help need with integration of idev and chronoforms

Hello admin,
i need to integrate idevaffilate with chronoforms.
i have a form which is used for offline mode tracking in idevaffilate .The issues is that the idev needs the promo code to be posted to http://www.yoursite.com/idevaffilate/idevaffilate.php. Also i want the data to be saved to database.so how do i put it into the idev form to have it working ?attached herewith is the copy of the form.

Sameer

Hi Sameer,

Can you send me either the code from the idevaffiliate.php page or the Idev Joomla plugin so that I can see what they are looking to have passed over?

Bob

Hi Sameer,

Hi Sameer,

Please tell me how do you want your form to integrate with idev ? please tell me the steps or the requirements because I have never seen idev and will not understand "integrate with idev", if so I may be able to help you do it!

Hello Max,
The idevaffilate system works in this way.

If a person A becomes a affiliate for a particular website using idev he gets a promotional code and a affiliate url.If person A gives this promotional code or affilate url to the person B and if person B signs up or do shopping on virtuemart . he gets a commission . now there are 2 methods of systems in that. online and offline. the online mode works fine while the promotional code method needs the promotional code to be "POSTED" to the idevaffilate link.so that it tracks the users.
so i need the form to post the promotional code to the idevaffiliate page and save data to the database.

the files for idev and sample code is attached in previous post.

let me know if u know have some query

Good, use the CURL plugin to send this data to the idev, set the target URL as : http://www.yoursite.com/idevaffilate/idevaffilate.php and define a hidden field at your form to hole the promo code, say its called "promo" and see what is the name of the promo field the idev needs, say "promocode" and then set it in the CURL settings to :
promo=promocode

you may need to test this or enable debugging in the plugin but this is the main idea to get it working! you must have CURL at this server too!

Hello Bob,

Hi sameer,

First, check that you have the CURL Plugin enabled on the Plugins tab for your form. And check that CURL Is enabled on your site (see PHPinfo in the Admin Info area).

If it is then please post screen shots of the CURL plugin configuration so we can try to work out what's wrong.

Hello Bob,
The curl is installed on the server as well as the plugin is enabled.please have a look at the screenshots and the backup of the form.

Sameer

Hi Sameer,

Bob has made some fixes to the CURL plugin file and another file and tested it on a user site and confirmed its working perfectly now, here they are:

1st file need to go to components/com_chronocontact/plugins/cf_CURL.php

2nd file goes to administrator/components/com_chronocontact/helpers/plugin.php

Max

Later: I updated the attachment - there was one stray debug message showing when it shouldn't. Bob

Hi Sameer & Max,

There was a stray debug message showing with the version Max posted. I've fixed this and updated the file attached to Max's post.

If you have form Debug On this version will show a message to say that the CURL transaction has executed (but that doesn't necessarily mean that it was successful).

Hello Bob and Max,
Thanks for your help. this thing worked fine. you guys rock 8) 8)

Bob,

You may remember you had helped me with finishing the Zoho web to lead using the CURL plugin.

Just to let you know that it is working perfect for me. Thanks so much to you and Max for all of this!! You guys are unbeatable in your help!

I've just downloaded this updated CURL plugin and it did take away the error.

I'm having one small error in the CURL plugin when I populate it. It pulls up all the fields used in the form - but for some reason when email is the field - despite if I type "Email" - it will return "E-mail" when I open the CURL plugin again with the form. As long as I don't open it up after I change it - I'm fine and my Zoho will populate this field fine. But if I open it up and don't change it back without the dash, then my zoho CRM doesn't recognize the field.

I have no idea why it is inserting a dash for the email field only. I've looked in the cf_CURL.php file and can't quite figure it out.

Thanks,

Stan

Hi Stan,

Apologies, there is a problem in the current Plugin Helper. I tries to do language look ups on the Drop-Down values. This makes sense in some contexts but not for values like 'id' which gets translaed into 'ID' or 'email' which becomes 'E-mail' :-(

I've attached a modified beta copy of the plugin and the helper.

The helper needs to go into administrator/components/com_chronocontact/helpers/; the plugin file into the components/com_chronocontact/plugins/

Are you using any other plugins? If so, the amended plugin helper file may affect them. Let me know if you see any problems.

Bob

Later: attachment removed - see later posts

Bob,

Were you meaning to include plugin.php as the "helper" file in this file - cf_plugins_3.zip?

I found only cv_CURL.php and cf_jooomla_registration.php

I figured I'd see plugin.php from your description.

Thanks.

Stan

Hi Stan,

Apologies - brain not in gear today.

Hello Bob,
The idev and chronoforms integration was working fine last week . but later it stopped.i had attached the backup of the form and the curl settings are same as old one.

sameer

Hi sameer,

I'm afraid that Bob is off for 2 weeks and he will not be able to answer you till then, if it was working then something at your end or their end stopped it, please take the time to examine it, you may drop Bob an email or PM and he will check it when he is back, you may post some screenshots for me here to check quickly, I have lots of duties now and it may be hard for me to do more debugging! :?

Regards
Max

Hello Bob,

How are you? i am back after long time just to get some help from you. I need to have a drop downlist in virtuemart and need that data to be submitted to idev so i was planning to use chronoforms because it has curl support. so is it possible for making a registration form for virtuemart in chronoforms?as that will solve all my issues or is there any method to call chronoforms in virtuemart registration method and with a single hit of registration buttton u can have both form's data submitted to idev and registration too.

let me know

thanks
sameer

Hi sameer,

As always the answer is 'probably yes' but I don't know virtuemart well and I don't even know what idev is :-(

If you can specify what the forms need to do in terms of writing to tables then we can get a better idea.

Bob
