Terms of Use
AffiliateClick is the first completely free affiliate software product
made available on the Internet. It may be free, but you must comply to
certain terms for any use of this software, commercial or otherwise to
be legal.
A) You MUST keep the links back to cosmicperl.com, cosmicscripts.com and
allaffiliatepro.com that appear on most of the pages. Removal or attempts
to hide these links will result in your use of the software becoming illegal.
B) You MUST NOT re-distribute any of this program in whole or in part
for free or for payment without prior consent from CosmicPerl.com
C) You MUST NOT use this software for any illegal sites, or activities.
D) You MUST ensure your affiliate program is tracking properly before

2. Installation Instructions
Some files
need to be opened and modified. To start with, make sure the first line
of the file (if it's a script) points to the location of perl on your
server. This is usually:
#!usr/bin/perl
or #!usr/local/bin/perl. (Make sure you point to perl ver5+)
By default this is #!usr/bin/perl if your path to perl is different you
need to change this in each .cgi file.

All files
from the zip file bar join.html, index.html, p3p.xml, policy.p3p, privacypolicy.html
and login.html should be uploaded into a sub-folder of your cgi-bin (we
recommend a folder named 'affiliate').
ALL FILES, BAR ANY PICTURE FILES, SHOULD BE UPLOADED IN ASCII.
You also need to create the data folder and the payday folder, such as
'data' and 'payday'.
The files join.html, index.html, policy.p3p, privacypolicy.html and login.html
need to be uploaded to a folder of your choice outside
your cgi-bin (we recommend a folder named 'affiliate'). This is because
.html files cannot be viewed inside the cgi-bin. The other .html files
must stay in the cgi-bin as they are displayed in through the scripts.
The file p3p.xml must be uploaded to a folder named 'w3c', such as 'www.yourdomain.com/w3c/p3p.xml'.
If you already have a p3p.xml file, then it must be modified as directed
the the template editing section below.

Template editing
You
can edit the template files using a WYSIWYG HTML editor such as DreamWeaver
or AceExpert. You can also edit this file as Raw HTML using a text editor.
NOTE:- FrontPage and other editors change the layout of the HTML, this
causes serious problems with templates. If you are using FrontPage then
please edit Raw HTML.
About
the ::symbols::
The
symbols such as ::name:: and ::company:: are very important. Our software
replaces these symbols with data relating to the customer inquiry. When
editing the template do NOT remove these symbols.
TIP:-
It is often best to try out this program first with the default templates.
This should give you a better idea of where the templates are displayed
when you are editing them.
Below
is a list of the templates, their symbols with what they represent and
other parts that need changing.
INDEX.HTML
- This is the template used for your affiliate main page where they can

<form action="/cgi-bin/affiliate/join.cgi?want=stage1" method="POST">
Depending on where you have installed the scripts.
You
may also want to remove one of the commission type options if you are
offering only a commission or only a flat program. You MUST NOT remove
the type field completely. You may replace the selection box with a hidden
field such as:-
<input type="hidden" name="type" value="comm">
You
may want to use the extra fields. You can use any of these 4 fields to
collect the extra information you require. Simply change the HTML text
next to the extra field input box. The name of the text box must remain
as extrafield1, etc.

