affiliate links and cookies?

[mnymkr]

will the affiliate link drop the cookie if you direct it to any page in WHMCS , for instance the product page or can it only be the home / front page?

 

Is this a fairly easy affiliate system to use?

The affiliate link only goes to your homepage.

Yes it will.

 

The affiliate link when it is clicked goes to http://yourdomain.com/*

This sets the cookie on the users (clickers) computer then sets the header to permanently redirect to the home page by default. The redirection can be set to any page you want. You can also change the amount of time the cookie is set for.

 

Just edit *

eg.

If you want to redirect straight to you order page change the last line to

 

header("Location: ".$CONFIG["Domain"]."/cart.php");

 

(Don't forget the full stop)

I need to be able to link direct to a product for a specific affiliate.

 

I'd like all affiliate links to go to my home page, but I have create a branded splash page for one of my affiliates. When people he sends to the splash page clicks SIGN-UP I would like it to add the following product http://interactiveonline.com/billing/cart.php?a=add&pid=77 to the cart with his affiliate ID.

 

According to the posts I have found on this forum, this doesn't appear to be possible yet. Correct?

 

I figured out how to accomplish this. I created a new * file and named it aff-youjoomla.php. I then added the following to the file:

 

header("Location: ".$CONFIG["Domain"]."/billing/cart.php?a=add&pid=77");

 

I then gave the new affiliate link to my affiliate:

http://interactiveonline.com/billing/aff-youjoomla.php?aff=058

 

Using that affiliate code takes this specific affiliate link to the specific product in WHMCS. I tested it and it works

What page would I edit to do something like this and add my Links for my Affilates on the page? http://tshosting.com.au/affiliate.php

You would create a new php file and add your content with a link to the registration page
