Hi Jane, I am not familiar with box.net but I do know that some of my customers are using a 3rd party storage site to host the downloadable files.
As long as they support PHP fopen or CURL to stream a remote file there shouldn’t be any problem.
I have updated the plugin so now it will record it as a click even when you directly enter the affiliate link in the browser’s address bar. Also the double click issue has been sorted out.
Hi Tink, I introduced the conditional coupon option after v2.6.9. I haven’t sent out this release to the existing customers yet but I will send you a copy so you can start playing around
As explained in this thread (https://support.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forums/topic/emember-feature-requests) we now have a new version of eMember that will definitely solve this Interface issue. The question is do you want to upgrade to the new version right now or not. Upgrading to the new version is definitely good but it means the pasword for existing users need to be reset/changed since the new version now uses the same password encryption algorithm that wordpress uses (this was necessary to make the wordpress user integration feature happen).
I can give you a script that will automatically convert the member passwords so you can do the upgrade too (this option is good if you have a large number of existing members already)
Hi Greg, This is something I am definitely going to implement but we had a set back with the whole PHP4 and PHP5 server issues so we decided to work on updating the whole codebase so it works seamlessly on both PHP4 and PHP5. We also added the option so you can now integrate the eMember users with your wordpress user database so when a member signs up in eMember an user account is also created in the core wordpress user database so the login credentials can be shared (this feature can be turned on or off). This option resulted a lot of additional work. Anyway, hopefully we should be able to implement the email address getting feature soon.
At the moment renewals are handled by subscription payments. So for example if you want to create a membership where the members have to pay “x” amount of money per month or year to stay subscribed then all you have to do is create a “Membership Level” and set the subscription duration to “Never Expire”.
Now configure a Subscription button in eStore and hook it to this membership level (http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-membership/?p=60)
Once they make a payment using this subscription button they will become a member but they can’t cancel this subscription in order to stay a member cause as soon as they unsubscribe PayPal will notify the eStore plugin and it will automatically deactivate the membership for this member.
This way the recurring payments and subscriptions are automatically handled for you and you don’t have to worry about sending notification to your members and stuff. Does this make sense?
Hey Ryan, it is not possible to limit by the number of downloads yet but this is something I am definitely looking to implement in the near future.
yeah it sounds good… I will get this implemented… bug me in a few days if I haven’t finished doing it. I have a super long to do list so it is very easy for me to forget
There is a “CSS” file for the affiliate view which you can modify to make the affiliate view match your theme (eg. use same header image, background color, font etc).
Yep you can easily remove the footer link by unchecking that option in the settings menu o this plugin. The link is there as a place holder for you to plug your affiliate link.
Please check the following URL and make sure the values are set accordingly:

Yes the WP eStore plugin has coupon configuration option:
here is a page that lists the main features of eStore
I have tried to keep the eStore simple to use but it’s a little bit more complex than the simple shopping cart since it has a lot more functionality and stuff. this video tutorial should give you more insight:

Hi Kamal, you can use one of the fancy options used in the demo page:
You can also use the display all products options:
The other option is to use NextGen Gallery to showcase your products:
Hi Mike, copying and pasting the URL in the browser won’t record the click because that is not considered as a click. For a click to be valid I make sure that the visitor followed the link from a web page or email or something so this reference can be recorded in the database too. If you paste the address directly in the browser then this does not satisfy the definition of referral. This can be easily changed if you want on your installation though.
The double click record issue is related to how different browser handles redirection (on IE you won’t see this behavior). At the moment the Affiliate Platform plugin doesn’t do Unique referrals (this is something I will add in a future release) so it doesn’t really hurt to have multiple clicks.
I tried to keep it as simple as possible, so all I have tried to make sure is that the very core functionality of an affiliate software works (an affiliate sends traffic your way and he/she gets proper commission for that referral).
This is a server related issue. If your server takes too long to respond to a certain request then the PHP script will time out.
You do not need to do any settings in your PayPal for this to work. eStore is designed to work with the default PayPal settings.. however if you have changed the settings around how the IPN and auto return is handled then I need to know cause a wrong settings will make it to know work.
For example, you have “Auto return” turned on in your PayPal profile the “Thank You” page won’t display the downloads cause when you use “auto return” PayPal doesn’t POST the payment data back to the site and without verifying the payment data the plugin wont’ give out the downloads.