P3P.XML
- This is the xml file used to direct to your compact privacy policy.
You need to adjust the POLICY-REF to point to the compact privacy policy
on your server.
<POLICY-REF about="http://www.cosmicperl.com/ace/cgi-bin/policy.p3p#AffiliateClickCookieTracking">
And will need to be changed to something like:-
<POLICY-REF about="http://www.yourserver.com/affiliate/policy.p3p#AffiliateClickCookieTracking">
Depending on where you uploaded the policy file.
If you already
have a p3p.xml policy reference file, then you need to update it to include
this new policy for the affiliate tracking folder. An example of a reference
file pointing to multiple policies is:-
<META xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2002/01/P3Pv1">
<POLICY-REFERENCES>
<POLICY-REF about="http://www.yourdomain.com/privacy/mainpolicy.p3p#MainPrivacyPolicy">
<INCLUDE>/</INCLUDE>
<EXCLUDE>/cgi-bin/affiliate</EXCLUDE>
<COOKIE-INCLUDE/>
</POLICY-REF>
<POLICY-REF about="http://www.yourdomain.com/affiliate/policy.p3p#AffiliateClickCookieTracking">
<INCLUDE>/cgi-bin/affiliate</INCLUDE>
<COOKIE-INCLUDE/>
</POLICY-REF>
</POLICY-REFERENCES>
</META>
POLICY.P3P
- This is the compact privacy policy.
You need to adjust the discuri to point to the privacy policy html file
on your server.
discuri="http://www.cosmicperl.com/ace/cgi-bin/privacypolicy.html"
And will need to be changed to something like:-
discuri="http://www.yourserver.com/affiliate/privacypolicy.html"
Depending on where you uploaded the policy html file.
PRIVACYPOLICY.HTML
- This is the privacy policy html file.
There is no real need to edit this file. If you do so be careful not to
corrupt the information it contains.
Everything
should now be setup and ready to go. You just need to integrate to track
sales and test the system.
4.
Integration
There are 2 methods of integration. These methods work with different
credit card processors and systems. These methods are based on GET being
used with a 1x1 img tag and POST being used with post back.
Most systems
use the GET method. This involves adding a 1x1 img tag to your order complete
or thankyou page. Such as:-
<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/affiliate/affiliate2.cgi?id=ORDERID&amount=ORDERAMOUNT&enc=SALETRACKPASSWORD"
height=1 width=1 border=0>
ORDERID must be swapped for your shopping carts or card processors order
id symbol that will be swapped for the actual value when a sale goes through.
ORDERAMOUNT must be swapped for your shopping carts or card processors
order amount symbol that will be swapped for the actual value when a sale
goes through. SALETRACKPASSWORD must be swapped for the value of your
$saletrackpassword variable.
Some systems
use the POST method. This is where your card processor or shopping cart
posts back to a script on your server after a sale. This post includes
information such as the order ID and amount. To use the sales tracking
password feature you will need to use a passthrough variable with your
cart/processors post back system. You must set the $postprice, $postid
and $postsent variables to the names of the associated post back fields.
If $postsent is empty the password will be picked up from the query string
&enc=.
We have started
a page where people can list the integration methods for the various card
processors and shopping carts. You can post a request in the bbs there,
and contribute your own findings. Visit:-
http://www.cosmicperl.com/support/affiliateintegration.html
Secure
tracking notes:- Some times secure tracking is required. This
involves setting up click.cgi and click2.cgi on a secure server along
with the securedomain.com/w3c/p3p.xml compact privacy policy file and
cosmic.pm. If you do not have access to a secure server, or have access
to one that is not willing to upload p3p.xml to the /w3c folder then we
can provide you with a secure installation of click.cgi and click2.cgi
from cosmicsecure.com. Contact us for details.
5.
Testing the system is working
You MUST check that the cookies are being set properly
and the sales are being recorded before you launch your program. Failure
to do so will be a breach of the terms of use and may well result in legal
action against you.
For the management
area to be available and for the password encryption to work properly
you must first run admingen.cgi. This will automatically test your servers
encryption type and set your password.
First check
the signup is working by following through the join forms. Then login
as the affiliate and test the affiliate link. After following the affiliate
link, check your cookies to see that the cookie named AFFILIATE has been
set for your domain. Then proceed to place an order. Log back in as the
affiliate and check your stats. If the sales was recorded and commission
rewarded you are good to go. Otherwise check the file error.log. This
file contains any errors recorded by affiliate2.cgi, if no errors have
been recorded then the tracking script has not been called so your integration
must be checked. This may well mean the URL to affiliate2.cgi is wrong.
The errors in the error.log should direct you to where the problem lies
so that you may fix it.
6.
Trouble shooting
As this script is free we do not offer free support on this product. You
may purchase support, installation or integration from us on our site.
We also provide a free support forum where you may be able to get the
help you need fro other AffiliateClick users.
7.
BUG report
If you find any bugs, glitches or problems then please contact me at:
bugs@cosmicperl.com
with the subject "AffiliateClick bug report".
8.
Getting rid of the 'CosmicPerl.com', 'AllAffiliatePro.com' and 'CosmicScripts.com'
links
On some of the pages there are mandatory links to our sites. Keeping these
links is a part of the terms of use of this software package. Removal
of these links is illegal. If you want an unbranded affiliate program
with many more features and functionality then upgrade to AllAffiliatePro
available at AllAffiliatePro.com
9.
Using this script
Link to the index.html page so that affiliates can join and login. To
access the management area run manager.cgi?want=admin. To do this you
will first need to run admingen.cgi to generate your username and password.
From the management area you can run reports on affiliate earnings, edit
affiliate info, remove affiliates, check affiliate orders, remove orders,
email your affiliates and generate a payperiod. You can also update your
login password.
When running
your affiliate program you must ensure you are tracking sales correctly.
When it comes time to generate a pay period do a backup of the data folder
first. Generate a pay period ONLY after the month has ended. Pay periods
are generated up to, but not including the current month. Make sure you
pay your affiliates in a timely manner. Before generating any pay period
always check the tracked order id's to make sure no fraudulent orders
have been put through.
