Affiliates

The Affiliates screens provide a read-only view of the affiliate partner program managed by SolidAffiliate. MIDDAG Account reads data from SolidAffiliate's tables through an adapter pattern -- affiliate records are not created or edited in MIDDAG Account. When a new affiliate is approved in SolidAffiliate, MIDDAG Account automatically provisions an AFL-class entitlement to track the partnership.

How affiliates connect to MIDDAG Account

The integration works as follows:

1. A partner signs up through the SolidAffiliate registration form.
2. An admin approves the affiliate in SolidAffiliate.
3. SolidAffiliate fires the solid_affiliate/affiliate/approved hook.
4. MIDDAG Account's AffiliateHooks listener creates an AFL-class entitlement for the partner.
5. The affiliate appears in MIDDAG Account with their referral data.

The SolidAffiliate plugin must be active for affiliate data to appear. If SolidAffiliate is not installed, the Affiliates menu item is hidden.

SolidAffiliate integration status

At the top of the Affiliates screen, a status bar shows:

• SolidAffiliate Plugin -- Active (green) or Not Found (red)

If SolidAffiliate is not active, the screen shows a notice explaining that the affiliate features require the SolidAffiliate plugin.
