[solved] Tracking pixel implementation

[juxtro]

Hello,

I'm trying to implement a tracking pixel from an affiliate marketing network in my shop which runs Prestashop 1.5.

They've asked me to insert the following code on order-confirmation.tpl page:

<img src="http://www.affiliatenetwork.com/tracking/3/237/ANY_UNIQUE_COMBINATION_THAT_IDENTIFIES_AN_ORDER/ORDER_AMOUNT/CART_SUMMARY" width="1" height="1">

When i used PS 1.4 i've replaced "any unique combination that identifies an order" with {$id_order} and "order amount" with {$orderTotal} and it worked fine so I've inserted the code in the seme form:

<img

src="http://www.affiliatenetwork.com/tracking/3/237/{$id_order}/{$orderTotal}/"

width="1" height="1">

 

After a test order was made, they've told me that the code isn't installed correctly and they can't see the order total in their system, probably because on order-confirmation.tpl page isn't shown the amount of the order so they asked me to insert the following code to /override/controllers/OrderConfirmationController.php:

<?php

class OrderConfirmationController extends OrderConfirmationControllerCore

{

public function displayContent()

{

global $cart;

 

self::$smarty->assign('orderTotal', ($cart->getOrderTotal() / 1.24) - $cart->getOrderShippingCost());

 

parent::displayContent();

}

}

This code is made for PS 1.4 and i don't know to much about programming so please tell me how should the tracking pixel look like and what code should i insert, and where, on orderconfirmationcontroler.php to make it work.

 

Thank you

I've put this code on orderconfirmationcontroller.tpl:

	    $order = new Order($this->id_order);
	    $cart = new Cart($order->id_cart);
	    $description="";
	    foreach ($cart->getProducts() AS $k=>$v){
			    $description.=$v['name']."X".$v['quantity'];
	    }	 
	    $description=urlencode($description);

	    $this->context->smarty->assign(array(
	    'total_products'=>$order->total_products_wt,
	    'description'=>$description
	    ));

and inserted this tracking code on order-confirmation.tpl

<iframe frameborder="0" width="1" height="1" src="http://www.affiliatenetwork.com/tracking/2/237/{Tools::getvalue('id_order')}/{$total_to_pay}/{$description}"></iframe>

They've tested it and said the lead is being registered but no commision is generated because on the page source isn't any price representing the total amount of the order.

 

Can you please verify if i've made the correct settings?

[vekia]

you're talking about {$total_to_pay} variable?

 

you want to use:

- total products value without tax ?

- total products value with tax ?

- total products value without tax + delivery ?

- total products value with tax + delivery ?

[juxtro]

I want to use total products with tax but without delivery

[vekia]

so, use {$total_products} variable instead the {$total_to_pay}

[juxtro]

thank you for your prompt answer. I've asked them to retest it and i'll post here the result as soon as i'll have it.

Hello,

The tracking code is installed correctly now but they asked to show price without tax. what should i write instead of {$total_products}?

Also, should i change the code implemented on orderconfirmationcontroller.tpl? Right now it's

'total_products'=>$order->total_products_wt,

Thanks

[vekia]

so if you have to use product total value but without tax - use {$total_products} variable

 

it's defined in the php code:

$this->context->smarty->assign(array(
			   'total_products'=>$order->total_products,
				'description'=>$description
				));

[juxtro]

I've looked on the other topic which you recomended and saw this

so use the:

'total_products'=>$order->total_products,

 

or with tax included:

'total_products'=>$order->total_products_wt,

 

If i want the tracking pixel to register prices without tax i should use the first variable?

[vekia]

omg that's right it was my mistake, yes definitely, use first variable!

i corrected my post above.

[juxtro]

Thank you vekia!

Facebook Conversion Code for Page Views Pixel.

 

Where are you suppose to paste this code? At the bottom of themes/default-bootstrap/guest-tracking.tpl maybe?

 

Thanks in advance!
