Hello,

We need to track who refers users to our site and I am trying to use Affiliate Feature.

What I've done:

  1. I've created a new vendor
  2. Created a new affiliate (without creating any banners)
  3. Set a start and end date for campaign
  4. Update the whole thing.
  5. Sen a notification email which send an URL like http://www.mysite.com/default.aspx?AffiliateId=1

So fare every thing seems to be good...

But when using the provided link the clickthorugh are not registered by the system.

What am I missing? Does anyone have this feature working?

If not, what alternative solution are you using?

Thank you for your support.

I've got the same situation...

I can see how to handle it in the background by updating the Users Table with their AffiliateID (one of the fields) but I don't see how the current code manages it for you or if you want to access it as a Token like [User:AffiliateID] is it available? When I tried to display the value in the Welcome bannor I get an error like this..."Error accessing [User:AffiliateID], access to AffiliateID is restricted for datasource User."

I'm new to DNN and this is how I plan to display info pertinent to specific Affiliates' data.

Any help would be appreciated... before I use it incorrectly to make it work for us...

Bob

Hi Bob, I two am working to get the DNN Affiliate tracking working. I have been drilling into DNN 4.8 and can not find how the Users AffiliateID is set. Once it is set the Default.aspx.vb file has the code that manages the Affiliate clickthrough.

In order to simplify setting the AffiliateID I modified the dbo.dnn_AddUser stored procedure in SQL to determine how many users there are in the database just prior to creating the new user and then setting the AffiliateID the same number as the UserID as the account in being created. See code below:

IF @UserID is null          /****** Original line in the stored procedure
 BEGIN                              /****** Original line in the stored procedure

                                           /****** Added The next three lines after the BEGIN  ******/
                                           /****** to set the Affiliate ID to be the same as   ******/
                                           /****** the User ID.         ******/
  
                                         DECLARE @UserCount int                                                                              /****** New - Added This Line   ******/
                                         Set @UserCount = (SELECT Count(UserID) From dbo.dnn_Users)      /****** New - Added This Line   ******/ 
                                         Set @AffiliateId = @UserCount + 1                                                                 /****** New - Added This Line   ******/

I how ever want to track when an affiliate refers someone who signs up on my site as well as when some purchases an item from my store so as to be able to pay the referring affiliate. This functionalitity does not seem to be in the product and I am lookikg at developing my own User Affiliate marketing module.

Hope this helps......................kyle

Hi Bob, the update to the dbo.dnn_AddUser stored procedure works but after investigating the Manage Affiliate code in the default.aspx.vb file it only works to manage the Vendor and Affiliates in the banner marketing portion of DNN. Since this is not the functionality I am looking for I think I will write my own Affiliate Marketing module and HTTP handler to handle request.

It seems to me that the cart was put before the horse. In order to sell banner Ad's you need traffic and one way to gain visitor's and traffic is through User Affiliate Marketing where you pay someone for sending clients to your site.
