If you want to integrate iDev Affiliate (iDevDirect - http://www.idevdirect.com) with WP eStore then follow these set of tweaks. Our objective here is to pass the customers IP address so a commission can be awarded from the post payment processing script.

The latest version of WP eStore plugin already passes the IP Address to the post payment processing script so no need to worry about that.

Open the "paypal.php" file and search for the following line:

$this->debug_log('Updating Affiliate Database Table with Sales Data if Using the WP Affiliate Platform Plugin.',true);

Once you find it add the following bit of code just above that line:
```
$ip = $customvariables['ip'];
$sale_amount = $this->ipn_data['mc_gross'];
$order_num = $this->ipn_data['txn_id'];
$prepared_url = "http://www.site.com/idevaffiliate/sale.php?profile=72198&idev_saleamt=".$sale_amount."&idev_ordernum=".$order_num."&ip_address=".$ip;
$this->debug_log('Adding iDev commission. Prepared URL = '.$prepared_url,true);

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $prepared_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
```
Now, run a test traction and make sure everything is working.

OK, I think it seems to be working :-) Thanks. Now of course I am going to ask for more :-)

Any way to get the customer name and the product name that they ordered? I know in DLGuard iDev added:

&idev_option_1=%%customername%%&idev_option_3=%%productname%%

So would replacing the %%customername%% and %%productname%% variables with yours send back that information?

Thanks for all this help by the way, I really appreciate it.

You can get the customer name like the following:

$customer_name = $this->ipn_data['first_name']." ".$this->ipn_data['last_name'];

Getting the product name is a bit tricky... product name will work fine for one product purchase but what will you do for a cart checkout where there will be multiple products in the shopping cart?

Would you put the customer name code in the $prepared_url string or in the line above it? Or both?

Thanks.

Yeah you will need to add the customer name from the variable to the URL... so the prepared URL will become like the following:

$prepared_url = "http://www.site.com/idevaffiliate/sale.php?profile=72198&idev_saleamt=".$sale_amount."&idev_ordernum=".$order_num."&ip_address=".$ip."&idev_option_1=".$customer_name;

OK, I tried the code and I am not getting the customer name, so just to make sure I have it right, here is exactly what I put in the paypal.php:
_____________________________________________
$ip = $customvariables['ip'];
$sale_amount = $this->ipn_data['mc_gross'];
$order_num = $this->ipn_data['txn_id'];
$customer_name = $this->ipn_data['first_name']." ".$this->ipn_data['last_name'];
$prepared_url = "http://site.com/idevaffiliate/sale.php?profile=72198&idev_saleamt=".$sale_amount."&idev_ordernum=".$order_num."&ip_address=".$ip."&idev_option_1=".$customer_name;
$this->debug_log('Adding iDev commission. Prepared URL = '.$prepared_url,true);

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $prepared_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
_________________________________________________________

I am getting the transaction id and sale amount, so that works, just not passing the name.

Thanks.

The code looks fine to me... please run the transaction with debug enabled then look for the following text in the debug file:

Adding iDev commission. Prepared URL

Let me know what the "Prepared URL" is.. I am pretty sure the customer name is getting appended to the URL but if you have configured iDev to use it properly is a different question.

Actually, I see it is recording the first name, but not the last. Not sure how I missed that, but I will send a help ticket to iDev with the details and see what they have to say about the last name.

Thanks.

Here is what the iDev support said as to why the last name is not showing up:
________________________________________
Well this is being chopped.

idev_option_1=Flo Murphy

You'd need this to be sent using standard HTML.

idev_option_1=Flo%20Murphy

%20 would be a space.

Try HTML entities or some other piece of code to conver the data before assigning it to a URL.
__________________________________________

Is that easily doable?

Thanks.
