If you are running an e-commerce site, you almost certainly have affiliates and need affiliate management software. Affiliates for All is the new affiliate management system that everyone is talking about. We will explain Affiliates for All integration with Prestashop in this tutorial series. In this post we will cover how to setup Affiliates for All in your webserver in simple way. We take some part of this tutorial from Affiliates for All manual. Please refer to this manual if you want more detailed instruction.

#1 Download Affilates for All for free

affiliates-1.2.0.tar.gz

01-May-2009 21:08

4.2M

You can download Affiliates for All from here. If you have problems, you can also download from SourceForge project. The latest production version of Affiliates for All is 1.1.3.

#2 Extract Affiliates for All inside your Prestashop root

After you have downloaded affiliates-1.2.0.tar.gz, extract this zip files in your Prestashop installation root. So I got …/prestashop/affiliates-1.2.0/ folder in my webserver. For you comfort, rename affiliates-1.2.0 to aff for example.

#3 Create MySql database for Affiliates for All

Please read our previous tutorial how to setup mysql database for your web application. After this step, you should know where is your mysql server installed, whether it installed in localhost (same as your webserver) or in other server, mysql account user name, mysql account password, and off course your mysql database name. And the last step is import affiliates.sql to your new Affiliates for All database. This file is in aff directory.

#4 Configure Affiliates for All

Rename config.inc.sample to config.inc This is most important part to ensure you Affiliates for All work with Prestashop. We include some important configuration from my own to make this thing more clear.

$store_home = 'http://www.yourpresta.com/modules/affiliatesforall/affiliate_home.php';

This variable is the URL to your affiliate_home.php, modify this line according to your prestashop web.

$rpc_secret = '12345';

Make this variable unique, this is key to communicate between prestashop and Affiliates for All. You will use this variable in Prestashop Back Office.

$database_dsn = 'mysql:dbname=your-database-name;host=127.0.0.1';
$database_username = 'your-mysql-username';
$database_password = 'your-mysql-password';

You have to understand this configuration, this variable is needed by Affiliates for All to connect with MySql server. Host 127.0.0.1 is alias for localhost, if your web hosting provide different ip address for your mysql server, you have to change it accordingly.

After this step, you have complete Affiliates for All installation. You can access your AFA in http://yourprestashop.com/aff . Please notice that aff is actually affiliates-1.2.0 which have been renamed to aff.
