JROX JAM Affiliate program integration

[eazy]

I have just installed JAM and now I'm working on integration. I'm kind of confused by the instructions provided by the JROX documentation.

Here is what it says:

#

Save the file, and upload it to your template directory: /includes/templates/custom/checkout_success/tpl_footer.php. custom is your template directory that you are currently using. Also, if there is no checkout_success folder there, just create it, and upload tpl_footer.php into it.

I just don't see how this new directory (checkout_success) would be recognized by zencart. Should I put it in the tpl_footer.php in the common directory, or do exactly like it says?

Thanks in advance

or do exactly like it says?

that should do the trick

Should I copy the existing tpl_footer.php or just create a new one with the JAM php code?

Do what the instructions say.

You create a DUPLICATE tpl_footer.php (from the original in the COMMON folder), and on this duplicate, you put the tracking code (at the bottom).

You then FTP this to:

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/checkout_success/ (if no such folder - create one)

So you get:

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/checkout_success/tpl_footer.php

This is an OVER-RIDE procedure, following zencart convention, and what it does is force the use of the JROX tracking code ONLY when checkout_success is invoked.

At all other times, the STANDARD tpl_footer.php will be invoked - when the tracking code is irrelevant.

Hello,
I am facing a problem with JROX Installation.
Having Completely followed the instructions while testing the affiliate code, the visit is recorded once I check in through the affiliate link however on making an order it does not record the same.
On thorough checking i found that in the checkout_success page it does not generate the footer part at all.
hence there is no record of JROX Codes.


How do I resolve the issue?
I am using cherry zen template.

The tpl_footer.php has been installed in the directory includes/templates/cherry_zen/checkout_success/

Can Any one support me please.
I am waiting for a solution.

I am trying to integrate JAM to Zen Cart and learn JAM functionality.

To do so I have test Zen Cart wich has no Custom templates.

I did install it via Fantastico and populated with the products. So Classic ot Default templates are used (not sure exactly).

I did install and confugure Jam, however did not test it yet.
Last to do is integration.

As it suggested by JAM:

4. Save the file, and upload it to your template directory: /includes/templates/custom/checkout_success/tpl_footer.php. custom is your template directory that you are currently using. Also, if there is no checkout_success folder there, just create it, and upload tpl_footer.php into it.
5. You will now have JAM integrated into Zen Cart.

I do not have Custom folder at this time.
Where else /checkout_success/tpl_footer.php can be placed, or I am out of lack?

Another question how to test JAM program? Where to start? I could not find literature for this topic.
If somebody will suggest a link, it will be greatly appreciated.

If you're using CLASSIC, then consider CLASSIC to be your custom folder.

You should really be developing your site outside of the classic template, which is an important mechanism to investigate errors and faults when you DO have a custom template.

Basically, CLASSIC should not be tampered with because it is the in-built example of "faultless" template behaviour. If you ever have problems, what template are you going to revert to, if you need to do analysis?

Thank you for reply.

I do understand importance of custom template and on my working life web site I do use it for customization.
But being amature in programming I am paranouid to make any testing on life web site.

So I have independent site wich has out of box Zen Cart where I am cheking anything before do it on life site.

So, to follow your advice line should look like:

/includes/templates/classic/checkout_success/tpl_footer.php

where /checkout_success/ is a folder created under folder /classic/

I had second question, which I can not resolve.

How to test JAM?

Is there a link you can suggest for step by step instruction?

Should I see any new menu in Zen Cart admin or in Jam Admin?

I am not sure how to gage that integration works.

Thanks for your time in advance.

I integrated JROX JAM affiliate program and everything seems okay, with one exception:

When accessing the login page for customers (from ZenCart 1.3.8) the password fields (the authentication and the registration of new customers) are automatically filled with a value (it's password for DB server) .

If I change with the correct password, authentication works. Just that at the entrance to the login page I see the password fields filled with other values (it is DB_SERVER_PASSWORD).

Tpl_login_default.php Code is:

<label class="inputLabel" for="login-password"><?php echo ENTRY_PASSWORD; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_password_field('password', '', 'size="18" id="login-password"'); ?>
<?php echo zen_draw_hidden_field('securityToken', $_SESSION['securityToken']); ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />

and after loading the login page:

<label class="inputLabel" for="login-password">Parola:</label>
<input type="password" name="password" value="gelul19" size = "41" maxlength = "40" id="login-password" /><br class="clearBoth" />
<input type="hidden" name="securityToken" value="0789bf4f1258c765fbb69db6d029292a" /></fieldset>

Can you please help me with advice?
