Affiliate links not being tracked

[bigwave]

Hello,

 

For some reason when you use an affiliate link, it shows that you got a visitor but it never tracks the sale.

 

The * is the original from WHMCS. I had modified it and that's when it stopped working but I have put it back to normal now and it's still not tracking the sales.

 

Please let me know what could be wrong to cause it not to track the sales. I will list the * code below just in case it's something wrong there.

}

// if product id passed in, redirect to order form
if ($pid = $whmcs->get_req_var('pid')) redir("a=add&pid=".(int)$pid,"cart.php");

if ($whmcs->get_req_var('register')) redir("","register.php");

// if gocart = true, redirect to cart with request params
if ($whmcs->get_req_var('gocart')) {
   $reqvars = '';
   foreach ($_GET AS $k=>$v) $reqvars .= $k.'='.urlencode($v).'&';
   redir($reqvars,"cart.php");
}

// perform redirect

header("Location: ".$whmcs->get_config('Domain'),true,301);

Hi,

First please ensure the order contains a product and said product does not have a custom commission rate set to 0.00.

 

When attempting to test this, please ensure you are logged out of the admin area and the client area. Make sire the order is not being made under the affiliate's account.

WHMCS has measures in place to prevent self-referrals and you might be accidentally falling foul of these in your tests.
