hello

use {atid} instead, to get only the ID.

Hi,

Please let me know, how can I add the link to a specific page in the Marketing Material administration so that in front-end the link is generated with the specific affiliate id of the affiliate user?

I have this link

<a href="/{affiliate_link}">Referral Link</a>

on which {affiliate_link} translates to

http://domain.com?atid=1

When I want to link to a specific page my link will look like this

<a href="http://domain.com/my-specific-page/{affiliate_link}">Referral Link</a>

but when the link is generated in front-end becomes

<a href="http://domain.com/my-specific-page/http://domain.com?atid=1">Referral Link</a>

What is the correct method to get only the affiliate ID and exclude the domain name?

Thank you!

Yes, it will work this way. as long as you apend the "?atid=1" part, it will track it (no matter what the URL is)

and, besides of that, there's the "word" option.. but, for what you're asking, it looks like you don't need that.

I was wondering the same thing but I'm not sure the documentation you referred to is answering the question the way I interpret it.

My question is whether we can use any link on the site to track referral conversions, as long as the affiliate number is appended in the query. So for instance if this is the case then any of the following urls would work:

www.mywebsite.com/?atid=1
www.mywebsite.com/mypage1?atid=1">www.mywebsite.com/mypage1?atid=1
www.mywebsite.com/path/to/mypage2?atid=1

That's how I would expect it to work actually.

The documentation speaks to using a word instead of the affiliate number. In this case you could assign a word to a particular account so it would not be necessary to append the affiliate number in a query. So if you added 'mypage' then as the referral word, the following url would work to track conversions for this affiliate:

www.mywebsite.com/mypage

Could you clarify this for me please?

you can personalize the user's referral URL, yes. Please read this: http://www.joomlathat.com/documentation/affiliate-tracker/referral-word

you would need to set the "ref word" to "mypage/?atid=1" for example.
