Adding HTML for Affilliate website to my Checkout_confirmation page

[schoolboy]

OK... I think I have a solution!

1. CREATE A NEW FOLDER called checkout_success in the following path:

includes/templates/YOUR-TEMPLATE-NAME/checkout_success

2. FTP a COPY of the common tpl_footer.php file to your local machine:

includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_footer.php

3. Open it for EDITING, using a plain text editor.

4. Right at the BOTTOM of that file, paste the following:

<script language="javascript" src="https://scripts.affiliatefuture.com/AFFunctions.js"></script>
<script language="javascript">

var merchantID = xxxx ;
var orderValue = '<?php echo $order_summary['commissionable_order'];?>';
var orderRef = '<?php echo $order_summary['order_number'];?>';
var payoutCodes = '';
var offlineCode = '';

AFProcessSaleV2(merchantID, orderValue, orderRef,payoutCodes,offlineCode);

</script>

(Remember to re-insert your merchantID and any other stuff you removed when posting the data on this forum)

5. SAVE the file on your hard drive.

6. FTP it to:

includes/templates/YOUR-TEMPLATE-NAME/checkout_success

So you now have it as follows:

includes/templates/YOUR-TEMPLATE-NAME/checkout_success/tpl_footer.php

Just to explain why the folder checkout_success is relevant here...

As the affiliate code is ONLY valuable at checkout_success, creating and naming a folder provides a SPECIFIC PAGE OVER-RIDE for the tpl_footer.php inside it. (In this case, the page is - you guessed it - checkout_success)

ALL other "pages" on your site will continue to use tpl_footer in the common folder.

Additionally, (according to drbyte) you need to put the ZC variables...

<?php echo $order_summary['commissionable_order'];?>
<?php echo $order_summary['order_number'];?>

... into tpl_footer.php for them to work. Apparrently, putting them elsewhere won't help, and they won't work!
