how to set up affilliate.

how do you set up the affilliate ,i have done everything,but should it send an email with your affilliate link and how to login? I have tested it but you dont have a link or nothing, any help here?

The best would be to add itz to your FAQ http://yourdomain/aff/index.php.

The AFF is not as advanced as it should be with D6

You can go to your admin => Settings => LanguageSettings and Look for Affiliate then you get the language strings. There you add text or links to notify your aff members of what you want to tell them.

I added a link inside the users account page under member info. I had asked how to add a link to sum menu in accounts as well.....Mrpowrless once again provided a great fix (posted below). This does change the fact that the system is extremely basic but it least provides a clear link for members.

FROM MRPOWRLESS

1- admin/menu_compose.php make a new block in my account section?  Blocks are built dynamically so adding code in between one will do all

2- backup and open member.php
In:
function getBlockCode_MemberInfo

after:       
global $oTemplConfig;
add:
global $site;

before:
<!--  Affiliate Program starts here -->

add:
<tr class=table>
<td valign=top align="left" class=control_panel_td_1><? echo _t( "_Referral URL" ); ?>: </td>
<td valign=top align="left" class=control_panel_td_2>
<input type=textfield value="<?=$site['url']."?idFriend=".$this->aMemberInfo['ID']?>" size=42 onfocus="this.select()">
</td>
</tr>
<tr class=table>
<td valign=top align="left" class=control_panel_td_1><? echo _t( "_Referred" ); ?>: </td>
<td valign=top align="left" class=control_panel_td_2> <? echo $this->aMemberInfo['aff_num']?>
</td>
</tr>
<tr class=table>
<td valign=top align="left" class=control_panel_td_1><? echo _t( "_Affiliate Login" ); ?>: </td>
<td valign=top align="left" class=control_panel_td_2>
<a href="<?=$site['url']?>aff">Click here</a>
</td>
</tr>

add new strings & have fun

I knoe this is a dumb question,but do I go to my admin panel and add one of the html blocks ?not sure what to do there, I got the members.php part

I actually only used part 2. I havent tried it but I am pretty sure to add the button in a submenu under account go to your admin - then builders- then navigation menu bulder  then ad a html block under the account heading...



Fill in all the empty spaces and include the link at the bottom..

You can use the other active items or buttons as a refence for what you should enter into the fields. Just open up one that is already there such as unregister.

thanks fleatrax,i got a few ? on the add new strings part,this is what i got so far

You need to sign up as an affiliate before you can log in, sign up page

Ok sorry there is one error in the mod I completly forgot. This mod pulls the wrong id for the reerral url line, it actually pulls the member ID which is different.Affiliate id starts at zero so if member twelve is the first affilaite then that memebrs id will be 12 but his referal id will be 1.

So what I did is just used the affilaite login line

Once my site has more members I will add in the reffered line, but for now its just login.

Hi, I noticed in MRPOWRLESS's code that he had:

<input type=textfield value="<?=$site['url']."?idFriend=".$this->aMemberInfo['ID']?>" size=42 onfocus="this.select()">

and when installed, the Affiliate Link appears on the "Account" Page as:

http://isexclub.net/?idFriend=1

instead of:

http://isexclub.net/?idAff=1 << which appears in the Affiliate Back Office

Which is correct?

Blaine.
