not directly. This means basically that you want to convert every unique LOG into a conversion (with a flat commission). That requires a bit of coding.

Rather than pay a commission on sales/conversions, we want to pay a flat amount for each visitor referred to the site. Can this be done and how?

See my post here on how to do this.

I think your post actually lead me to this post which has me modifying the code.
If I understand it correctly, I need to add this:
$conversion_data = array(
"name" => "Clik on link",
"component" => "com_affiliatetracker",
"extended_name" => "Account ID: " . $data['atid'],
"type" => 1,
"value" => 1 ,
"reference_id" => $data['atid'],
"approved" => 1,
);

require_once(JPATH_SITE.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'components'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'com_affiliatetracker'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'helpers'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'helpers.php');
AffiliateHelper::create_conversion($conversion_data, false);

after this:
if (!$row->store()) {
$mainframe->enqueueMessage($db->getErrorMsg());
return false;
}

on this file: /plugins/system/affiliate_tracker/affiliate_tracker.php
at the function saveLog($data), around line 108.

Is that correct?

Can I create an override in the template html file so it doesn't get overridden with updates?
If so, what would the path be?
/plugins/system/affiliate_tracker/affiliate_tracker.php ??

OK, so now where do I get the API?
Or in other words,
how do I identify the button/link that gets clicked ?
Sorry, I don't know Javascript or php, so I need some help here.

you don't need to identify that, that's precisely the part that the API will do for you...

So how do you suggest I test this to see if it is working properly?
We are still in developmental stages. Do I try putting a link in an email or another site? Is the fact that it is all coming from one IP address a problem?
