    Default Re: Snap Affiliates v2.0 for v1.5.0 and later

    UPDATE: I don't know what happened, but I deleted the cookie, tried again, and now it seems to work. The cookie looks the same to me as the one I deleted, so I don't know what could have been different. If I see any other issues though, I will bring them up here.

I don't get any 404 errors or anything with custom URL's. In fact, my URLS look like this and load fine (edited out my domain, but hover over the link to see the format):

    http://www.MYDOMAIN.com/store/space-...44491364328461

    But when I place an order using that link, and then when I log into my referral account, it doesn't have record of the sale.
    Does your store orders area have a record of the sale though?

    I did notice one issue though. Perhaps you could clarify if it's a bug, or something that can easily be corrected.

    The way the module works is that it provides you with TWO WAYS of referring a person to the website:

    1. You can use the SITE LINK

    2. Or you can use the DEEP LINK GENERATOR

    However, a cookie is only being created when our user clicks on the site link. It does NOT create the cookie of they click on the deep link generated link.

    Here are the two formats of the URL:

    SITE LINK FORMAT:
    http://www.domain.com/store/&referre...44491364328461 <-----THIS WORKS. COOKIE IS CREATED

    DEEP LINK FORMAT:
    http://www.domain.com/store/space-tr...44491364328461 <---NO COOKIE CREATED

    Any idea why that would be? Should the ampersand be changed to a question mark on the DEEP LINK format? Should a trailing backslash be used before it?

    Jeff, what URL rewriter are you using? There are known problems with this add-on and the various flavors of rewriters. What version of the affiliates plugin are you using?

    I am using ULTIMATE SEO add-on, and the latest version of Snap Affiliates v2.1.0.

    I believe this is the SEO add on right here:

        textArea.style.color = "grey";
      }
    }
    //--></script>
    I believe that those changes will allow your static URLs to accept the referrer variable.

    When all looks good, I'll package the changes and upload.

    That seemed to work for me! I can verify that the cookie is now created using the Deep Link Generator with the Ultimate SEO add-on.

    Thanks for fixing the issue, and I'm glad I could help contribute to making the module even better than it was before!

    I've uploaded v2.1.1 to the Plugins area; it contains the two updated files for the referrer_tools page.

    I did bad!

    The auto-install that I introduced in v2.1.0, on fresh installs, does not recognize that it's been installed and keeps creating the Affiliate Program configuration_group item over and over and over and over ... (you get the idea).

    Here's an update to /YOUR_ADMIN/includes/functions/extra_functions/init_referrers.php that provides the appropriate cleanup.

      if (!zen_page_key_exists('customersReferrers')) {
        zen_register_admin_page('customersReferrers', 'BOX_CUSTOMERS_REFERRERS', 'FILENAME_REFERRERS', '', 'customers', 'Y', 20);
      }    
    }
