Jrox JAM integration

[Berzerk]

JAM is on a different server as shop one doesn't do CRON jobs. PHP code on main page of my site so it transfers the cookie. Sometimes it is working fine and commission is correct in Jrox but sometimes at the bottom of the checkout success page you can see:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://www.the_site_name.co.uk/jamaffiliates/sale.php?amount=0.04&trans_id=126>

I am very confused as to why sometimes it is appearing at the bottom of the page not just in the code. Naturally enough when it stays hidden, the commission side works fine. I am using the footer page that JROX says (the zip file download from their site) and it is correctly in the right directory etc - well it must be as it is that page that comes up on checkout success.

I am going to the shop from an affiliate link i have set up as a test.

Any ideas or solutions most welcome.

You posted:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://www.the_site_name.co.uk/jamaffiliates/sale.php?amount=0.04&trans_id=126>

When it should be:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://www.the_site_name.co.uk/jamaffiliates/sale.php?amount=0.04&trans_id=126" />

If not a typo and the URL is missing the closing quotes and / then you need to correct your coding.

Actually domain was in there but you did get me to delve into the code with a bit more care!! One of the variable names was slightly different from the code so am guessing that was it.
I actually had to use the same footer in includes/templates/template_default/common and the cherry_zen one as the checkout_success from within cherry_zen was not overriding for some reason.
Think i may have confused myself!

Thanks for the quick answer though

OK, this is now getting on my nerves. I now have nothing appearing on the checkout success page.

tpl_footer is in includes/templates/cherry_zen/checkout_success so why on earth is it not included at the checkout success page.

Surely that is the override for that part.

Please help!!!

You need to be more specific about your file names and paths.

Customized "tpl_footer.php" should be in:
includes/templates/cherry_zen/common/

Customized Checkout success would be here:
includes/templates/cherry_zen/templates/checkout_success_default.php

Customized "tpl_footer.php" should be in:
includes/templates/cherry_zen/common/

That is true if the intent is to do that site-wide.

But, if you want to do it on a page-specific level, the following works too:
/includes/templates/NAME_OF_CUSTOM_TEMPLATE/NAME_OF_PAGE/filename
ie:
/includes/templates/cherry_zen/checkout_success/tpl_footer.php

Thanks for replies

Have i think sorted it - the code from the JAM site didn't seem to do as required for some reason but now working. The override is fine doing it as i originally did in ../cherrry_zen/checkout_success.
Whether it was solely the code or the fact the shop is on a different domain to JAM i am not sure but seems to be working now and commission going to the right place so i think i will leave well alone!!

Thanks again

Of course it could all just be a case of famous last words.....

Still working!

One last thing i need to do - have posted it on the Jrox forum so copied below as someone here may have experience with it.

Setup all done after a weekend which isn't too bad!
The only thing is i want to set up affiliate links to individual product pages. I have tried using the method prescribed of replacing the "&" with "%26" but always coming up with page not found or no products.
The reason is that the affiliate id is getting appended (as it needs to because the shop is on a different server) to the end of the product URL so instead of products_id=2 at the end of the URL i get:

products_id=251232323123232302323230232323

Is there any way round this (other than moving servers!)

First off I'm totally new to JRox but I wanted the same thing. Basically have each item have their own specific link. I just started browsing in the documentation and came onto this little tidbit. You add the following code before the URL.

http://www.silverpublishing.info/affiliates/jrox.php?id=1&jxURL=YOURPRODUCTURLHERE

As per your info above affiliates will have to know to replace the "&" with "%26". In my case that's not necessary because I use SSU which changes my links completely to something like:

http://mywebsite.com/product-name-product-number

So I'll most probably never end up with an "&" in my product links. If I do, it's something I'll have to look into some more.
