Need help with creating/integrating web form...

I'm helping set up an affiliate program for a client, and we're struggling with setting up an HTML registration form on our client's affiliate sales page (which is hosted on a Wordpress blog... "thesis" theme) that properly ties into their Post Affiliate Pro 4 affiliate software... so that things are properly tracked and such.

Anyone have experience with working with PAP4 in this fashion (or similar).

We obviously know how to set up web forms, but it's the integration that has us a bit perplexed at the moment.

Thanks for your help!

  • Hi Andy,

    Depends on whether PAP4 is on the same website as the Wordpress blog or not.

    If they're both on the same web site, you could create a custom Wordpress plugin which uses the PAP API to register a new affiliate once the form is submitted.

    If they're on different sites, you could create a custom script on the PAP4 site, which uses the PAP API to register a new affiliate once the form is submitted. You'd probably want to POST the form data from the Wordpress site over to your custom script.

    Pap_Api_Affiliate | High level API | API | Programmers documentation | Post Affiliate Pro | has details on the API; they talk a bit about Joomla integration, so it certainly looks possible.

    Tim.
  • Andy, in case you will not be able to integrate it, just contact our support. Support crew will try to help you.

    If you will use HTML form prepared in merchant panel (menu Configuration -> Signup -> HTML form), data will be automatically submitted to PAP4.

    If you like, you can use also custom HTML form developed by you and use API to create affiliates. API can be called also on different server and you can connect to any other server, where is installed PAP.

    On your place I would not use API, just simple HTML form from merchant panel.

  • The easiest solution - post redirect link or redirect page to registration page of PAP.
  • Yes, that is next option, but in that case you should customize the design of signup page of Post Affiliate Pro so, that it will looks like your home page.

    It can be done quite easily too, so I would not be scared about it.
    Checkout e.g. this video - it explains how to customize signup theme: YouTube- Broadcast Yourself.
