Javascript Affiliate Code Problem

[zohe]

Hello

I have to insert some javascript code for my affiliate program.
I believe I need to insert it into the checkout success page.

I pasted it in to
includes/templates/MYTEMPLATE/templates/tpl_checkout_success_default.php...

And basically it doesn't do what it supposed to do which is send basic order details to my affiliate program....

Uhm and I have no idea what to do next...

This is the code without my variables and values relevant to my site like account number.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
/*** Set your transaction parameters ***/
var aw_mid = '';
var aw_sale = '';
var aw_extra = '';
var aw_parts = '';
var aw_test = '';

/*** Do not edit below here. ***/
call = location.protocol.toLowerCase()+"//www.aw";
call += "in1.co"+"m/sread.j"+"s?a="+aw_mid+"&b="+aw_sale+"&c="+aw_extra+"&d="+aw_parts;
call += "&t="+aw_test+"&l="+escape(window.location.href)+"&tv=1.0";
document.write("<s"+"cript language=\"JavaS"+"cript\" type=\"text/javas"+"cript\" src=\""+call+"&tt=js\" id=\"aw_tag\"></s"+"cript>");
var oImage = new Image;
oImage.src = call+"&tt=ia";
-->
</script>

<noscript>
<img src="https://www.awin1.com/sread.img?tt=ns&tv=1.0&merchant={merchant_id}&amount={sale_amount}&ref={order_re ferrence}&parts={transaction_parts}&testmode={0 or 1}" />
</noscript>


And this is the code with my variables in:-

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
/*** Set your transaction parameters ***/
var aw_mid = '2020';
var aw_sale = 'order_total';
var aw_extra = 'orders_id';
var aw_parts = 'default:order_total';
var aw_test = '0';

/*** Do not edit below here. ***/
call = location.protocol.toLowerCase()+"//www.aw";
call += "in1.co"+"m/sread.j"+"s?a="+aw_mid+"&b="+aw_sale+"&c="+aw_extra+"&d="+aw_parts;
call += "&t="+aw_test+"&l="+escape(window.location.href)+"&tv=1.0";
document.write("<s"+"cript language=\"JavaS"+"cript\" type=\"text/javas"+"cript\" src=\""+call+"&tt=js\" id=\"aw_tag\"></s"+"cript>");
var oImage = new Image;
oImage.src = call+"&tt=ia";
-->
</script>

<noscript>
<img src="https://www.awin1.com/sread.img?tt=ns&tv=1.0&merchant=2020&amount=order_total&ref=orders_id&parts=defa ult:order_total&testmode=0" />
</noscript>

I think it might have something to do with I'm not inserting into the php file properly...

Help!

Thanks

rather than editing the template file and trying to figure out where to put things, stuff it into a file called:

includes/modules/pages/checkout_success/jscript_awin1_affiliate.php

Dr Byte
Thanks for replying... and great idea

Just a few more questions

can i / do I paste the code as is into a file of its own?

or do i need to add php code / tags..

such as
<?php

?>

or anything else?

Thanks
Zohe

as-is would be fine as a starting point.

At some point you'll likely want to add some <?php ...blah.... ?> code to provide some specific data back to your tracking system... such as order number, order amount, etc. But that's going to require some extra coding.

For now, best to be sure that it actually works with raw info first.

Thanks Dr.Byte for the advice
Thats been the whole problem so far that code was not transmitting back teh values to Affiliate people

I assumed i was inserting incorrectly or that I was not adding teh correct php code..

I will most likely be back for more help :-)

Thanks

Dear dr Byte

I did as you suggested put the code as is in its own file. in the dir you told me too.

Now i get a Javascript Error (the little yellow exclamation mark ! in a triangle) on the bottom left of the checkout success page.

The error is
Line : 334
Char: 4
Error: Invalid Pointer
Code:0
URL: https://www.epicheroes.com/shop/inde...eckout_success

I am going to remove the file/code (for time being) because I don't know what the error means. Although orders still come thru ok in Admin.

The main point of the code to transmit data to my Affiliate people is not working.

I think I need to add relevant php code but am not sure

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Zohe
