integrate wp affiliate platform for pay per lead commission

Hi! Guys is there a way to do this script with in gravity forms hook for pre-submission? i want to reward a pay per lead action using wp affiliate platform.

They used this script on contact 7 additional settings to award the commission. "on_sent_ok: var url='http://www.shadow-labs.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-platform/api/post.php?data=4bd39e2e4a7ty|'+getCookie('ap_id')+'|49.95||2'; ajax.gets(url);"

they award commission can be awarded using http post request but I dont want to redirect users to that page;

Is there a way to post submit this query over pre-submission hook?

I am not sure if rovillesarate figured out a solution but I am trying to do something similar with the WP Affiliate Platform.

Below I have a link to the directions and code they want added to contact form 7. Basically they want you to add some shortcode to the notification. Done (note: not sure if shortcode will work) Then they want you to add the code into a file of the plugin. The code is supposed to go in to the plugin right before it composes the email that it sends to the admin.

My question is where in GF plugin should I paste in this code.

Any and all help will be appreciated. Thank you.

These are the directions that they tell you to use on contact form 7

This is code they want you to add to the classes.php file in contact form 7

The admin notifications issue has been fixed with the install of wp-mail-smtp but I still have not gotten the leads to show up in the Affiliate software

First of all a big thank you to the members of this forum for supplying a large number of code snippets; As I am not a PHP programmer I spent time browsing this forum to get the right PHP constructs for merging with elements of the wp-affilate code to create the following solution.

a) The GF lead capture form needs the following three fields in place:
e-mail address for the lead
hidden field to capture client IP (default value)
hidden field to capture unique id capable of being dynamically populated (I called mine unique_id)

b) Shortcut to invoke form and pass unique id (in case you want to call form from multiple places on your website)
[gravityform id=12 title=false description=false field_values='unique_id=1']

c) Following code to go into functions.php - replace form id with your own form reference number and replace the field numbers for the three $_POST's.

// November 2010 MJB - Add For Gravity Forms Post Submission
function gf_post_submission($entry, $form){
    // Only Execute For Form 12 - Lead Capture
    if($form['id'] != 12) return $form;
    //Check For Presence Of Cookie ap_id
        $aff_id = $_COOKIE['ap_id'];
        if(!empty($aff_id))
        {
// Build Lead Table Entries
	    $reference   = $_POST["input_14"]; //Unique ID
            $clientdate  = (date ("Y-m-d"));
            $clienttime  = (date ("H:i:s"));
            $buyer_email = $_POST["input_3"];  //Email
            $ipaddress   = $_POST["input_12"]; // Client IP Address
            global $wpdb;
            $affiliates_leads_table_name = $wpdb->prefix . "affiliates_leads_tbl";
            $updatedb = "INSERT INTO $affiliates_leads_table_name (buyer_email,refid,reference,date,time,ipaddress) VALUES ('$buyer_email','$aff_id','$reference','$clientdate','$clienttime','$ipaddress')";
            $results = $wpdb->query($updatedb);
        }
}
add_action("gform_post_submission", "gf_post_submission", 10, 2);
// End Addition For Gravity Forms

Tested this morning and works for me...adding entries into the GF form and wp-affiliates Lead Gen tables.

How do you configure this code to work for multiple forms? For example, we have three forms setup on the website and we want to track the referrals for each.

Thank you for your reply. I am a newbie here struggling through this. Here is the code base I am using.

CODE BEGIN
// November 2010 MJB - Add For Gravity Forms Post Submission
function gf_post_submission($entry, $form){
// Only Execute For Form 12 - Lead Capture
if($form['id'] != 12) return $form;
//Check For Presence Of Cookie ap_id
$aff_id = $_COOKIE['ap_id'];
if(!empty($aff_id))
{
// Build Lead Table Entries
$reference = $_POST["input_14"]; //Unique ID
$clientdate = (date ("Y-m-d"));
$clienttime = (date ("H:i:s"));
$buyer_email = $_POST["input_3"]; //Email
$ipaddress = $_POST["input_12"]; // Client IP Address
global $wpdb;
$affiliates_leads_table_name = $wpdb->prefix . "affiliates_leads_tbl";
$updatedb = "INSERT INTO $affiliates_leads_table_name (buyer_email,refid,reference,date,time,ipaddress) VALUES ('$buyer_email','$aff_id','$reference','$clientdate','$clienttime','$ipaddress')";
$results = $wpdb->query($updatedb);
}
}
add_action("gform_post_submission", "gf_post_submission", 10, 2);
// End Addition For Gravity Forms

I have three forms that I want to track:
gravityform id=7
gravityform id=6
gravityform id=2

Each form has different fields. When I made some changes to what I THOUGHT I should do, it didn't work and the site returned a blank page. I would GREATLY appreciate it if you could help me.

Also, I you could spare some of your knowledge, in the instructions located here - http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-affiliate/gravity-forms-and-wp-affiliate-platform-integration-385, I don't understand where the UNIQUE_ID comes into play.

Thank you so much for your help!!!

Thanks for putting these instructions up.

I wasn't sure whether or not to start another topic or piggy back on this one so I hope the later is OK.

Although I understand what is generally needed, I am lost on a few points:

By the way, I’m using caps for clarity. I’m not shouting. :o )

STEP 1)
* e-mail address for the lead ~ NO PROBLEM
* hidden field to capture client IP (default value) ~ NO PROBLEM
* hidden field to capture unique id capable of being dynamically populated (I called mine unique_id) ~ THE HIDDEN FIELD HAS AN ADVANCED TAB WHICH DISPLAYS:

A section: “Default Value” (dropdown) with “Insert Variable” as the default which has a blank field by default under it. WHICH VALUE IS SELECTED WHAT GOES IN THE FIELD?

A section: “Allow field to be populated dynamically” (checkbox) and when checked, which is what we want, the following appears:

A section: “Parameter Name:” with a blank field. WHAT GOES IN THIS FIELD?

STEP 2)
Shortcut to invoke form and pass unique id (in case you want to call form from multiple places on your website)

[gravityform id=12 title=false description=false field_values='unique_id=1']
I’M AFRAID I DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS AT ALL. WHAT DO I NEED TO CREATE/EDIT/ADD AND WHERE?

STEP 3)
Following code to go into “functions.php” file of your theme (NO PROBLEM) – replace form id with your own form reference number (I ASSUME THIS IS JUST THE FORM ID AND NOT SOME DIFFERENT REFERENCE NUMBER FOUND OR CREATED ELSEWHERE) and replace the field numbers for the three $_POST’s (WHAT ARE THEY REPLACED WITH?).

I would be really grateful for any advice.

Thanks,
David

Thanks very much for such a detailed breakdown. It really helped and everything is working great.

Thanks again!!
