Experiences with porting to CMS?

[boldlygoing]

Hi Mark, et al,

Has anyone had the experience of using Post Affiliate (free or Pro) with any of the nuke based content management systems? If so, did you actually fully port PAP(or free) into the CMS's data bases or just link out to it.

Basically, we are curious as to what the curve would be like to truly integrate this application completely into the CMS we use (CPG-Nuke).

Like many of the visitors here, and many more out there, I have either used or evaluated "many" of the affiliate program options out there for web site owners. While I haven't "used" this one, everything I am reading here tells me that it might not only be the right one, but worth paying for the pro version. We might like to see a longer guarantee period, especially considering that we (like a lot of folks) don't currently have affiliate users that we could immediately populate into the system to adequately test it. I would think that 30 days might be long enough to only get it set up, and truly/fully integrated into ones site. My guess is that at least a 90 day period would be better evaluation time to really work at allowing it to get more fully populated.

Just my thoughts. We do like what we see.

Thanks much.

Hi,

nobody ported PAP to any nuke based system yet. PAP (and free version as well) are just linked out.

I have no experience integrating applications with nuke-based portal systems, and it is not the priority for me to do it now.

If you want to do it by yourself, I can provide you the commercial version with full sources under the condition that:
- the ported version of PAP will be available to everybody, but as a special version of PAP, which means people can use it only if they buy license of PAP

I don't know how big changes will be required to be made in PAP during integration, and I prefer to discuss the changes first. I'm willing to change some parts of PAP to make it easier to integrate, rather than having two versions of the same system.
The core of PAP should remain the same for both normal and nuke versions of PAP.
I can give you any support you'll need, answer your questions, explain code, etc. during integration.


I will consider about longer money back guarantee, as I believe in the product. On the other side, webmasters are responsible for their affiliate program (i don't mean software part), and if it is not bringing money, it it not fault of any software.
If affiliate system doesn't have all functionality you want, there is always possibility to customize it (also for free, if it can be reused) or send your feature wish and wait for new version.
