Edit the ad and see if it has an end date.

That the strange thing. It doesn't have start and date. I'm wondering why no start and end date was created?

I'm wondering why no start and end date was created?

Was it activated manually by changing the state?

How do the affiliate functions work? Do we need to fill in our affiliate network details somewhere? I see there is a setting for link ads in thread custom fields and I see that we can create ads that add a referral code to the url.

Various affiliate networks we work with have switched to unique tracking URLs though, so this approach unfortunately does not work.
i.e.

https://track.revoffers.com/aff_c?offer_id=123&aff_id=4567&url_id=1111

Is there a way to support unique affiliate links?

A big issue with affiliate links is that pages go dead or worse; affiliate programs stop while we are still sending traffic. Its really hard to manage.
It would be awesome to have a way to manage dead / inactive affiliate links or automatically deactivate affiliate links if the affiliate program is inactive.

I work with the following affiliate networks:

• Refersion
• PostAffiliate pro
• Katalys (previously revoffers)
• affiliatly
• GoAffPro
• AWIN (previously ShareaSale)
• Impact

Are any of these supported?
Please consider implementing these trough API.

Please consider to add support for affiliate fields in @Bob 's Reviews Management System.
We have an affiliate store in RMS. Users can review products and buy trough the affiliate link.

Users of Bob's addons have interest in these features for RMS, CAS:

1. Pay to post (Create/sell promo Items)
2. Pay to feature (Create/sell featured items)
3. Pay to sticky (Create/sell sticky items)

These would be nice to have.

Yes could be, but I do not remember.
But if it so, how can the member pay a invoice after the due date ?
Because the state will be change to cancelled and they are no longer able to pay the invoice than ?
Or am I wrong ?

Is there a way to support unique affiliate links?

There are various methods to use depending on the network and how they work:

1. Append parameter to affiliate website
2. Append affiliate website to URL
3. Replace affiliate website with URL
4. Replace parameters in affiliate URL
5. Use callback to build affiliate URL

If you need to build a unique link that requires API, you need "Use callback to build affiliate URL" option. These days you can use AI to generate code to implement APIs and stuff so it is up to you. I can't add support for every affiliate network used.

But if it so, how can the member pay a invoice after the due date ?

You need to change the Invoice status to "Pending", The way to enable an ad manually after pending payment is to change the invoice status to Completed.

I have been having issues lately with END DATES as well, for already active ads. They were dates that I previously extended, to give some free months.

It seems like when they expire, it blanks out the end date field and keeps the ads as ACTIVE status. (instead of expiring it and emailing them)

I have been having issues lately with END DATES as well, for already active ads.

Strange because there is a Cron job that handles expired ads and it changes the ad status to inactive as well.

 

[Rhody]

Often it seems to blank out both dates and keeps the ad active. The email doesn't go out. I have seen it happen multiple times this year.

I almost wonder if maybe it doesn't like what I named the ad or something?

I can duplicate the behavior, if needed.

That would be great.
