I could make it so that no original files are edited if they put a hook in the right place (in the payment and payment_gateway files).

Currently, there are no hooks, but I think there is a place around here where I can request hooks for new upgrades so I will do that.

fantastic work I can't wait to try this.
Thanks a "vb_mp"

No probs :). Let me know how you go. It's currently live and counting commissions for my affiliates on my site.

Hey vb_mp have you tested this out with some of your members already getting recorded commissions? If so then you're the best person ever because I've been looking for a paid subscription affiliate system for a very very long time.

Yea I have tested it - it is currently working and functional on my forum ( link is above in the original post ). People are spreading the affiliate link around and commissions are being generated on subscription purchases.

The things to note - according to iDevAffiliate they will be releasing a new release that will enable deletion of commissions on payment reversal... currently when a payment is reversed (for example on a refund) you have to manually cancel the subscription in iDevAffiliate... this is not a vBulletin problem though, rather a iDevAffiliate deficiency.

The guys from iDevAffiliate have promised that this payment reversal curl target url will be released in new upgrade, once that's there I will add it to this mod.

Great Thank You!!...I just wanted to be sure before I purchased the software. I know it may be a little off topic, but how do you like the affiliate software?

Also if I have people on recurring billing can I have it work with recurring commissions?

Thanks a lot!!
Jason

I like iDevAffiliate, easy to install, works well.

Paypal recurring commissions (I have them on my forum) are treated as individual payments each month - it works quite well.

User signs up - iDevAffiliate records payment information, affiliate gets commission. Next month, PayPal triggers IPN on recurring payment, idevaffiliate checks payment info and credits affiliate with another commission - and so on.

iDevAffiliate has some internal recurring commissions setup - make sure you ignore that - it's some manual recurring commissions crap.

Also, once you install iDevAffiliate, make sure you download this patch that fixes a bug of approving/unapproving commissions:

You listed some pros in your credits but I likewise really would prefer not install this until it is plugin based. I would rather add a couple queries on the occasion where I get a purchase then to have to risk that there is an upgrade out and I need to deal with hardcoded file edits.

That's totally cool with me. I posted this mod to allow the people that have been searching for a mod for this for ages to get it and use it.

I will however fix it to use hooks as soon as some hooks are made available by vBulletin.com

I have installed but have not recorded any sales.
Wait traffic site to send a sale ;).
