Hello,

Those on v2, wishing to move across might find this link of use:

yeah thanks GeorgeGaz,

one question i read somewhere (possibly on the AW shop window page?) that affiliates will need to make £75 per month to continue using the API V3? is this true?

thanks

p.s

how does one Create a writable cache directory???
and i dont have a config.inc.php? just a constants.inc which is
<?php

// Enables or disables the WSDL caching feature.
// @see http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/soap.configuration.php#ini.soap.wsdl-cache-enabled
ini_set("soap.wsdl_cache_enabled", 0);

// Constants for both APIs
define('API_VERSION', 2);
define('API_USER_TYPE', 'affiliate'); // (affiliate || merchant)
define('API_USERNAME', ''); // You affiliate || merchant ID (e.g: 12345)
define('API_PASSWORD', ''); // You API password (found in your userarea)

//AW API constants
define('AW_WSDL', 'http://api.affiliatewindow.com/v'.API_VERSION.'/'.ucfirst(API_USER_TYPE).'Service?wsdl');
define('AW_NAMESPACE', 'http://api.affiliatewindow.com/');
define('AW_SOAP_TRACE', false); // turn OFF when finished testing

// PS API constants
define('PS_WSDL', 'http://api.productserve.com/v'.API_VERSION.'/ProductServeService?wsdl');
define('PS_NAMESPACE', 'http://api.productserve.com/');
define('PS_SOAP_TRACE', false); // turn OFF when finished testing

// Set more constants based on API choice
if (API=='AW') {
define('API_WSDL', AW_WSDL);
define('API_NAMESPACE', AW_NAMESPACE);
define('API_SOAP_TRACE', AW_SOAP_TRACE);
}
elseif (API=='PS') {
define('API_WSDL', PS_WSDL);
define('API_NAMESPACE', PS_NAMESPACE);
define('API_SOAP_TRACE', PS_SOAP_TRACE);
}
else {
die('You HAVE to select the appropriate api (AW/PS)');
}

Hello Luke,

For more information regarding this please see the v3 Performance Criteria on this page:
ShopWindow v3 (http://www.shopwindowforum.com/showthread.php?t=1296).

As for the cache directory, you will need to create a new directory called "cache" via your FTP Client and then edit the permission settings to read 777. For v3 this folder is to be found in the same place as the index.php.

ok thanks mate,

i have setup a new folder in my root director and have set the permissions as follows
(read | write | execute)
owner = Y | Y | Y
group = Y | Y | Y
all users = Y | Y | Y

not sure where the 777 comes into it?

sorry if im being thick :D

am pretty new at all this lol

many thanks
Luke

http://www.linux.org/lessons/beginner/l14/lesson14b.html

And

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod

Although the wiki explain is a tad more complex.

Read the first one and get to understand it... It's something really basic and something that is pretty essential in the world of interwebbery.

Amusing though really, your messing with the API, but not knowing CHMOD... Amusing simply, because that's normally my way of things, never bother with instructions or manuals, just go straight in at the deep end then end up backtracking.

With the net though, you do need to know the basics of this stuff to get the best of this side of things. If your new to all of this as you say, you could do worse than doing some of those lessons on the Linux site, some pretty useful info to be learned.

Hi Amoochi,

thanks for your reply :)

i have read and kinda understand chmod :D

so if i wanted to add permissions to the file

lets say i have this
$ chmod 777 cache

where do i insert this code?
and am i right in having setup a new folder called cache?

thanks
and sorry again for being dim, give me a virtual slap if you want :D

[ljackson09]

p.s im a windows user :), am currently searching google for instructions...

where it says Update the config.inc.php file as follows

i have no config file just the constants.inc file,

details posted above...
how do i change them to get it working with v3?

thanks
Luke

[ljackson09]

Luke
