Affiliate tool not making code

[jc173]

Hi,

I'm trying to test out the Affiliate tool but the code that the user is supposed to paste into their site isn't outputting to the box. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Also is there a manual for this flavor of oscommerce. The osCDox Guide isn't very complete.

Thanks

Hi,

The only manual curently avaiable is the osCDox guide. As for the affiliate mod, it is working correctly when I test it.

Where in the affiliate section are you having the issue.

If I go to 'Affiliate banners' the code it creates is generated correctly with the affiliate ID. Is this where you are referring to?

What browser are you using?

I'm aproaching it like an affiliate would...I created an affiliate account from the front end and logged in.

Then I click banners and it asks for product number to link to, and I enter the number that I'm assuming is the product number....That is showing up under the title. Then i click the build a link button and the box below is blank.

I've tried it in firefox and ie so far.

Your problem is that you are entering a nonexistant product number.

If the product number does not exist, it will not generate code.

Find the product number by hovering your mouse over the product link. For example:

http://demo.oscmax.com/product_info.php?products_id=70

The product number is 70.

Yes, That solves it. Thank you.
