Loaded Commerce Community

Hello all,

Ok, I have searched the forum and I have been unable to find anything regarding my problem, so I hope that someone can help me.

In the affiliate program, under affiliate banners it has the build a link there. The first problem I have is that you have to know the product number, not the model … is there a way to change this to the model number as that shows on my site?

Second, once I learned how to find the product number and click build link I get a missing image. I thought it was because I didn’t add a banner for that image, but even when I do, I still get that red x image.

Any ideas on what I could be doing or did wrong?

Many thanks to all here, you are awesome!!

Not really, though I think the Affiliate module is a good candidate for most under utilized contribution in Loaded 6.

Have you tried checking the properties on the red X to see where it is looking for the graphics??

Hello David,

Yes I have checked the properties and it shows the same path as the other banners I have added under the affiliate section in admin, however there is no actual image name. It just stops at images/.

Oh well, I'll keep checkin and workin on it.

Thanks

Now, where have I heard that before??

Looks like either a configuration problem -- or a programming bug.

Well, looking at my system it does appear that the banner would be placed loose in the catalog/images directory. Wonder if this is a permissions problem? I'll try to have a look at it tomorrow...

LOL it is probably something that I have done, knowing me. But I do not remember changing anything with the affiliate program outside of turning it off and then on again.

When I uploaded the images all was well and appeared to be successful, but who knows what the computers really read.

Thanks again for help

Sleep well

ok, I have figured out one part of my problem ... instead of linking to a general banner for the build a link I changed it to link to the actual product image by doing the following:

templates/content/affiliate_banners.tpl.php

change



to this





You will also have to change the following twice on the page



to



Now all I have to figure out is how to build a link using the modle number and not the product number, as I mine do not match and I do not want to have my affiliates confused.

Let me think about that one.

Ok, how about this?



and



Which would at least get the model number in the alt text for the image.

You may have to change code elsewhere to assure that products_model is pulled in the database query as needed.
