We have just started implementation of Site Replication for PAP4 and would like to present our ideas how it should look like. We would like to hear your opinions and suggestions on this.
In PAP 3 it was possible to have only one replicated site so we decided to implement Replicated site as a banner / promo material in PAP4. This means that you will be able to create as many replicated sites as you wish.
Following image shows how the replicated site definition should look like:
- Replicated site banner type
Replicated site URL
First decision you will have to make is how the url of replicated site will look like. There are two options:
1. Default location
- this will work without any further setup. You will just specify name or the replicated site which will appear in link
2. Custom location
- replicated site can have any url you like. You may have PAP installed at www.pap.com but your main site is at www.sale.com. You can have replicated url sites look like this www.sale.com/promo/Affiliate_Refid/. This solution will require you to put .htaccess file generated by PAP to promo/ folder on www.sale.com
Content of the replicated site:
After you decide how the url of the replicated site should look like you have to make some content for it. This content can be any html, php, jpg, ... files. You will upload all files to the specified folder in PAP. In these files you will be able to use variables like {$refid}, {$username}, {$firstname}, {$lastname}, ... and PAP will ensure that they are replaced with correct values.
What do you think about this?

I think Michal forgot to mention, that biggest difference between implementation in PAP3 and currently suggested solution is, that in PAP3 were files copied for each affiliate physically in separated folder. This cause overhead on server and also limitation was space used on hard drive. In PAP4 will be physically files stored just on one place and all will be computed on the fly.
I love it... More importantly, I need it! Keep up the good work. PAP4 will soon corner the market. Rich
Site replication is implemented and will be available in next release on Wednesday (April 1st). Till then you can check documentation for this feature: http://support.qualityunit.com/knowledgebase/post-affiliate-pro/features-and-functions/site-replication.html
This is helpful, but I am new to all of this. I struggled getting my replicated site working, now it is finally going and I cant find any information on how to implement the variables in my website. I know it is probably basic programing, but I am sure a lot of people that try to use this program have limited or no programming knowledge. A little more documentation would be appreciated.
Thank you for your feedback, we will try to improve our documentation of replicated website. Maybe I will record any video how to setup easy replicated website.
