What does this plugin do?
Registration Process
Member or user registration is done only through PAP. Using the login credentials of the PAP, the user can login into all the WordPress blogs which are connected to the PAP installation through this plugin. The user does not need to register on any of the blog that are connected to the PAP installation.
Login Process
The login page of WordPress can disabled through the plugin in the settings. Login is done only using the custom login form. I have provided with a widget which has to be enabled from the admin panel. This widget takes care of new user registration and login. User registration has to be disabled in the WordPress settings. You have to set the right Role in the WordPress settings for the affiliates who register through the PAP registration process. If the user is new and just registered, when the new user enters the login details, his details is checked with the PAP registration details and a new WordPress user is created if the user does not exists.
Installation of the PAP plugin
Installation is same as any WordPress plugin. You do not need to do any changes to your template pages
Settings
Once you activate the plugin, you have to do the necessary settings. After activation, you will find a link under the tools menu.
This is the screenshot of the papress settings page.
To connect to the PAP installation, first you need to enter the PAP installation URL, PAP server URL, which should be your PAP installation URL/scripts/server.php by default. Then the merchant login details. You need to enter a test affiliate user ID for loading the field ID details.
The additional fields has to be set in the Affiliate Sign-up form settings in your merchant panel. The field ID’s can be identified by using the data shown above. To get this data, click on the Load Field Info. In the settings, you can enable or disable display of Author Info, tracking banner. You need to replace the banner tracking code in the function kish_papress_signup_link($username).
The Campaign ID New Post field should have the campaign ID of the post tracking Campaign. In my program every affiliate has a field which stores the value of the Maximum number of articles that an affiliate can submit in the free program which is not visible to affiliates. Every free affiliate has this set to a number. Once the affiliate upgrades this field is updated according to the payment. Every submission after the limit is declined with sale done by status as declined.
You can view the transactions from WordPress Blog
You can even view the affiliates from the WordPress Admin Panel. I have not added much information, but can be done.
