WP e-Commerce Affiliates Beta

Can’t seem to get it to work…I u/l everything, but no new tabs or settings show up.

Don’t know if I did this right but I installed the affiliate program. I don’t see any indication in the admin area for this module. What should I see?

Well, I’ve downloaded it too. I put in the plugin file with the wp-shopping-cart files and it show in my adim area as Gold Options, but when I click on the link it says:
{Not Found
The requested URL /wordpress/wp-admin/wp-shopping-cart/gold_cart_files/gold_options.php was not found on this server.

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

So my question is what folder should it actually be in?

Ditto as most commenter here… I see no changes. How / where etc. do we install the plugin and find the affliate controls, Dan?

We’ll take a look at this… Allen will have a play and then post some more instructions here. So keep watching this space :)

We have uploaded a new version.

The new set of instructions are as follows:
1/ download the affiliates module
2/ download latest gold cart files
3/ copy the affiliates.php file in the gold_cart_files folder

Your setup should look like this:
wp-content/wp-shopping-cart/gold_cart_files/affiliates.php

Uploaded the new one, but still nothing…I’ll keep an eye on these comments.

Hi,

you think this plugin would be available on http://getshopped.com/ stores?

Thanks,
paco

Hey Dan, I’d love to buy the affiliate module when it’s working. I’m sure you guys could make a bunch of money with this module and it seems like people are interested enough to write about it… Any update on when it might be revamped and get another beta version out here to play w/…? Thanks! :)

I hope you have not given up on creating the affiliate plugin. It is fundamental to a competitive e-commerce solution and I would like to help beta test it to see it through to completion, but from the age of the comments and the problems described it appears to be an the scrap heap… Don’t give up!

Definitely still the wpsc_affiliate_now function, but is this function added to the latest Gold Cart files? I did try a fresh gold cart download, but that function isn’t in any of the files.

The call is to echo it, but what should the function contain? If the echo is commented out, the rest of the page loads for affiliate and settings. But other than setting the commission %, there doesn’t seem to be a way to set up the affiliates.

In a nutshell – your code is calling for another chunk of code when you load the Affiliate page, but that chunk is missing. Updating the Gold files might fix this?

The way you guys wrote this up (link above) it was working – so I would guess that someone just forgot to zip a file or include file somewhere?

Heather (my primary / frequent programmer) thinks she’s isolated the problem (above) and I’m really puzzled by the complete lack of response here from Instinct.

I understand if there are other priorities, but why not answer? At this point, should we just give up and find another solution?

Hi, I got this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wpsc_affiliate_now() in /home/mypremiu/public_html/kreativethemes.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/gold_cart_files/affiliates.php on line 34

LOL, that last comment was hilarious…in all it’s FOBiness…

Um, is this an affiliate program for INSTINCT or for the e-comm site that it’s on? I assume it’s the latter, but comments here seem to think it’s the former.

I’ll take a look at the code as well…

This would be awesome…love Instinct stuff so far…

Fellow WP e-Commerce-rs. I remember checking this post a few months ago — but it looks like doesn’t quite work (at the moment), and I bet the WP e-Commerce team has far more pressing issues to worry about.

Just found this — “WP Affiliate Software Integration with the Instinct’s WP-eCommerce Plugin”: http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-affiliate/wp-affiliate-software-integration-with-the-instincts-wp-ecommerce-plugin-70

Looks very promising, flexible, and relatively easy to implement, so I will be trying it out. Hopefully it works, and in turn helps out the WP e-Commerce team so they can focus on their plans & helps users, so we finally have affiliate functionality. Take care.
