Adrecord affiliates for WHMCS or linking to external site after payment

[denully]

Does anyone have any experience in using adrecord ( http://adrecord.com/ ) with sales through WHMCS ?

 

or if its possible to link to a website outside of whmcs when a payment is complete?

 

The problem i'm facing is that i need to put in a tracking code on the "payment complete" page, so adrecord is able to record once an order has been completed, which has come through them. But it seems no matter where i place it in WHMCS, it doesn't work.

something like what in this post may help you or give you an idea http://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.php?97774-WHMCS-Module-with-Code-Only&p=407974#post407974

very helpful indeed.

however it seems to be failing if i try to place a javascript in there, which adrecord has provided me.

 

<script type="text/javascript">
(function() {
adrecord = {
'programID': ZZZZZZ,
'orderID': 'XXXXXX',
'orderValue': YYYYYY,
'couponCode': ''
}
var e=document.createElement('script');
e.src=document.location.protocol + '//track.adrecord.com/track.js';
var s=document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]; s.appendChild(e);
})();
</script>

 

thats what i needed in there and i place it as below. ( XXX YYY ZZZ is just me covering some date )

 

<?php
function hook_insideInvoice($vars){
   # Place Your Code In This Variable
   $myCode = "<script type="text/javascript">
(function() {
adrecord = {
'programID': ZZZZZZ,
'orderID': 'XXXXXX',
'orderValue': YYYYYY,
'couponCode': ''
}
var e=document.createElement('script');
e.src=document.location.protocol + '//track.adrecord.com/track.js';
var s=document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]; s.appendChild(e);
})();
</script>";

   if ($vars['filename']=="viewinvoice"){
       if (isset($vars['status']) && $vars['status']=="Paid"){
           return array("mycodepaidinvoice" => $myCode);
       }
   }
}
add_hook("ClientAreaPage", 1, "hook_insideInvoice");
?>

inside the variable $myCode, you may use single quotation like this (') instead of double ("), or simply add backslash before each (") inside this code to parse it correctly like this (<script type=\"text/javascript\">)

That worked

I appreciate your help here and hate to ask you even more, but when a payment is done the invoice still state unpaid due to the paypal IPN delay there is sometimes. ( have been fighting a year with paypal on this matter ).

would you know if there is a way to make the code you wrote if (isset($vars['status']) && $vars['status']=="Paid"){ work for registering if the invoice states paymentsuccess=true in the link or Thank You! Your payment was successful. on the invoice ? that way i could bypass the IPN issue.

i think this will help you better, inside any order templates there is a place to add the conversion tracking code, for example open this template file: "templates/orderforms/cart/complete.tpl" you will find this part almost at the end

{if $ispaid}
<!-- Enter any HTML code which needs to be displayed once a user has completed the checkout of their order here - for example conversion tracking and affiliate tracking scripts -->
{/if}

 

add your tracking code inside the IF Statement and in each Cart Template (templatename/complete.tpl)

 

----------------

or you can do the following and it'll be more easy and stable:

Modify hook action to work like that:

<?php 
function hook_insideInvoice($vars){ 
   # Place Your Code In This Variable 
   $myCode = "<script type='text/javascript'> 
(function() { 
adrecord = { 
'programID': ZZZZZZ, 
'orderID': 'XXXXXX', 
'orderValue': YYYYYY, 
'couponCode': '' 
} 
var e=document.createElement('script'); 
e.src=document.location.protocol + '//track.adrecord.com/track.js'; 
var s=document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]; s.appendChild(e); 
})(); 
</script>"; 

return $myCode;
} 
add_hook("ShoppingCartCheckoutCompletePage", 1, "hook_insideInvoice"); 
?>

this will output your tracking code inside Order Completed page without the need to modify each template also whenever you update your system..
