promo section help

[TightTeela]

hey guys, getting back to work now that xmas is done, i'm trying to make my webmaster/affiliate section better, totally new to php, and i use dreamweaver for everything else. so bear with me, but if you can help i would appreciate it, the goal right now is to get a page so i can set up fhg's. my main sign up page is here http://www.tightteela.com/webmasters.html its a work in progress and i want it to link to here http://tightteela.com/webmasterlogin.php so that people can log in to get their promo content. what i dont know is when someone logs in, where would that page be? and i'm hoping i can just make a page listing all the fhg's for the time being

If I understand you correctly (it's a bit early and only on my first cup of coffee) , the page you have shown webmasterlogin.php is on the root of your domain giving the url you used.

ok so trying to common sense it, if i put the page with the fhg's in the same section as that page, it should work? i was thinking for some reason there should be more to it tho. maybe not.

The page with the fhg's will work wherever you put it. It's the link to it that you will have to get right. For example...

If you put the page freehostedgalleries.php in your root domain.com, then when you link to it you would use a link like http://www.domain.com/freehostedgalleries.php.

If you put the freehostedgalleries.php in a folder off your root like domain.com/folder then you would have to use a link like http://www.domain.com/folder/freehostedgalleries.php.

I think that is what you were asking...

There is another way of linking without using all the http://www.domain.com/ but I don't want to confuse you.

Hope this helps.

Teela I only have one cup of coffee in me, so everything is a little fuzzy still. is this what your looking for:
<a href="http://tightteela.com/webmasters.html" title="Tight Teela's Affiliates Promotions Page">Affiliates Grabe Your Banners, Photos And Galleries Here</a>

I am thinking that she is wanting to password protect her promos. Should that be the case she need to place them in a separate directory as suggested by LowryBigwood:

i dont worry about password protecting the promos as much as im worried that the affiliates will be getting the right codes for their fhg's. anyways thanks guys, ill dick with it today/tonight and see if i can get a better handle on it.

[juggernaut]

Is this what you are looking for?

[TightTeela]

awesome juggernaut, thanks, going to read that now

[TightTeela]

ok guys im stuck again, followed those instructions, so if im starting here http://www.tightteela.com/promo/webmasterlogin.php , i can login , but it takes me to http://www.tightteela.com/login.php , i checked my code and it should be pointing to here http://www.tightteela.com/promo/galleries.php , if you can help me out, thanks alot.

edit, sorry put in the wrong url

[TightTeela]

ok, looks like its working.

[TightTeela]

hopefully your following along, sorry for the rookie questions but here's where im at now.

i'm starting here http://www.tightteela.com/promo/webmasterlogin.php , logging in takes me to here http://www.tightteela.com/promo/galleries.php and if i click the gallery i get http://www.tightteela.com/promo/fhgsample01.php , it appears to be working except for the affiliate code, so where am i putting in the <?php
$id = $_GET['id'];
?>
and does the rest seem right to you?

[juggernaut]

Contact Toby as he is the one who posted that code and I'm sure can help you better. I looked over you code and don't see the

<a href="http://refer.ccbill.com/cgi-bin/clicks.cgi?CA=923596-0002&PA=<?= $_GET['aff'] ?>">

anyplace. I wish I could give you more help but I'm sure Toby can.

[Toby]

Within hosted gallery page code:

PHP Code:

<a href="http://refer.ccbill.com/cgi-bin/clicks.cgi?CA=932951-0000&PA=<?= $_GET['id'] ?>"

Your hosted gallery links would then look like:
http://www.tightteela.com/promo/fhgs...php?id=1234567

The short snip of PHP code grabs the value for id from the URL and inserts it into the link.

[Chop Smith]

It does not look like the affiliate code is being transferred from the login page to gallery listing page.

[TightTeela]

yeah im pretty sure that <a href="http://refer.ccbill.com/cgi-bin/clicks.cgi?CA=932951-0000&PA=<?= $_GET['id'] ?>" is in the gallery itself, thats why im confused as to why its not generating the right link code, i'll double check on this, but maybe im overlooking something else? toby?

[T Pat]

are you missing a ">" at the end
<a href="http://refer.ccbill.com/cgi-bin/clicks.cgi?CA=932951-0000&PA=<?= $_GET['id'] ?>">

[TightTeela]

heh this is where i say 'arrrggggh' and go for a smoke, thanks for the help so far

Nice catch Pat, yes indeed there should be another > after the last quote in my previous post.

[Toby]

I see the problem. You used <?= $_GET['aff'] ?> in the page coding so the gallery link needs to be http://www.tightteela.com/promo/fhgsample01.php?aff=1234567

It works fine now, the part in red is just a variable name. It can be most anything you want, it just has to be the same in the page code and the gallery link.

[TightTeela]

<a href="http://refer.ccbill.com/cgi-bin/clicks.cgi?CA=932951-0000&PA=<?= $_GET['aff'] ?>"> this is what i have put in the fhg where the link code would normally be

[TightTeela]

so add </b>= to the end of the gallery url?

[Chop Smith]

<a href="http://refer.ccbill.com/cgi-bin/clicks.cgi?CA=932951-0000&PA=<?= $_GET['id'] ?>">

I tested it here: http://www.choponthelake.com/teela/f...php?id=1234567

[TightTeela]

laugh chops, that looks like what i got. ok sorry guys, taking a time out and i'll come back to it in a bit.

[juggernaut]

I would contact ccbill. I tried to test this for you and do some debuging. But I can't log on. I tried to log on the ccbill afil section of ccbills website also but it wont allow me. It keeps bringing me back to the log on page like it should when there is a problem. But when I go to reset the password, It's telling me affilate ID does not match my email. Which is funny cause it's the email addy I received the confirmation from and it's listed in the confirmation. When I type in my affil ID to log on, it tells me
---
Invalid Affiliate ID The Affiliate ID does not exist. Hit your BACK button and enter a valid, existing ID, or create a new ID.

So I would be on the phone asap..
