Affiliates link

[Gears]

Hey

 

The Unique referral link looks something like this:

http://whmcs.example.com/*?aff=022

 

 

Is it possible to use something like https://whmcs.example.com/order.php?aff=022

or

https://whmcs.example.com/order.php?step=2?aff=022

or anything like that.... ?

[Gears]

Hmm nevermind... I would need to use * for it to work.

[CSNM-Carl]

Why would you want to do that?

[MACscr]

yes, thats very easy to do, just setup a {if $smarty.get.this}Javascript redirect to this page{/if}

[Gears]

Why would you want to do that?

So the Affiliate can link to a certain page (not just the homepage).

 

 

MACscr, thanks. Think it would be possible to redirect according to what the incoming URL is? For instance, if the incoming URL ended in aff=002 then it would redirect to page1.html, but if the incoming URL ended in aff=005 then it would redirect to page2.html.

 

I have little/no experience with JavaScript. I'll do some Googling for JavaScript redirects.

 

Any other suggestions or comments are welcomed. Thanks again MACscr

Yes, the * page can go wherever you want it to. The * file is unencoded so that you can edit it and change the redirect or set it so that specific affiliates are redirected to different locations than others.

Hye Can you guide where and what to edit in the * file. I have pasted all links for affiliates however when required banner is clicked it shows 404 error with the following * script.
