Affiliate Tracking Code

[Cybril]

Hello,

 

I am trying to add affiliate tracking code to my client's installation and I have seen a few solutions but the code they say to find does not match what I am looking at, I'm guessing my client's is older.  I can not find a version number in the code but it does say 'copyright 2007-2012 PrestaShop' so I guess this is from 2012?

 

Can anyone help with what I need to add to OrderConfirmationController.php?  I see this in function process:

 

        self::$smarty->assign(array(
            'is_guest' => self::$cookie->is_guest,
            'HOOK_ORDER_CONFIRMATION' => Hook::orderConfirmation((int)($this->id_order)),
            'HOOK_PAYMENT_RETURN' => Hook::paymentReturn((int)($this->id_order), (int)($this->id_module))
        ));

 

There is also this:

 

        if (self::$cookie->is_guest)
        {
            self::$smarty->assign(array(
                'id_order' => $this->id_order,
                'id_order_formatted' => sprintf('#%06d', $this->id_order)
            ));
            /* If guest we clear the cookie for security reason */
            self::$cookie->mylogout();
        }
 

which looks more like what I want but I don't want to add it if they are only a guest, I want it for all.

 

So I guess I add those variables from if guest to the top one, but I also need total order - what would this variable be?  I see if $order->payment != $module->displayName which looks like a text comparison so I don't want that - is there an $order->total_products?

 

Any help greatly appreciated.  This is my first time working with Prestashop.

This should work

 

 

 self::$smarty->assign(array(

            'id_order' => $this->id_order,
            'id_order_formatted' => sprintf('#%06d', $this->id_order),
            'is_guest' => self::$cookie->is_guest,
            'HOOK_ORDER_CONFIRMATION' => Hook::orderConfirmation((int)($this->id_order)),
            'HOOK_PAYMENT_RETURN' => Hook::paymentReturn((int)($this->id_order), (int)($this->id_module))
        ));

 

 

But what is your presta version? cause 1.6 looks like

 

 

$this->context->smarty->assign(array(

'is_guest' => $this->context->customer->is_guest,

'HOOK_ORDER_CONFIRMATION' => $this->displayOrderConfirmation(),

'HOOK_PAYMENT_RETURN' => $this->displayPaymentReturn()

));

Thank you, this is what I ended up doing yesterday:

 

        self::$smarty->assign(array(
            'is_guest' => self::$cookie->is_guest,
            'HOOK_ORDER_CONFIRMATION' => Hook::orderConfirmation((int)($this->id_order)),
            'HOOK_PAYMENT_RETURN' => Hook::paymentReturn((int)($this->id_order), (int)($this->id_module)),
            'id_order' => $this->id_order,
            'id_order_formatted' => sprintf('#%06d', $this->id_order),
'total_products'=>$this->total_products
        ));
        
        if (self::$cookie->is_guest)
        {
            //self::$smarty->assign(array(
                //'id_order' => $this->id_order,
                //'id_order_formatted' => sprintf('#%06d', $this->id_order)
            //));
            /* If guest we clear the cookie for security reason */
            self::$cookie->mylogout();
        }

 

Can you confirm total_products variable will work?  I don't know the version, I can not find it anywhere in the code.

[NemoPS]

Well no, definitely not. Unless you assign it before, it will never work of course

[Cybril]

Perhaps you could tell me what will work rather than just saying 'definitely not' and 'it will never work of course', I asked in my first post what the total order variable was and also said this was my first time with Prestashop, so a bit more help would be appreciated, being a 'Prestashop Superstar' and all.

[NemoPS]

"Prestashop  Superstar" is assigned by the forum itself based on the number of posts, nothing I would ever address myself with. That said, try this:

 

$this->context->cart->getProducts();

[Cybril]

Thank you, I will try that.

[Cybril]

Do you also have any idea of how to add a script to footer (or header)?  I've added to both and nothing shows up - and the tags in the actual footer do not match any in the template.  Is there a cache?

[NemoPS]

You mean a <script> tag?

[Cybril]

Yes, an affiliate tracking link to be precise.  I've tried adding to header.tpl and footer.tpl but it never shows up.

[NemoPS]

How did you add it exactly? Directly by copying.pasting to a tpl file? It's sup[posed to show up, but you might get compilation errors if you don't wrap it with a cdata block

[Cybril]

Yes I just posted direct the script tag.  There is no compilation error, it's just not showing up, but the strange thing is some of the id's and classes in the output I see on the page do not match the code I see in the template file, it's like it's a completely different file (which would certainly be the reason I'm not seeing the script tag show up) but I can't see where else I should be putting it - there is only one folder (prestashop) under themes.  Maybe I'll try the cdata block and see how I go, thanks.

[Cybril]

No, that didn't work either.

[NemoPS]

Try writing something that really has to show up, like in footer.tpl, write


TEST HERE!

Then set to force compile in the back office (advanced parameters, performance). See if it pops up

[Cybril]

The test here didn't work and I didn't find an option in admin (finally got access) to force a compile - I have found out we have Version: 1.4.8.2 - I am now browsing through admin to see if I can add via there - I see back office -> modules -> positions - would I do it in there somewhere?

[NemoPS]

Hm, I forgot where it was on that version, maybe preferences, performance. Or, delete the content of tools/smarty/compile (leave index.php)

[Cybril]

That got it (the delete contents of compile folder) - thank you!!

[Cybril]

Ah well, on one site, not the other - bah!  I'll see what version the other one is.

[Cybril]

This one is the same version and already had force compile switched on and I deleted the contents of compile for good measure but that did nothing either.  Any other ideas?  Thanks for your help/patience/persistence.

[Cybril]

Ok so turns out user error on this one - there was another theme called 'style' and I just assumed it had css etc under it and didn't even look!  So all done now, and thank you once again for all your help.
