Affiliates System

Ok I fixed the scroll problem (I was adding the numbers in the code not relizing it picked it up from the admin settings for the SP).
But my problem I still am having is how I add the Direction string to the affiliate code for the SP.

I mean do I add this

Code Select Expand

marquee direction="', $modSettings['scrolldirection'],'" scrolldirection="direction=',
To this

Code Select Expand


<marquee scrollamount="', $modSettings['How_Fast_To_Scroll'],'" onmouseover="scrollAmount=', $modSettings['How_Fast_To_Scrollmo'],'" onmouseout="scrollAmount=', $modSettings['How_Fast_To_Scroll'],'">';
And if so how?

[SA™]

replace

Code Select Expand

<marquee scrollamount="', $modSettings['How_Fast_To_Scroll'],'" onmouseover="scrollAmount=', $modSettings['How_Fast_To_Scrollmo'],'" onmouseout="scrollAmount=', $modSettings['How_Fast_To_Scroll'],'">

with

Code Select Expand

<marquee direction="', empty($modSettings['scrolldirection']) ? 'left' : 'right', '" onmouseover="scrollAmount=', $modSettings['How_Fast_To_Scrollmo'],'" onmouseout="scrollAmount=', $modSettings['How_Fast_To_Scroll'],'">

Thanks Works!

One quick question. When you go to others affiliates and it says copy the "code" into your site and it shows the code, where exactly do you put that whole code? I have been just adding it manually all the fields for like Title, Url of banner, Url of link and description.

[SA™]

well tecnicly that code works stand alon like in a html block 


you only realy need the  the linking url cos that what updats the inhits 

[Chit-Chat ChatterBox Boss]

So like this is all(as far as the URLs)?
EXAMPLE
The whole code:

Code Select Expand

<a href="http://sleepy-arcade.ath.cx/sleepy/index.php"><img src="http://sleepy-arcade.ath.cx/sleepy/banner3.gif"  alt="SLEEPY ARCADE" ></a>

This is what you get out of the code.

URL of Banner:

Code Select Expand

http://sleepy-arcade.ath.cx/sleepy/banner3.gif

URL for link:

Code Select Expand

http://sleepy-arcade.ath.cx/index.php

[SA™]

no link us banners are different

gotto your affiliate on my site and click edit [wee man with pencil]


and you will see your code for you to use

the url

http://sleepy-arcade.ath.cx/sleepy/index.php?action=affiliates;sa=in;idaff=171

notice the different ??

click it it will update the database +1 for in hits th redirect to the boardindex

then look at the affiliates amd you will see inhits 1

so bascly where you added the url for my site in your affiliates on your site

replace it with the above url it hard for me to explain lol im trying

[Chit-Chat ChatterBox Boss]

So where exactly do I put this code on my site (I manually added all the info for Add Affiliate)

Code Select Expand

<a href="http://sleepy-arcade.ath.cx/sleepy/index.php?action=affiliates;sa=in;idaff=171"><img src="http://sleepy-arcade.ath.cx/sleepy/banner3.gif" alt="SLEEPY ARCADE" ></a>

Title
URL for link
URL of Banner
Description

[SA™]

 that is a stand alone code to be used for html pages or html portal blocks but seem as your using the affiliates mod you only need the url and the banner to put in the correct feilds

Ok that's what I thought originally. Thanks bro! Great Mod and Great Help!

When ever someone tries to rate a affiliate they get the 404 error:

Method Not Implemented

GET to /index.php not supported.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

[SA™]

is there any thing in the error logs regarding that when i get home ill go do some testing on my other sever see whats causing that

[Chit-Chat ChatterBox Boss]

No I copied over my main sites files and database to the test one. And that is happening thats why I am wondering if it is looking for the smilies images somewhere and it doesn't see it due to the transfer.

[SA™]

huh smilys ? this mod use smilys ? first i knew

have you tryed running repair settings.php?

[Chit-Chat ChatterBox Boss]

  wow I am retarded and when I first asked I was tired and posted in wrong one (I was meaning to ask in Ajaxchat integration) and then I was tired again this morning and just replied  yup I am a moron but I will give that a try.

[SA™]

lol np we all make silly mistack like that one time or another

Sorry if this has already been addressed, but how would I go about displaying all of my affiliate banners in a random order (like on each new page or page refresh). I have used ssi_random_affiliate(); but only get a single banner to show. I have tried several different ways to get it to show a set number of banners like 10 or 12. It's probably a simple answer, but it escapes me.

Thanks in advance.

HI how do I approve an afflitiate? There is no options when i go to my waiting aprovval menu

[SA™]

@ SunKing do you want the ssi_random_affiliate(); to show more than one ?


@ bluesinjid  goto affiliates and click on Waiting Approval

[[unplugged]]

Yes please. I thought it would be something like ssi_random_affiliate(10);  I tried a few different ways and nothing worked.

[SA™]

try ssi.php

find

Code Select Expand

unction ssi_random_affiliate()
{
   global $scripturl, $smcFunc;

$request = $smcFunc['db_query']('', "
SELECT
title, approved, id_affiliates, image
FROM {db_prefix}affiliates
WHERE  approved = 1
ORDER BY RAND()
");

$random = array();
$row = $smcFunc['db_fetch_assoc']($request);
censorText($row['title']);

$random[] = array(
'title' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=affiliates;sa=out;idaff=', $row['id_affiliates'],'">'.$row['title'].'</a>',
);
$smcFunc['db_free_result']($request);

foreach ($random as $affiliate)
echo' <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=affiliates;sa=out;idaff=', $row['id_affiliates'],'"><img src="'.$row['image'].'" width="88" height="31" alt="'.$row['title'].'"></a>';
}

replace with

Code Select Expand

function ssi_random_affiliate()
{
   global $scripturl, $smcFunc;

$request = $smcFunc['db_query']('', "
SELECT
title, approved, id_affiliates, image
FROM {db_prefix}affiliates
WHERE  approved = 1
ORDER BY RAND()
LIMIT 6");

$random = array();
$row = $smcFunc['db_fetch_assoc']($request);
censorText($row['title']);

$random[] = array(
'title' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=affiliates;sa=out;idaff=', $row['id_affiliates'],'">'.$row['title'].'</a>',
);
$smcFunc['db_free_result']($request);

foreach ($random as $affiliate)
echo' <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=affiliates;sa=out;idaff=', $row['id_affiliates'],'"><img src="'.$row['image'].'" width="88" height="31" alt="'.$row['title'].'"></a>';
}

in that code find

LIMIT 6

and chnage the 6 to how many you want
