HI all
I've just released version 2.4.2 of the affiliate plugin. This version has a couple of fixes as well as some new functionality related to advanced affiliate settings.
Fixes:
Updated translation file - if you are working on a translation for the plugin, can you ensure that you use this .po / .mo file as your base.
IE9 cookie retention - IE9 had a habit of not retaining affiliate cookies, this version fixes that issue.
New functionality:
The advanced affiliate settings allows a user to enter a URL in their profile and any referrals from that URL will be counted as clicks for that user. This new version highlights any users that has that option set in the affiliate admin area, as well as introduces a "validation" procedure to ensure that the user actually "owns" or has some control over the URL they are entering (think google webmaster tools).
To enable this new option you can either edit the config.php file (in affiliateincludes/includes) and set the option AFFILIATE_VALIDATE_REFERRER_URLS to 'yes' or add the following line to your wp-config.php file

It's on the roadmap, we're slowly following the google verification methods and this was the quickest and easiest one to get implemented to get us started.
Hi
You can use the current affiliate add-ons to create new ones for any system you want to integrate, as long as that system has wordpress actions and filters that allow other systems to be integrated (i.e. they'll need to pass details about a purchase, who purchased, amount, etc...)
+1 for validation through dns records ie, a text record. I only ask because if the affiliate is on a multisite install they can't upload a html file but they can change their dns records.

Does the affiliate plugin support multiple tiers?

Hey Barry,
Thanks for the update! I've just started using the Affiliate plugin and especially the link-masking feature will come in handy.
Cheers,
