Any ideas? was I supposed to save those queries or just run them? I'll admit i'm pretty MySQL/PHPMyAdmin retarded

did you install the templates?

sure did. i followed the instructions to a T (i do believe), at least I did everything it asked piece by piece....

I'm at work right now, but i'll try to open the instructions here and make sure i didn't miss anything. but i have 10 Affiliate templates right now, i even directly copied their names from the .txt file to keep from making typos

and I lied, the first template was lowercase instead of caps


ok, i'm gonna go play around again, if i can't figure it out i'll be back Thanks


EDIT: I'm back: and not w/ positive results. For one, the index is working now, that's good news, however the bad news is none of the links are working. When I vote/rate one of the affiliates the redirect page goes into an infinite loop (links such as: http://www.emptythecup.com/forums/affiliate.php?do=vote ) or when I click on the name of the Affiliate, which should send me to their Domain, i'm getting an infinite loop.

Ideas?

this may be due to your browser

Firefox 1.0 PR??


EDIT: sure as heck, it worked in IE.

Any ideas how i can cleanup that link to work in FF/Opera?

Any idea's on my problem?

Thanks.

Yep, I can verify the firefox problems. Any idea's on that? A large number of my users are using FF, and i'm pushing that browser hard since IE sucks so badly.

i'm the same way

i'm investigating the "redirect" function inside of affiliate.php for anything i might be able to change to hopefully create a more firefox-friendly page as of right now the whole module isn't worth much to me since i (and at least half my users) are dedicated FF users

After speaking with Ianomed about this he pointed out some problems with the template STANDARD_REDIRECT and Firefox...as a result I've found (at least a temporary fix) a fix for this...go to your STANDARD_REDIRECT template and change:

		else
		{
			clearTimeout(timerID);
			window.status = "";
			window.location = "$js_url";
		}

to:

		else
		{
			clearTimeout(timerID);
			window.status = "";
			window.location = "$url";
		}

I'm testing it across a few different browsers right now, i'll post if i find any irregularities, but at least the URL's are forwarding now (making this module useful again )
