So far I got the Deny application one off that list but I want to get the change website, and create a payment method selection. (Like "I want to be paid with "Store Credit" or "I want to be paid in PayPal.".) Also a sidebox for easy login after approval.

Also working on a new landing page... The giant wall of text that I have for terms isn't REALLY appealing.

An update was submitted to the ZenCart Modifications database with this BUT it might be denied since it was heavy on the "Hire me to do it" from the original author. (Most of those "mods" he spoke of, anyone on these forums can do for free.)

Delving in on this ... I think I have enough ideas to warrant a new version number LOL.

This is what I'm looking at as stuff to work on.

- Language File Usage
- Deny Ability
- Unban notice sent when an account is unbanned.
- Changing the Web Address from ACP
- Viewing the Country if not in the United States
- Viewing the State in the address if using drop down states
- Creating a define page for the terms and conditions (including writing a sample, will need a legal team I think)
- Payment Methods (Store Credit, PayPal, Paper Check are three options)
- Changing the Payment Methods from the ACP
- More image options. (example, including more than one 468x60 image).
- Usage of ACP to set default commission rate and affiliate ID prefix (using files isn't a good idea for this).
- W9 warning for United States based customers... (Will likely involve me making a brand new set of table fields to hold address information)

Can anyone think of anything else?

I'd have one request if it was at all possible to allow different comission rates for different categories or products. That way one could offer more comission on higher margin products rather than being tied to the one default comission rate.

Something like category A =this and category B = that.

I think I can use the reward point coding here to get it...

Here is one code fix.

While running the email for payouts, I noticed that no matter the referrers would receive an email stating they got $0.00.

Here is a fix to that.

Open admin/referrers.php.

Look for

PHP Code:

---

  $referrers[$selected]['orders_unpaid'] = 0; 


---

Before that add

PHP Code:

---

  $commission_total = $referrers[$selected]['orders_unpaid']; 


---

Now shortly after that in the same file, maybe a line or two down, look for

PHP Code:

---

      "EMAIL_COMMISSION_TOTAL" => number_format(floatval($referrers[$selected]['orders_unpaid']),2), 


---

Replace this with:

PHP Code:

---

      "EMAIL_COMMISSION_TOTAL" => number_format(floatval($commission_total),2), 


---

Now save. You should now have the correct tally.

This coding fixes a coding bug where the commission tally was reset to 0 before it was actually used. Now the script will note the total in a separate variable and will call that variable to put into the email.

Any questions, feel free to post.

can someone explain this, I am using Simple SEO mod and can't get the http://www.mysite.com/referrer_signup.html to come up.
plus anything else that is helpful, I had jrox working but out of the blue it stopped :(

just wanted to add I do get a sign up page with a place to put terms by going to http://mysite.com/referrer_signup
but the same as someone else said, it only leads to sign up for an account through the website, it says nothing about referral program.
I have triple checked all files.

That is because in order to sign up for an affiliate account, you need to get an account with the shopping cart that hosts it and to further you must be logged in to the account as well.

There is no standalone "Affiliate-Only" sign up.

UPDATE:

This one is kind of necessary ONLY if you want to receive emails with the proper link when someone signs up.

If you renamed your admin directory, you really should by the way, you will want to make the following change to /zencart/includes/modules/pages/referrer_signup/header.php

Find:

PHP Code:

---

    HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . "admin/referrers.php?referrer=" . $_SESSION['customer_id']. "&mode=details"; 


---

And change the admin/ to be whatever your admin directory is. Example, if you renamed your admin directory to be "dodobird" this line should read:

PHP Code:

---

    HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . "dodobird/referrers.php?referrer=" . $_SESSION['customer_id']. "&mode=details"; 


---

This way you will get the email notification with the link that will still take you straight to necessary place.

Ok, figured everything else out, but where do I put the path for the banners? I have uploaded them to the templetes/mytemplete/images/referrers folder and changed the sizes to reflect the correct size in the tools file, but they are coming up blank because I don't have the code in. Every way I put the code in it breaks that page.
Can someone post an example and placement please?
Thanks, I am already loving this mod!!
