Snap Affiliates v2.0 for v1.5.0 and later

lat9:

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.

v2.8.1 is now available for download from the Plugins.

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 :blush: 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.

v3.0.0 is now available for download ...

I've been notified (thanks, bumba000) of a minor XSS flaw that has existed within the Snap Affiliates code from the get-go. v3.0.1 contains this correction and is now available for download from the plugins area (http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1635).

All changes associated with this update are marked with //-v3.0.1, making it easier for you to find and correct the issue. For those of you using a version prior to v3.0.0, you only need to focus on the changes in the header_php.php files on the referrer_edit and referrer_signup pages.

Can one do deep linking with Snap?

Yes, affiliates can create referrer-code links to any page on your site.

lat9:

There's a session variable set if the current customer has entered your store using an affiliate link, so you'd bracket your custom coupon-limiting code with:

if (isset($_SESSION['referrer_key']) && zen_not_null($_SESSION['referrer_key'])) {
  <your custom code here>
}

Thanks for your response, is this to be added to class.snap_order_observer.php?

Also can I define a message to show when the coupon is attempted to add?

If it were me, I'd create yet-another observer to handle your specifics (disallowing certain coupon codes for orders that will be giving an affiliate commission).

Thanks but I have no idea how to do this :smile: would greatly appreciate any help!

Please start a new thread (outside of SNAP Affiliate's support thread) and I'll give you a couple of pointers.

Posted here TIA

I just submitted v3.0.2 to the plugins. This version corrects the handling of CR/LF sequences in the status-update messages; incorporates osh_updated_by v1.2.1.
