Landing on home page

Any affiliate network needs a beautiful landing page. You can host it on a separate domain or embed it directly into the AlterCPA home page for unauthorized users.

Before you start, go to the "Control - Settings - Skins" section and activate skins support. Create new skin to use it on your network.

Technical requirements for layout

You can rework the finished layout yourself or immediately transfer our technical requirements to your layout designer. A site designed according to these requirements is pulled onto the system within a couple of minutes.

The login link should point to /login or /signin
The registration link must point to /register or /signup
The password recovery link should point to /recover or /forgot
Using the registration form on the landing page is undesirable
The login form should use the fields in_user for login and in_pass for password, action /login, method post.
All CSS files must be located in the path /skin/xxx/css, for example /skin/xxx/css/main.css
All JS files must be located in the path /skin/xxx/js, for example /skin/xxx/js/script.js
All images should be located in the path /skin/xxx/img, for example /skin/xxx/img/logo.png
All other resources must be located in folders inside /skin/xxx and have corresponding absolute paths to this folder.

In this memo, replace xxx with your skin folder. In case of difficulties in understanding on the part of the layout designer, explain that you can only use the safe path skin with a subfolder, other paths can be used by the system in its needs.

Adding your landing page to the system

After receiving the finished layout from your specialist, you need to connect it to the system. Ideally, this should be done by a technically competent specialist.

Connect via FTP to your server.
Go to your network folder and open the skin folder, and in it your skin folder.
Upload the css, js, img and other resource folders from the layout into the skin folder.
Go to "Control - Settings - Skins", open the "Templates" of the required skin.
Find the home file in the list of templates and click "Add".
Click "Edit" next to the added home file.
Copy the contents of the layout file index.html into the editor and save.
Go to "Control - Settings - Appearance"
Check the box "Use front page instead of login form" and save.
Open your network in a private tab and enjoy the new design.

If the layout is prepared in accordance with the requirements, your new landing page will open. In case of problems, it may be necessary to rework the layout and specify the correct paths.
