| count | Max number of linkcodes to display | Any whole number greater than zero | None. Displays all matching linkcodes | count="10" |
| assign_prefix | Prefix output variables with this word. (Click link for details) | Any valid Smarty variable name | None. (No prefix is used) | assign_prefix="myvar" |

| order | Change the ordering of the link codes returned by the template function | (see Notes section below) | s.name, t.name | order="s.name, t.name" |
Output
By default, displays a list of link codes using the template function_list_linkcodes. and places the linkcodes in the {$linkcodes} array. The linkcodes array contains six associatives:
- program I.D.
- site I.D.
- tour I.D.
- adtool I.D.
- sub I.D #1
- sub I.D. #2
Each linkcode will always have a program I.D., site I.D., and tour I.D.; they may have adtool and sub I.D.s. For example, the following variable contains the linkcode for the program one, site two, and tour three:
{$linkcodes.1.2.3.0.0.0}
Examples
Listing Linkcodes in an Email
Each affiliate that receives an email with the following function call will get their linkcodes for the program and site you specify.
{nats_list_linkcodes userid={$loginid} data_only=1 program=program_number site=site_number}
Replace program_number with the program I.D. number. Replace site_number with the site I.D. number.
Inserting the natscode in an Emailed Tour Link
Each affiliate that receives an email with the following text and Smarty code will get the link to the tour with their natscode embedded in the URL:
URL?nats={nats_list_linkcodes userid=$toid program=program_number site=site_number
tour=tour_number data_only=1 code_only=1}{$linkcodes.program_number.site_number.tour_number.0.0.0}
Replace URL with the URL to the tour. Replace program_number with the program I.D. number. Replace site_number with the site I.D. number. Replace tour_number with the tour I.D. number. For a tour on example.com/tour, program number one, site number two, and tour number three, the code looks like:
http://example.com/tour?nats={nats_list_linkcodes userid=$toid program=1 site=2 tour=3 data_only=1 code_only=1}{$linkcodes.1.2.3.0.0.0}
Notes
If you are looking to add a NATS code to adtool links in an e-mail then we recommend using the nats_encode template function.
To make an array reference, create the array using the nats_add_to_array function.
You can order the link codes by site, tour and program. You can select which fields you wish to order by based on the columns available within the database table. To order by a column within the site table, you must prefix the column with 's.' (Example: order="s.siteid"). To order by the tour table, you must prefix the column with 't.' and the program table by 'p.'.
