Snap Affiliates v2.0 for v1.5.0 and later

[dsvb]

As the code/process sits today, an affiliate to your store needs to have an account with your store -- that's how the admin side of the processing maps the affiliates's "code" to a person.

That said, you could look at also installing the "Encrypted Master Password" plugin. That would allow you (the Zen Cart admin) to create the account for the customer/affiliate and go through the "difficult" steps of requesting an affiliate link.

thanks for the rapid response. I'll give EMP a try.

Actually, it occurred to me that you don't need to go the EMP route unless the affiliate already has a customer account. If the affiliate is a "fresh" customer, all you need from him/her is their contact information (so you can fill out your store's create-account form) and their desired initial password (ditto).

Then, you just create their account and request an affiliate code on their behalf.

I have a question. First off - thanks for this Haddon - it is great!

I have several images that are the same size - how can I add these short of changing the filetype?

Example, if I have 2 images that are 250px 250px and are both jpg, they would be added like this:

/250,250,jpg/250,250,jpg/ then I would have 2 images with the same name. Is there a way to do this that I am missing?

There's not a method (yet), but what if any file matching the "template" /images/referrers/ref*.250.250.jpg was detected as being a banner image when you specify the configuration /250,250,jpg/? Similar to post #230 in this thread.

There is a method now! I've just submitted v2.8.1 to the plugins area for review, containing support for the above description of multiple banner images of the same size and filetype.

I've just discovered an issue with SNAP Affiliates, where performing any task (Accept, Ban, Pay, etc.) from a referrer's 'details' view -- where that referrer's information is not on the first page of the overall referrers listing -- will have "issues".

The work-around, while I'm determining the best solution, is to set your Configuration->Affiliate Program->Affiliate Display Count to a large number (like 1000, or something much larger than your current count of referrers) so that your referrers' listing will result in a single page of display.

I'll post back here once the solution has been uploaded to the plugins.

OK, it wasn't as bad as I originally thought but there were display and navigation issues when split-page mode was active (i.e. you have more affiliates than the Affiliate Display Count). I've just uploaded v2.8.2 to correct those issues.

v2.8.2 is now available for download ...

v3.0.0 has just been submitted for review; this version includes the capability for your referrers to choose their form of commission payment! Built-in payment choices are "Check/Money-order" and (optionally) PayPal.
