[admin]

You can customize any text or message displayed to your visitors using the following method:

Remove a Particular Form Field

1. If you are using the on page affiliate view option

---

Open the “register_view.php” file from the “view” directory of the affiliate plugin and customize it however you like.

For example, If you want to remove the “Fax” field from the affiliate signup page then find the following block of code and remove it:

<tr>

<td><b><?php echo AFF_FAX; ?>:</b></td>

<td><b>

<input type="text" name="afax" size="20" value="<?php echo $_POST['afax']; ?>">

</b></td>

</tr>

2. If you are using the stand alone affiliate view option

---

Open the “register.php” file from the “affiliates” directory of the affiliate plugin and customize it however you like

For example, If you want to remove the “Fax” field from the affiliate signup page then find the following block of code and remove it:

<tr>

<td><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#000000"><?php echo AFF_FAX; ?>:</font></b></td>

<td><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#000000">

<input type="text" name="afax" size=20 value="<?php echo $_POST['afax']; ?>">

</font></b>

</td>

</tr>

On the Affiliate Signup form, how to make the affiliate Website Address a required field? Thanks.

[admin]

Search for the following line of code:

<input type="text" name="awebsite" size="20" value="<?php echo $_POST['awebsite']; ?>">

Change it to the following to make the website field a required field:

<input type="text" name="awebsite" size="20" value="<?php echo $_POST['awebsite']; ?>" class="required">

It didn’t work. Here’s a copy of the relevant code fro the file on my server:

Maybe it did work. I was looking for the asterisk on the signup form, but then I saw I needed to add it in the code. So I did, like for First Name and Last Name. But the asterisk still does not appear on the form. It may be that there isn’t enough room to show it before the fill-in field. What to do? Thanks.

[admin]

Do the following to add asterisk in the label:

Search for the following code:

<?php echo AFF_WEBSITE; ?>:

Replace it with the following:

<?php echo AFF_WEBSITE; ?>: *

Already did what you said. Still no asterisk next to Website Address: in the signup form. I cleared caches in all browsers.

[admin]

Which affiliate view/area option are you using? See reference here:

Option 1

[admin]

Okay in that case, open the following file:

affiliates/register.php

Then search for the following:

<input type="text" name="awebsite" size=20 value="<?php echo $_POST['awebsite']; ?>">

Change it to the following when you find it:

<input type="text" name="awebsite" size=20 value="<?php echo $_POST['awebsite']; ?>" class="required">

It already reads like that. Should I install the plugin again? If so then please send me a fresh link.

Hi, you can install a fresh copy of the plugin using the following link:

[starback]

I deactivated and deleted the plugin, the installed it again with a fresh link. The previous customizations you suggested are still there. Still no asterisk, and I don’t know if the field is required or not now.

[admin]

The asterisk symbol doesn’t really make the field required. It is just a visual indication for the user. Share the URL of your affiliate signup page so I can take a look to see how the field is working now.

To add the asterisk symbol modify the same file (affiliates/register.php) and search for the following:

<?php echo AFF_WEBSITE; ?>:

Once you find it, change it to the following:

<?php echo AFF_WEBSITE; ?>: *
