Do you have your admin's Configuration->Affiliate Program->Include in Information Sidebox set to true?

I'm finding that after uploading the files, as per instructions and changing all the Your_Template folder names to my "template_default", then logging into initiate the db update, it still won't show up in my information sidebox where it's suppose to. I've done pretty much everything, checked everything several times, so now I'm at a loss as what I can do next to get the script running.

I have the same problem, and I have my config set to "true", but it doesn't show.

For the affiliates link to show in the information sidebox:

1. The "Show Affiliates Link in Sidebox" needs to be set 'true'
2. The "Information" sidebox needs to be enabled
3. The file /includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/informtion.php needs to be present
   Since you say that 1 and 2 are true, I'm guessing that you missed the folder-rename for the sidebox module.

Nope, did it all and still won't appear.

@motherlode: Would you post a link to your website?

@motherlode: Replace the file /includes/modules/sideboxes/classic/information.php with the following:

I added the bit in red just to make sure that the sidebox code is being run.

Note: I don't want to nag, but your use of the classic folder as your "override" folder might cause you problems when you upgrade.

I have the Stock by Attributes module on my store. Anyone know if this mod plays nice with that?

Which version of SBA are you using?

picandnix:

Which version of SBA are you using?

I think it is 1.5.1.1

I know orders files are overwritten by both mods, but if the changes were done manually... just wondering.

Play safe, can you please post a link to the SBA mod that you are using.
NB you should always manually compare file merges rather than blindly over right files.

Sorry, been away for a bit. Now ready to tackle this.

I checked my directory, and there is no "information.php" in this path..... rather it's ---- /includes/modules/sideboxes/classic/empty.txt

To bring us up to speed can you re-post your original question please?

Echoing what picandnix said, but to answer your last question ... "I checked my directory, and there is no "information.php" in this path..... rather it's ---- /includes/modules/sideboxes/classic/empty.txt" ...

That implies that

1. You're still using the classic template. You should create your own template directory if you make changes; see this FAQ (http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?180-how-do-i-create-a-new-custom-template) for details or install one of the very nice free ones available in the Plugins. Doing this will save you *major *grief the next time you upgrade your Zen Cart software!
2. You haven't yet made changes the the information sidebox file. Once you have your custom template, you would copy the plugin's file /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/information.php to /includes/templates/CUSTOM/sideboxes/information.php.

Apologies it's 2am and my head is splitting open ... Does the customer (referrer) have to have a website?
We have a few artists on our dev team and they don't have websites, but if they are promoting our products it would be good for them to have some compensation within an affiliate program. :)
Promoting on facebook pages, forums, places where they frequent, even our video artists have YouTube.

Cheers :)

You could have the people who are promoting your store via facebook or youtube to simply enter facebook.com or youtube.com as their website. The website name is gathered solely for your record-keeping.

Awesome, after school goes back for us I'll get the other half to install it :) Need a day to ourselves rather than chase the monster.

Thank you.
