Recent Biller Integrations

As part of our continuing commitment to be the most flexible affiliate solution on the market, we are in the process of integrating the following new billers into NATS v3.1:

DHD Media Re-Integration

We have been working closely with DHD Media (DHD) and together we've made significant changes to the NATS/DHD integration. These changes make NATS and DHD communicate better and support cross sales and instant upgrades. We are currently testing these changes and are looking for live beta testers before releasing this re-integration to all clients. Please note: these changes will NOT affect current DHD users. If you want to test the new DHD integration, please submit a ticket at http://clients.toomuchmedia.com. For more information on DHD Media's products and services, please visit http://www.dhdmedia.com.

Recently Fixed Bugs

NATS v4.0

  • NATS no longer shows linkcodes for deleted sites to affiliates.
  • We've recently changed directory permissions so Add New Skin works on all NATS4 servers.
  • Instead of displaying a two-letter country code, NATS now displays the entire country name on the View Member page of the Members Admin.
  • We fixed a bug that prevented the RESELLER_VERIFY and RESELLER_MANUAL_ACTIVATION configuration options from working correctly in some situations.
  • Some versions of NATS4 didn't run the right SQL statement when you manually added a member. We fixed this in the latest version.
  • Some of our scripts didn't use Smarty and couldn't show errors. Now we enable Smarty before trying to send a notification.
  • NATS4 now has the optional ability to keep a log of when members login and what pages they view on the Members Area.
  • We fixed a template bug that prevented you from disabling adtool categories in certain situations.
  • Affiliate emails are stored encrypted in the NATS database, but we forgot to decrypt them before sending a notification email, so emails were never sent. We fixed this bug and affiliates now receive notification emails.
  • You can now add a new adtool with the same URL and description as an adtool you deleted.
  • The site partner's share of site costs was accidentally divided by 100 before being deducted from the payout. We now compute the site partner's costs correctly.
  • NATS accidentally displayed a few biller passwords on administration-only parts of the admin. Only administrators with access to change the password could see these passwords. We fixed this error and passwords are no longer shown.
  • We fixed the error that occurred after you tried deleting members.
  • Some emails to members were HTML encoded twice. The members could still read the emails, but some of the special HTML characters would have looked ugly.
  • NATS4 now supports the Gallery Builder Module.
  • We reduced the amount of memory used by the bulk email mailer.
  • The list of adtools fields now includes a Published Date field.

NATS v3.1

  • The statistics breakdown and detailed statistics pages now show chargebacks and credits.
  • If you log-out while overriding an affiliate, the override is now cancelled.
  • IP addresses set in the following configuration variable will be allowed to make GXBill password posts: $config['GXB_ALLOWED_IPS'].
  • NATS now lists RevUpCard as a default dump format in the Pay Via Admin. For more information regarding RevUpCard and their services, please visit http://www.revupcard.com.

CARMA v1.3

  • The carma_top_rated template function didn't count the number of top rated galleries correctly. We fixed this.
  • The carma_list template function can now tell you how many actors you have in the system.
  • You can now duplicate all or parts of a site into a new site. Find this new feature in the Sites Admin.

On The Hotplate

NATS v4.0

  • NATS will automatically rotate logs. Some logs will be rotated based on their filesize and age; other logs will be rotated regularly so you can easily search them.
  • NATS will be able to email an account representative when a new affiliate signs up.
  • NATS will include a Static Recurring Payout option. When enabled, changes in the program payout won't affect how much affiliates get paid for the recurring payments of members they already referred.
  • A new configuration variable can tell NATS to stop tracking free hosted gallery visitors.
  • NATS will let you add bulk adtools using a single zip file, a set of files, or a comma-separated list of items.
  • The number of adtools counted in the adtool type box includes deleted adtools. We're currently testing a fix.
  • A new option will prevent affiliate account changes from taking effect before an administrator approves the change.

NATS v3.1

  • You will soon be able to specify what hour of the day to send recurring emails by passing an hour number (0 - 23) to the configuration variable, $config['MAIL_TIME'].
  • NATS will no longer put an empty line between the body and footer of a payment dump.
  • You will be able to update Content Adtools by their location.
  • Affiliates will be able to sort their referral report by the number of hits and joins.
  • Before setting up a temporary payout, you will be able to set the following configuration variable to preserve in-house $0 payouts: $config['TEMP_PAYOUT_FIRST']
  • For Netbilling accounts, you will be able to set set the following configuration variable to use expire padding for everything except rebills: $config['MEMBER_NO_EXPIRE_PAD_REBILLS_NETBILLING'].
  • The payvia minimum will not apply to affiliate usernames specified in the following configuration variable: $config['FORCE_PV_MIN_EXCEPTIONS'].

CARMA v1.3

  • CARMA will continue to keep actor information even after you remove an actor from all video sets.
  • The carma_list_videos template function will soon output the video's filesize.
