Custom Affiliate URL, Need Affiliate ID

[MikeDVB]

I'm not skilled enough with PHP/Smarty myself so I thought I'd ask.

 

I don't want the whole referral URL but just the Affiliate ID number, we've set up short URLs for our affiliates (http://www.ourdomain.com/012) for affiliate number 012 for example and would like to be able to code it into the template page (affiliates.tpl) to display the short URL as an option.

 

Thanks.

to do something like that you use mod_rewrite to change url/012 to ulr/*?aff=012

[MikeDVB]

Perhaps I wasn't clear.

 

I already have it set up to do that - already had mod_rewrite in the .htaccess before I posted here. I don't need to know how to do that.

 

I need to know how to *inside a WHMCS template* get the current user's affiliate ID number (not the full URL, just the NUMBER itself) so that I can display the custom URL in the template.

I guess nobody knows how to do this, guess I gotta do some digging uggh oh well.

EDIT: Sorry didn't read the last post. Ignore this post

 

 

original url

http://domain.com/*?aff=012

rewritten url

http://domain.com/012

Put this code in your .htaccess in your whmcs root

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /*?aff=$1 [L]

in the affiliate tpl file the smarty variable should be {$affiliateid}

Ok, I'll give it a shot. Thank you.
