Referrer script

[FearTheHands]

I am making use of the Referrer Perl Script to track affiliate sites who generate sales from links we provide. I have this working successfully & any orders generated from the link we give them are flagged with the appropriate referrer ID we assign thus:

h-ttp://www.eurocardplayer.net/cgi-bin/rs000001.pl?SOURCE=GamingCorp&DESTINATION=DVD%5fBooks%2ehtml&PATH=%2e%2e%2facatalog%2f&BASEURL=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2eeurocardplayer%2enet%2facatalog%2f

The order is then flagged with the referrer ID when retrieving the order & shows in the 'Misc' tab of the order manager:

Referrer:
GamingCorp

Is there a method of adding this variable to the email template that is used to send out order received/shipped confirmation along with:

Order Number: JYGT000002257
Shipping Method: Second Class Post FREE!

etc ?

Hope that makes sense!

Thanks ...

Hi,

have a look in page 73 of the AUG v7 downloadable here . It has Adding Extra Fields into the Customer Email: General Information fields.

The referrer uses 'User Definable 3' so you can use this

Here is the cut down version for just 'User Definable 3'

------------------------------------------8<------------------------------
Edit OrderScript.pl in 'Notepad'.

Search for 'CUSTOMER_NAME' you will see...

$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('CUSTOMER_NAME',$sName);

After this line, insert the following...
#
# GeneralInfo
#
$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('GENUSERDEF', $::g_GeneralInfo{'USERDEFINED'});

Next, search for 'Build the receipt'. You will see...

################
# Build the receipt
################

After this, insert the following...
#
# GeneralInfo
#
$::s_VariableTable{$::VARPREFIX.'GENUSERDEF'} =
$::g_GeneralInfo{'USERDEFINED'};

Save and exit.
You will now be able to use the following tags in the customer email
template: 'Act_CustomerEmail.txt':
<Actinic:GENUSERDEF/>
------------------------------------------8<------------------------------

That should put the referrer information on the reciept page as 'User
Definable 3'.

Hope this helps,

Kind regards,
