The Offerit configuration admin works in conjunction with the Offerit configuration file, allowing clients a great deal of flexibility in customizing their Offerit. The configuration file is stored in the Offerit directory on your server as includes/config.php.

The Configuration Admin

Several tabs let you find configuration options:

  • The Project Settings options are the primary Offerit settings. Some options can't be edited; if you need these options changed, please submit a ticket
  • The Affiliates options set affiliate defaults, requirements, postbacks, and other various affiliate settings.
  • The Display options set default displays for various areas in Offerit.
  • The Email options tell Offerit when to send emails. Offerit only sends email if you enter a subject in any of the fields.
  • The Logging options change what Offerit logs.
  • The Misc options contain additional settings that do not fit into the other categories.
  • The Notifications options contain settings for ignoring admin notifications.
  • The Postback options allow you to further configure postback actions.
  • The Security options configure who can access secure areas of your Offerit commission. Be careful editing these settings, as you can easily lock yourself out
  • The Visitor options set tracking options, as well as signup form settings.

Configuration Options

The following is a breakdown of categories and sub-categories that you can find your configuration admin settings in.

You'll find the following settings in the Offerit Configuration Admin.

Project Settings

The Configuration Admin's "Project Settings" section contains settings that base settings that apply to your Offerit install. The important settings in this section include:

  • Project - Allows you to configure the name of your Offerit install, as well as domain and time zone.
    • PROJECT_NAME / NICE_NAME - Used on various Offerit templates to print the name of your Offerit. For example: NICE_NAME is used to name the news section on customers.php. You can change these to anything.
    • PROJECT_HOSTNAME - Your commissions's domain. If you change this, you should setup an Apache virtual host for the hold value so that your old links continue to work. Warning: setting this to a bad value will break Offerit.
  • Affiliate Analytics
    • TRACK_AFFILIATE_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS - Turn on if you want to track the affiliate area using Google Analytics software.
    • GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_PROPERTY_ID - If the above option has been turned on, you will need to provide your Web Property ID, or UA number, which has been given to you by Google.
  • Period Configuration - Change how long pay periods are, as well as payout delays and if you automatically store payments.
    • STORE_PAYMENTS_BY_PERIOD - If there are missing historical payments that need to be built, this option will store them as if they were built normally.
    • PAYOUT_AUTOSTORE - Stores payments immediately after they are formed. This prevents you from needing to manually store payments, so you can always see what needs to be paid to your affiliates.

Affiliates

  • Signup - Configure settings that take place when affiliates sign up for your commission.
  • Account Changes - Set whether verification is required when affiliates change their account settings.
  • Payment Settings - Sets requirements and limitations on affiliate payouts.
    • FORCE_PV_MIN - If the affiliate's desired payout is less than your Payvia minimum, Offerit will automatically use the Payvia minimum when storing payments.
    • UPDATE_PV_MIN - If the affiliate's desired payout is less than your Payvia minimum, Offerit will automatically change the affiliate's payout to the Payvia minimum.
    • For the following four settings, your changes will only apply to the settings for new signups on the main display page, creatives page, stats page, and account page. In Offerit version 4.0.74 or greater, there is an option to force this value to overwrite the current value for all affiliates.
      • REQUIRE_PAYOUT_APPROVAL
      • DEFAULT_PAYVIA
      • AFFILIATE_JOIN_PAYMENT
  • Tiers - Include or exclude certain statistics when counting tiered sales.
  • Creatives - Enable or disable creative date limitations.
  • Link Codes - Choose if you want to use a default Commission ID when none is selected.
  • Postbacks - Allow affiliates to receive postbacks regarding customer activity.
  • Custom Flags - Define what you want Flags (found in the Affiliates Admin) to mean.
  • Offer Partner - Choose which transactions pay out to offer partners.
