Affiliate Window massive problem

[Gavin]

Hi we have been running affiliate window for a few months with no bother then out of the blue it decided it wouldnt work again. Now actinic suppost say it's never supported .php to export order detail to but affiliate window said its the way its always been.


Basically here's the problem

This is what is coming up

<!-- Receipt HTML end -->
<!-- affilaite window code -->
<img src="http://www.awin1.com/sale.php?sale=27%2e66%20%2f%2039%2e83&extra=TT617D10002385&type=s&mid=838">

This is what I need to come up

<!-- Receipt HTML end -->
<!-- affilaite window code -->
<img src="http://www.awin1.com/sale.php?sale=27.66=TT617D10002385&type=s&mid=838">

The code I'm using is in order phase 1 is;

<!-- Receipt HTML end -->
<!-- affilaite window code -->
<img src="http://www.awin1.com/sale.php?sale=NETQUOTEVAR:NUMERICORDERTOTALCGI&extra=NETQUOTEVAR:THEORDERNUMBER&type=s&mid=838">

any ideas? any one else had problems like these? It's driving me barmy

Hi - are you sure you have the code in order phase 1 as it should be in Act_Order04.html

The code I'm using is in order phase 1 is;

I use html pages and the code I use is:

<img src="http://www.awin1.com/sale.php?sale=NETQUOTEVAR:NUMERICORDERTOTALCGI&extra=NETQUOTEVAR:THEORDERNUMBER&type=s&mid=xxx">

[Gavin]

So the code is needed to be in phase 1 of the cart as well?

Act_Order01.html?

Sorry I may be being thick as but the boss is down the lug hole and not thinking straight

[skinnybloke]

No it should be in Act_Order04 only. You said in your first post that you had put it in phase 1.

[Gavin]

Ah yes so I did sorry, No its only in phase 4

When I phoned actinics they said because I had euro's and pounds displayed was the fault but that justs seems bizarre it'd stop working

[skinnybloke]

Well your code looks ok to me so Actinic must be right in what they are saying. How you get around this one I do not know.

If you have got the skills you may be able to write a bit of JavaScript that will strip out the characters %20%2f% and anything after it.

[Gavin]

Can I ask which version of actinics you are running to try and tally their comments

version I'm running
7.0.6.0.0.0.GBGA

Hi Gavin

7.0.5.0.0.0.FJBA

[Gavin]

Right after much hassle I've now downgraded to

7.0.5.1.0.0.FJBA

And shock horror it's still not working

It's like going round in circles

I think the problem here is that you are displaying prices in two currencies - and Actinic trying to pass the dual-currency value to the affiliate scheme.

The value that Actinic is passing is:

27.66 / 39.83

It's not the fact that the decimal points etc. are encoded that's causing the problem - it's the fact you are also showing prices in Euros. I am going to ask the development team whether there is any way to leave off the Euro value when using NETQUOTEVAR:NUMERICORDERTOTALCGI

[cdicken]

OK - it looks like this Perl change is not possible. Sorry about that.

If you use NUMERICORDERTOTAL rather than NUMERICORDERTOTALCGI you will see the numerical value with '.' rather than '%2e' so you can see the problem more clearly.

One suggestion is to not use the second currency option within Actinic, and instead use the alternative multi-currency code in http://knowledge.actinic.com/acatalo...ls.html#aKB390

This will mean your affiliate code will start working again.

Hi there

We have actually found a solution for this for 7.0.5 and 7.0.6 scripts.

Please click here for: 7.0.5 Script Change

Please click here for: 7.0.6 Script Change

Inside the zip file you will find two perl files. Please put them into your site folder and update the site.

Kind Regards
