Scud-affiliates is a great affiliate script from scudworkz.com [1]. Sadly, Ulysses (a.k.a coolaid) the owner of scudworks disappeared along with the site...
So I did not want this good script to be lost so searched the internet and found a copy. After fixing the script and the installer to work on more servers I have repackaged it into version 2.1. Here are the install instructions.
1) First Upload the affiliates folder into your server.
2) Next step is to chmod the "affiliates" directory and the sub directory named "buttons" to 777 (an easy process with any ftp editor). This gives the PHP scripts the "rights" to change/add files in that directory.
3) Now you must install this script, so go to your server (http) and go into the area where you uploaded the "affiliates" folder, then go into the install directory (e.g. http://scudworkz.com/affiliates/install/). Enter the correct info accordingly and proceed. If all goes well, you should be able to proceed and move on to creating an admin.
4) Once the installation is complete, you can include the entire list of affiliates by including the index.php file in the "affiliates" folder. For example, if you have a page on your server (lets say index.php) and you want to display the entire list of affiliates, add and that area will be replaced by the list of affiliates. Simple as that, make sure you include the full path including the http://.
It is also recommended that you change the "affiliates" folder (but not the "buttons" folder) back to non-writable stasis.
Other: If you want to display random affiliates (you specify how many), add
<?php
include("http://domain.com/affiliates/random.php");
?>to any page you want to display several random affiliates.
To log in to your account, you can go to any page where you displayed the entire affiliate list and find the "Admin Control Panel" link. OR you can go into your domain and go to the affiliates/admin/ directory. That would complete the installation, If you didn't successfully create it, you can always go to Scudworkz.com and post on the forum or send an email.
