General Settings:

Automatically Approve URL's:

Members will submit their URL's for approval, to be used later in ptp advertising campaigns, its recommended to keep this off.

Hide credits related headings:

This plug-in can be set to credits members in three ways:

1- Directly to members cash account.
2- Directly to members points account.
3- In Credits that can be converted later to cash or points.

Credits related heading appears in the ptp submenu, has info about credits earn by the member and how much they worth in cash or points, example:

If you are using direct cash or points, then no need to display credits related info, you can hide them by turning this option on.

Log Details For Every Hit: ( Uses lots of database space )

You can track each and every hit by having this option on, since it will consume lot of system resources, its recommended to have it off unless there is a real need to have it on, in case you are suspecting a member for sending fake or bad traffic, you can log the traffic sent by this member separately ( will be discussed later ) rather than having it logged for all traffic sent by all members.

Clear Database Logs Older Than:

This plug-in keeps information about  members earnings statistics, hits sources, valid/invalid hits up to 30 days, after this they will be removed, if you choose "never", then the plug-in will not save any earnings info and  you won't be able to see daily members earnings, also members won't be able to see their earnings statistics, and which sites are giving them highest earnings, its recommend to keep the log for at least 7 days.

Credits Exchange: (Price for 1000 credits Minimum exchange amount)

In case you are using credits ( not cash or points ) then enter the credits value in cash and the minimum amount a member needs to earn in credits before being able to exchange them for cash. Any value entered here will be ignored if you credit members accounts directly in cash or points.

Anti-Cheat System

Maximum allowed proxy traffic: Percent per promoter
Minimum valid traffic: Percent per promoter
Auto-suspend: On hign proxy traffic
On low percent of valid hits
Redirect bad traffic off the PTP pages: Off On
Redirect URL:

In "Minimum hits prior to examine traffic" enter the minimum amount needed before applying the auto suspend options, example, if you set it to be 200 hits, and below you entered 45% as the max allowed proxy traffic, then this script will examine the traffic sent by a member at 200 hits, if it finds that 45% or more of the traffic ( 90+ hits ) were proxy hits, this member will get auto-suspended, and any traffic this member sends after being suspended will be directed in to the URL you entered in "Redirect bad traffic off the PTP pages" Field, its highly recommended to have a URL to redirect bad or fake traffic, and for this URL its also highly recommended to have it on a different server for the reasons:

Bad or fake traffic can be tracked by ads networks too ( like bidvertiser, popupad.net ) if they noticed that you have high percentage of proxy or fake traffic, they may close your affiliate accounts without paying you.

Bad or fake traffic is waste of server resources, members do not get credited for them and you are not getting paid for them, by redirecting them to somewhere else you save your server resources.

The above too applies also if somebody decided to attack your ptp page with fake traffic trying to overload it or get you banned from ads networks.

How to set a new ptp page:

1- Create a tier group, notice here that a tier group is not a tier, tier groups can be empty ( no tiers under them ) or unlimited number of tiers, while a tier is a group of countries that must has at least one country under it. You must have at least one tier group before being able to set a ptp page, to create a tier group follow these simple steps:

- Cick on "Tier Groups" in admin menu, then click on "Create new tiers group" link.

- Enter a name, select the crediting method, and enter the CPM for valid hits sent to the ptp that will use this tier group, if cash or points crediting type was chosen, amounts will be added to the members account directly, credits need to be converted to cash or points before adding them to the member account, according to the conversion setting and rate you previously set in general settings.

- Click save, the new tier group should be listed, if you do not wish to use teirs ( credit promoters depending on the visitor country ) then move to next step, otherwise click "add new tier" link to define new tiers countries and values.
 

- After you finish creating a tier group, click on "Promote Pages" in admin menu, then on "Create new page"  fill in the info, then click save.

You shoud prepare a ptp page its file name is the one you entered in "Page Filename:*" field and at the following code to its top, before the <html> tag:

<!-- ptp code start -->

<?php
include("setup.php");
include('../scripts/plugins/nsptp/ptphits_inc.php');

$ptp = nsptp_hit(FriendlyNameHere);

if ($ptp['credited']) {
$reward_msg = "User ". $_GET['refid'] ." received ". display_cpm2single($ptp['value'], $ptp['vtype'])." for showing you this page.";
} else {
$reward_msg = "User ". $_GET['refid'] ." has not been credited for your visit.";
}

?>

<!-- ptp code end -->

Note: Change FriendlyNameHere to the name you entered in the ptp admin for this page.

"User ". $_GET['refid'] ." received ". display_cpm2single($ptp['value'], $ptp['vtype'])." for showing you this page." will be displayed if the hit was valid and "User ". $_GET['refid'] ." has not been credited for your visit."; will be displayed in the hit was invalid, both can be changed to any other sentence you want,  notice that :

Use $_GET['refid']   to display the promoter's username, display_cpm2single($ptp['value'] to display reward value, and $ptp['vtype'] to display the crediting method, i.e. cash, points or credits.

Note: Included with the package, a basic ptp.php page, can be used as a promote page after adding the friendly name and your own ads codes.

- The new page info and URL to promote now appear in members area ( http://www.yoursite.com/pages/ptpmain.php )

- Your page should be ready for use now, make sure you add approved sites, or to save you mush needed time, contact us at support@cashplugins.com to add a default list of approved site, then you edit the list to remove unwanted sites and/or add new approved sites.

How to Ban sites:

click on "Banner Sites" links in admin meny, to add new sites to the banned list, traffic from banned sites are not credited.

Rotating Ads:

A rotating ad is a URL rotating in the ptp page, there are two types of rotating ptp campaigns, normal campaigns, these are sold to advertisers or redeemed by member, and administrator's campaigns, these will show to the visitor if the hit was invalid, by having these two types, advertisers won't spent much bandwidth on invalid hits, at the same time invalid hits are not wasted since visitor will view new ads (admin ads ) in their repeat visits, allowing the site admin to earn from invalid hits.

Click on Create new campaign or Create administrator's campaign to create new sold or admin ptp campaigns.
