hello

it will require a bit of coding. we could somehow build a new tab that "loads" an article from your article manager and displays it in the affiliate dashboard

Hi Germinal,

Thank you for your response.

I have managed to create a new tab by adding some modifications to the helpers.php file - obviously, if I update the component these will likely be lost.

static function nav_tabs(){



		$params =JComponentHelper::getParams( 'com_affiliatetracker' );

		$itemid = $params->get('itemid');

		if($itemid != "") $itemid = "&Itemid=" . $itemid;



		$link_conversions = JRoute::_("index.php?option=com_affiliatetracker&view=conversions" . $itemid) ;

		$link_logs = JRoute::_("index.php?option=com_affiliatetracker&view=logs" . $itemid) ;

		$link_account = JRoute::_("index.php?option=com_affiliatetracker&view=accounts" . $itemid) ;

		$link_payments = JRoute::_("index.php?option=com_affiliatetracker&view=payments" . $itemid) ;

		$link_marketings = JRoute::_("index.php?option=com_affiliatetracker&view=marketings" . $itemid) ;

		$link_instructions = JRoute::_("index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=9" . $itemid);



		$view = JRequest::getVar('view');



		$class_conversions = "" ;

		$class_logs = "" ;

		$class_account = "" ;

		$class_payments = "" ;

		$class_marketings = "";

		$class_instructions = "";



		switch($view){

			case "conversions":

				$class_conversions = "class='active'" ;

			break;

			case "logs":

				$class_logs = "class='active'" ;

			break;

			case "accounts":

				$class_account = "class='active'" ;

			break;

			case "payments":

				$class_payments = "class='active'" ;

			break;

			case "marketings":

				$class_marketings = "class='active'" ;

			break;

			case "instructions":

				$class_instructions = "class='active'" ;

		}



		$return = "<ul class='nav nav-tabs'>

		  <li ".$class_conversions."><a href='".$link_conversions."'>". JText::_('CONVERSIONS') ."</a></li>

		  <li ".$class_logs."><a href='".$link_logs."'>". JText::_('TRAFFIC_LOGS') ."</a></li>

		  <li ".$class_account."><a href='".$link_account."'>". JText::_('MY_ACCOUNT') ."</a></li>

		  <li ".$class_payments."><a href='".$link_payments."'>". JText::_('PAYMENTS') ."</a></li>

		  <li ".$class_marketings."><a href='".$link_marketings."'>". JText::_('MARKETINGS') ."</a></li>

		  <li ".$class_instructions."><a href='#' id='instructions'>". JText::_('Instructions') ."</a></li>

		</ul>";



		return $return ;

I initially added a link to an article but unfortunately, this did not load in the tab itself so it wasn't really ideal as it takes the user away from the affiliate interface. To try and keep the coding to a minimum, I have used Engagebox so that when a user clicks the 'Instructions' tab, I now get a popup displaying the information. I think this would be good for a future release however, as some explanation is needed if a user wants to advertise a specific page.
