HOW TO: Configure Post Affiliate Pro 3.1.4 for WHMCS 3.5.1

[Bitrain]

Below is the correct step-by-step to integrate WHMCS with Post Affiliate Pro:

PS. I find what new version WHMCS 3.5.1 not have checkoutscript.php but have actionhooks.php I don't know why, but actionhooks.php not work for me. When I check box in "Configuration -> Other -> Run Script on CheckOut" and not make any changes in actionhooks.php I have on checkout a blank page.

Well, here is steps:

1. Login to your WHMCS admin panel and check box "Run Script on CheckOut" in Configuration -> Other.

2. In your PAP admin panel go to "Tools -> Integration Wizard -> Step 2. Clicks tracking"

3. In "Clicks tracking" choice "new style". In field "Complete URL to main site" type your main URL, for example: http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php and put "Clicks tracking code" to your index.php page.

4. Create empty file checkoutscript.php and put insaid your new file this code:




<?php

$pap_query = mysql_query("select amount from tblorders WHERE id='$orderid'");
$pap_query = mysql_fetch_array($pap_query);
$pap_saleamt = $pap_query['amount'];
$pap_ordernum = $orderid;
print "<img border=0 src=\"http://www.yourdomain.com/affiliate/scripts/sale.php?TotalCost=$pap_saleamt&OrderID=$pap_ordernum \"width=1 height=1 alt=\"affiliate-image\">";

?>



Change http://www.yourdomain.com/affiliate tou your location where PAP installed.

5. Upload your new checkoutscript.php to WHMCS_install_directory/includes

After that configure your PAP and campaigns. It work fine for me.
Hope this help you!

PS. I find what new version WHMCS 3.5.1 not have checkoutscript.php but have actionhooks.php I don't know why, but actionhooks.php not work for me.

actionhooks is for the cart processing, checkouscript for the order processing - which methiod are you using ?



print "<img border=0 src=\"http://www.yourdomain.com/affiliate/scripts/sale.php?TotalCost=$pap_saleamt&OrderID=$pap_ordernum \"width=1 height=1 alt=\"affiliate-image\">";

A *VERY* bad idea as it will break the standard WHMCS processing :(
The checkoutscript.php should NOT output anything.

It was solution for order processing. Now for using cart processing.

1. Open in editor your WHMCS_install_directory/include/actionhooks.php

2. After function actionhook_ShoppingCartCheckout($vars) {

and before } add this code:




$orderid = $vars["OrderID"];
$ord_num = $vars["OrderNumber"];
$pap_query = mysql_query("select amount from tblorders WHERE id='$orderid'");
$pap_query = mysql_fetch_array($pap_query);
$pap_saleamt = $pap_query['amount'];
$url = "http://www.yourdomain.com/affiliate/scripts/sale.php?TotalCost=$pap_saleamt&OrderID=$orderid&ProductID=$ord_num";

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 100);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);



Change http://www.yourdomain.com/affiliate tou your location where PAP installed.

Hope this also helps integrate WHMCS with PAP ;)

Do u mean i just need to edit by follow your last post? or need to add your first post together?

[Bitrain]

Hi vitolim

If you use cart processing method, then follow only my last post.

This is good, I am not getting anything in the PAP, I look @ the web logs and do not see the curl calling? I ordered a product in the cart, paid, is actionhooks.php executed @ the completion of the order? Do I need to add anyting to the checkout script?

thanks

[Bitrain]

Hi rtartar
Depending on which processing method you have use, please follow my posts.
All things work fine.

PS. If you have a complexity you can PM me.

I"m using PAYPAL, and am wondering if the placement .... in checkout variables mean that the recurring sales are not triggered in PAP or cancelled for that matter?

[rtartar]

I don't know what my problem is? I can't seem to get this to work. I can get it to work with the client side javascript, but not the curl. I would really like to get the curl to work.

Hope this also helps integrate WHMCS with PAP ;)

The client sees a blank white screen instead of being sent to the appropriate gateway. Internally the order is being processes, but payment isn't.

Any suggestions?
