Thanks for the response and the effort put into understanding JROX. If I use the php script method the code placed in my “Thank you” page would be:

$JAMIntegrate = file_get_contents(“http://www.prontopage.net/affiliates/sale.php?amount=”.$mc_gross.”&trans_id=”.$txn_id.”&custom_mid=”.$_COOKIE.””);

The missing piece is the “&custom_mid=”.$_COOKIE. portion… do you know how would I get the cookie from eStore to PayPal and back?

Regarding examples: First JROX purports that they integrate with just about everything… http://jam.jrox.com/compatibility/

They list examples of all here… http://jam.jrox.com/docs/index.php?category=11

I think that if we can get the cookie piece we’ll be ok…

If you want to see what this all looks like you can use the JAM demo here.

>http://jam.jrox.com/demo/

>Login to the Admin area

>click “Settings” in the upper right corner

>click “System Integration” in the lower left corner

>Under “Integration Type” you can select the various drop downs to see the various codes generated for integration.

Thanks for helping with this,

Chris

One more thing I found related to your script, but I am not clear about what it is suggesting. Can you translate for me?

http://forums.jrox.com/index.php/topic,3716.0.html

I did ad the 2nd “$output” to eStore_cart.php but I am not clear on which code I need to put where related to the “php_coin” example in the referenced post.

$output .= ‘<input type=”image” src=”‘.$checkout_button.'” name=”submit” class=”eStore_paypal_checkout_button” alt=”Checkout” />’;

$output .= ‘<script language=”JavaScript” type=”text/javascript” src=”http://WWW.DOMAIN.COM/AFFILIATES/showaff.php?id=paypal”></script>&#8217;;

$output .= ‘</form>’;

…at the end of the day I just need a quick solution…

Please help!

OK a couple of things. I am hoping that one way or another we can come up with a solution.

1) Following the JROX instructions In the last post, I created a thank you page and put the php code there (I am using the exec-php plugin). That script does call for &custom_mid=”.$_COOKIE. which I realize paypal has no clue about. Any Idea how I can get paypal to get and send that cookie back to my thank you page?

OR

2) According to this post http://forums.jrox.com/index.php/topic,1416.msg6047.html#msg6125 “apparently we CAN have more than one script using paypal IPN the trick is to code the IPN into the actual BUY NOW button using

notify_url right in the code”. Please see the comment from JROX admin following that. Does this mean that I can use the method from my first post? If so where would I put that code?

…and currently my paypal ipn is http://www.mydomainname.net/affiliates/plugins/payments/paypal/plugin_paypal_payments.php

does any of this affect that setting.

Your help would be greatly appreciated as I did not anticipate this delay because I was able to make JROX work with the simple shopping cart and I am due to launch my affiliate program this evening on a conference call.

thanks

Yes. The eStore plugin. I have this too…

$JAMIntegrate = file_get_contents(“http://www.yourdomainname.net/affiliates/sale.php?amount=&#8221;.$paypal_amount.”&trans_id=”.$txn_id.”&custom_mid=”.$_COOKIE.””);

What would I do with it?

Here are the instructions from JROX Jam Affiliate Manager:

System Integration using a PHP script

To integrate JAM into your website / application using a PHP Script, use the following directions:

1. Your landing or thank you page must be written in PHP.

2. Click on Settings>System Integration, select PHP Script on the Integration Type drop down list.

3. Enter the variable name set by your payment processor for amount as the Sale Amount variable to use.

4. Enter the variable name set by your payment processor for transaction or order ID as the Transaction ID variable to use.

5. Enable and enter any more custom variables you want to record as specified by your payment processor. These may include product ID, customer ID, etc. You can name up to 5 different custom variables of your choice.

6. Click Save Integration Settings.

7. Open up your php landing or thank you page, and copy and paste the PHP Code into your web page. Make sure that all variables are correct.

You can disregard the last post. I went ahead and purchased wp eStore and it’s a great plugin. Does a lot of what I need and is very simple to use. Since it has the feature that anchors you to the shopping cart after purchase, I think that I can just provide a link at the bottom of the page to bring the customer to the next offer…

…but I think it would be nice to be able to include a custom message (for that product specifically). I could then provide an instant message and/or link that would not appear until added to cart.

is there any way to do that now?

Thanks,

Chris

… and I should add that the redirect really can’t always default to the same page. Really it would need to be something like:

if on page A, then redirect to page B

If on page B, then redirect to page C

etc…

am I asking for too much?

Thanks,

Chris

I sell services. Quesions:

1) Is this automated in wp-e store plugin? I really a hack and I think this what I would do, but not sure…

if($_POST) {

header(“Location: whatever.com/nextproductpage.html”);

…and where would I put it? Could I just stick it here?

---

Line 143 if ($_POST)

(should I place the code here or will it redirect too soon since it needs to process of of this other stuff?)

Line 145 {

Line 147 $count = 1;

Line 149 $products = $_SESSION;

---

2) Can I use your wp-ecommerce plug in to sell services. I want to put a button on one page and then on another and walk people through a multipage check out process. Can I use wp-ecommerce for that?

3) If yes to number 2, since I already have wp simple installed and set up in upgrading going to force me to start over?

4) does the “terms and conditions feature come with wp-ecommerce.

Thanks very much.

Chris
