When adding a new member for an Affiliate, the only fields available are Username, Email, First Name, Last Name. 1. Where can the administrator specify the password (or what is the default password)? 2. Since no email is sent as a notification, how can the new member access their password? The two methods I see to work around this right now is to either manually modify that Users profile or manually notify the User that they need to use the Username and Email address to reset their password. Thank you. -Alex logicblock attached the following image(s):  add-member-affiliate.gif (4kb) downloaded 49 time(s).You cannot view/download attachments. Try to login or register. |

I'm pretty sure they can't log in to view their Affiliate Report unless you hook their existing Affilliate account with their Shop account.
I would love to tie them together automatically somehow, I kinda gave up on my Affiliates as it is alot of work to individually email everyone and ask them to create an account and what their shop username is, lol. |

Yup! That is one of the concerns I was alluding to. Perhaps a thought for future releases.
I am still confused with regards to the password. If it is not generated for the Affiliate, why have that "Add new Member" feature at all? I think the same issue applies to Manufacturers.

Hello Alex.
The page that allows you to create an affiliate uses a control called “UserPicker”. This control allows you to create a new user by entering a username, email, first and last name. The password is randomly generated:
“u.Password = Membership.UserAccount.GeneratePassword(12)”
You could easily add a new text box to this control and do something like…
u.Password = myPasswordField.Text.Trim
You would want to encrypt the password with whatever method your store is configured to use. If you need help with this, I would recommend looking at the code in “Bvadmin > People > Users_Edit.aspx.vb |
