vBulletin and iDevAffiliate Integration - vBulletin.org Forum
Version: 3.7.2
Description: I have been searching around for a plugin to allow vBulletin and iDevIntegration (for affiliate management of vbulletin paid subscriptions) and could not find any.
I contacted iDevAffiliate and their response was that they did not know enough
about vbulletin to create a plugin themselves but they explain what I had to do
on the iDevAffiliate side to make things work.
Thanks to vbulletin.org members Marco van Herwaarden, Dismounted, Delphiprogrammi, Opserty for pointing me in the right direction as this is my first vbulletin plugin.
This mod integrates iDevAffiliate commission tracking.
NOTE: Keep in mind, I assume that you are fairly well versed and comfortable with editing files/templates and following the flow of things.
