Oops! Spoke too soon. Switching admin/referrers.php did generate an error-log

No biggie, it still works for now.

I've just submitted (finally) v4.1.1 of Snap Affiliates for the Zen Cart moderators' review and will post back here when it's available for download.

 This release contains the changes associated with the following GitHub issue:

#32: Admin date dropdowns include only the current year.

Good Morning!

Trying to determine what is the basis for the commissions.
Is it just based on the order total? Other add-ons, discounts, freight, tax

Are gift certificates somewhere excluded.
Items on sale at which pricing?

Thanks,
Dan

The basis for the commission is the order's total-value, less any "excluded" order-total values, e.g. ot_shipping, ot_tax.

There's not (currently) an ability to exclude gift certificates (but I'll add a GitHub change-issue, since it sounds like a "good thing").

If items are on sale, then their on-sale price is part of the order's sub-total ... so it's the sale-price that's used.

Thanks for doing this, Cindy.
An upcoming PR for the affiliates help page will include this mod.

Hi
Just updated our client's version of SNAP affiliates from version 3.0.4 to version 4.1.2. We upgraded ZenCart to 1.5.6 and PHP 7, and appears that things are working except for two issues:

1. In the zen dashboard, Customers=>Referrers are returning all zeros for the Unpaid Total, even though viewing the individual referrers show that they have unpaid commissions:

When I log into the front end as someone with a referral account, clicking on My Account => Referral Program => Orders and Payments I am prompted to log in to view my information. I am logged in and can view successfully view the Affiliate Marketing Tools

Looking for any tweaks that I might have to make.

Thanks for those reports, but I'll need just a bit more information. For either condition, are there /logs/myDEBUG*.log files generated? If so, would you post one of the admin ones (obfuscating your admin directory name) and one of the storefront ones?

Hi
I just saw this response - sorry for the delay. There are no logs referencing this error (thousands with PHP large-image-height warnings!) I cleared the logs and visited my referrals page in my dashboard and nothing fired off. And nothing fired off with the customer dashboard either.

I did notice that purchases that have happened since the update are now showing in the summary dashboard. But not all purchases. And when I go into the customer details area, they display. This person, for example, shows $1.34 in the dash, but actually has $11+ total. I understand that I have to click on the date range to show them all in the detail, but before the summary showed all unpaid?

Thanks for the update. I'll try to find time to see what's up later this week.

... ***very ***later! I've just submitted v4.1.3 of Snap Affiliates to the Zen Cart moderators for review. Once approved, it can be downloaded here: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1635.

Hi lat9

Thanks for this great addon.

I've upgraded my site from 1.5.6b to 1.5.7 in the early Aug, and this week I noticed there is no new affiliate reocrds since the upgrade. I've upgraded the addon to the latest version and placed a testing order, but didn't see it in the affiliate admin or database (I'm sure the cookie is set).

I've also searched the log files using keyword snap, but no result.

I tried error_log() in the class.snap_order_observer.php file and seems this plugin is loaded but function update() is not triggered.

Do you have any suggestions? Or may I know if there is a way to test if this addon is working?

Thanks
Davis

Did you apply this zc157 patch? It's needed when you've got multiple observers of the same notification.

haha, this is what I'm looking for. Thanks very much.

Hi Lat9! I just noticed a particular issue with my setup, and I am wondering if you can pinpoint what the issue may be.

I have an affiliate who just requested payment. He has no earned commissions in the month of September, so I have to change the date in the Order History dropdown box to reflect all transactions from August 2019 thru August 2020:

Then, I go up and hit the PAY button, which should take me to a list of all his unpaid transactions. You can see at this point that there is a total to be paid of $401.30:

However, when I hit "Pay", it takes me to a page that doesn't list any commissions. This is what I see:

I'm just trying to determine why it's not listing the unpaid commissions.

Jeff, were there any logs generated? Which version of Zen Cart and SNAP Affiliates?

Hi Cindy - no logs are generated in the /logs/ folder. And I am using the latest of both. Zencart 1.5.7, and SNAP 4.1.3
