fix please let me know and I will post here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

germ Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 It's not written for v2.3.1 That much I can tell by looking at the install directions. It might need some edits to be 2.3.1 compatible.

discxpress Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Hello, I've gotten this to fit in version 2.3.1! Here's what I did: 1. followed a tutorial by kymation http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/368538-guide-to-converting-addons-from-22x-to-23x/ 2. recoded admin/includes/modules/boxes/affiliates.php 3. then correct the 'TABLE_AFFILIATE doesn't exist' database errors. Several files in admin produce that error. In those files change all instances of TABLE_AFFILIATE to: TABLE_AFFILIATE_AFFILIATE All that I believe that needs to be done is to recode the buttons and test functioning. Also, an operational manual needs to be written so shop owners can operate this. I think the right contributors can really debug this mod.
