hackia Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Im having trouble with the affiliate software. Im trying to get it to work... First Problem (solved) front stats for affilaite /modules/trackingfront/stats.php i was getting a 404 error. Solution: Make the module folder= module/trackingfront/ change premission to 777. 2nd Problem: I created a new affiliate and make the url include = ?referrerID=1 then i tested it by going to mydomain.com/?referrerID=1 and it wont track it and i tried to even do it from http referrer = subdomain.mydomain.com and then i went and made a link on subdomain and clicked on it.. and still it wont track it, stills shows 0, tried refreshing cache and index buttons... nothing works so far? anyone get this to work?

cutecat Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 i had tried also it isn't working I had tried %google% this works. funny, the rest of the domains do not work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kg4geq Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I use it and it works fine. Under technical help - Simple mode section -> HTTP Refferrer -> Include: %domainyouwanttotrack.com%, then under Cache, click the button "Refresh Cache". I do NOT save direct traffic either. I use this everyday for multiple affiliate referrers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use this everyday for multiple affiliate referrers. i had tried another way to test it. refer from another website of mine, click in bookmark exit page open with bookmark purchased the item tracking a few website including google. refresh referrers all the website that i am tracking has the sales!!! if I have like hundreds of referrers and this happens, I would need to pay to each referrers!!! this can't be happening! this is only good for tracking and not good for paying out to affiliate!

kg4geq Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I have multiple affiliates and it correctly tracks, "Vistors", "Visits", "Registrations" and "Sales" for each individual website/affiliate. It will also retroactively track visits. So, for example, say you know someone from 'somedomain.com' clicked on a link on 'somedomain.com' to visit your site. if you add 'somedomain.com' by clicking ADD NEW and put %somedomain.com% in the INCLUDE field in the HTTP REFFERER section and of course give this an affiliate name and click SAVE. Leave all the other fields blank other than password if you want to password protect it. Then on the referrers page menu in the BO, click MONTH and REFRESH CACHE and you should see your stats update correctly. This is assuming you are sure someone from 'somedomain.com' visited your site from a link on their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kg4geq Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 No, mine does not give credit to all sites...only the correct referring site. I've attached 2 screenshots to show my data from July 2013. The first shows correct referrals for distinct referrals and not all sites. The second screen shot shows the settings...only one field needs to be filled out. in that example: %site1.com% http://postimg.org/image/3v7zsjwu1/ http://postimg.org/image/n7o9ltxjl/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutecat Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 but can you try to purchase an item from your website and see? i didn't clear my cookies in my firefox, maybe it is because i have went to all these site before, and it captured all the data for each website I have entered in as referrers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kg4geq Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) It's not dependent on if you visited sites, it's dependent on if you clicked a referring link to your site from another site. So, if you clicked on a referring site's link to your site and made a purchase, it should only show up on the 1 specific site that you clicked the link from. No, I'm not making purchases on my site. I know it works. I provided screen shots showing it works correctly. If you've had any sales on your site and know if they arrived to your site by clicking a link on another site, you can add those referring sites and click the "refresh cache" button and it will populate those referring visits. If someone came as a direct visit, nothing is going to show up in the affiliate referrer section. But, if they had ever visited your site previously by clicking a link from a referrer and then come as DIRECT visit (ie, type your website name in the browser), it WILL give credit to the referrer. if you would like to do a test, please PM your store's site. I will create a link on my store's site to yours. Add my store as an affiliate. I will then click the link from my site and visit your store and it should immediately appear that you had a VISIT from my store affilliate link.

kg4geq Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I understand you are saying all sites are showing statistics from "you" making the purchase and not just one site. This is not correct, so there is an error somewhere. Either, in how you have the referrers configured or in the module. Double check your setup, possibly provide screenshots as I did showing your configuration settings. If you have another domain, setup a link to your PS store from that domain and setup that domain as an affilliate referrer and check to see that is properly giving the singular domain credit. If you don't have multiple domains, PM me your store and I'll help you test the affilliates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kg4geq Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) You're last post is the key. It looks like your problem is just the "ORDERS" column is incorrectly calculating the sale from your purchase to every affiliate. A picture truly is worth a thousand words Can you post the Affiliate settings for one of those referrers? I actually just noticed, it didn't give credit to ALL the referrers. There were 4 that it did not. I would guess that the 4 that did not get the credit for the sale in your "after" picture are setup correctly.
