The affiliate module possibilities good in the Viart Shop but these are easy to expandable with little work, code.
 
To make a really good, automated affiliate sys could be useful some special blocks, widgets:
 
1. Custom sizable product widget:
- using iFrame
- get product from viart
- set up randomly displayed products by category, price, date, etc.
- set up for display: images size, Title, Price(s), no/short/etc description
- auto affiliate code placing to the url
 
This could be good to provide a really easy to customize ad code to Affiliates.
Sample code:
<iframe src ="http://www.webshop.hu/aff.php?size=120240&category_id=1&sortby=date&af=your_affiliate"
width="120" height="240">
</iframe>
 
2. Additionally could be useful a module for users to generate (and test) the above code:
- dropdown / radio buttons to selet from available sizes
- caregoty filter
- display options selection: image no/tiny/small/large, title, description, prices to display
- auto affiliate code add to the URL
- SAVE function - to save defined affiliate codes, and preview it on the affiliate page (this is a very important think: if affiliates see the result, they will sure on the look of the ad, and will place it)
 
Ok, I know for most its not a priority, but if someone wants to use the affilliate sys he needs to write some code to provide an easy ad-code copy-paste method.
 
I've made a simple block to show flash banners with auto added aff code in the url, and preview. But I think one of the next updates of viart will crash it - couse of the viart's code cahanges. Could be great to get this little feature in the core code.
