Hi,
I hope you can help me, I have a few Affiliate programmes and I have been waiting for Network Solutions to put the space where you can add the Codes..
Which I have located and I thank you guys & Gals.. but now I have stumbled across a big problem with it.
I'm a member of Commission Junction where you get your text links & banners - after putting my banners up - it's showing that my customers will have problems accessing my webpage due to their firewalls because the certificates not being secure.
I rang Network solutions who said I can try putting a s with the http but not sure if that will work.. well it didnt fix the problem.
Is there any other suggestions - the Links will not allow you to put the codes in as it must start with the http:// where most of these affiliates have coding in their text links..

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone else how to help me in this.. it would be greatly appreciated.

mscreative9,

Most of the time when there are security error messages involved with third party
codes, I have found that they are usually related to the image reference and not to the hyperlink. In other words, in this example - - the issue is the IMG element and not the A element. If I were to check the domain's URL with the secure protocol and it worked - - Then this can continue to be used, even in the secure pages through checkout. If their server does not have an available secure mode, this reference won't work anyway. In this case, you will need to download the image from their server and then upload it to your own server and reference it locally - - And this will prevent the problem.

I hope this helps.

Excellent answer, James! I was wondering the same myself. I took my affiliates off the site in the new version due to these security errors in my cart.

I can't wait to try this out.

I thought we didn't currently have the ability to code affiliate programs. I was told this was a 7.3 release where we would write some backend stuff to track where sales came from. Is that correct?

Hi christianbooksbibles,

What this client is doing is just using custom html/ javascript. In terms of an affiliate program, if your affiliate program can be implemented via straight HTML CSS and Javascript you can use it now for sure.

Most though cannot so they will have to wait till our public API is released and they will then have to integrate with that.
