To return the number of desired decimals when displaying an earnings total in the table.

Parameters

affiliates_referral_amount_decimals

The default precision used to handle referral amounts is 2 decimals. If you want to use a higher precision, for example to use 4 decimals in referral amount calculations instead of 2, add the following line to your wp-config.php:

define( 'AFFILIATES_REFERRAL_AMOUNT_DECIMALS', 4 );

A second constant can be used to modify the decimals used for display, for example:

define( 'AFFILIATES_REFERRAL_AMOUNT_DECIMALS_DISPLAY', 4 );

The maximum allowed precision is up to 6 decimals. The default used for both constant is 2 decimals.

The affiliates_referral_amount_decimals filter can be used to further modify these values dynamically, but we recommend to set the constants in wp-config.php. The filter will override the constants.

The filter receives two parameters, first the decimals to be used (default is 2) and second the context (which will be either the empty string '' or 'display'). The filter must return the decimals to be used.

The following example function illustrates the case where 6 decimals are used for calculations and 2 for display. Again, it’s better to just define the constants in your wp-config.php, but you can put this in your functions.php:

function affiliates_change_decimals_example( $decimals, $context ) {
    if ( $context === 'display' ) {
        $decimals = 2;
    } else {
        $decimals = 6;
    }
    return $decimals;
}
add_filter(
    'affiliates_referral_amount_decimals',
    'affiliates_change_decimals_example',
    10,
    2
);

Before you modify your wp-config.php or your functions.php, make sure to make a full backup of your site and database. You should also test this on a staging site before using it on your production site.

    $variables['c'] = 10;
    return $variables;

affiliates_process_tiers_referral

The return value of this filter determines whether tiers will be processed for a referral. When a new referral is recording a commission for an affiliate and tiers are enabled, this filter shall return true if the system should also record referrals for the downline of the referring affiliate. If this filter returns true, tiers in the downline of the affiliate to which the referral identified by $referral_id has been granted will also be granted referrals for the related transaction if appropriate. The filter can be used to avoid recording tier referrals under certain conditions or to implement a replacement method for processing tiers.

The global $affiliates_enterprise_doing_tiers is only set to true after this filter has been evaluated and returned true. The value of this global can be used to ascertain whether a referral being recorded is related to tier processing (i.e. referrals being recorded for additional commissions in the downline of an affiliate) or a normal referral is directly recorded for a transaction.

Parameters

– $process boolean whether to process tiers for the referral

This filter will only be invoked if the affiliates_process_tiers_referral allowed further processing.

The global $affiliates_enterprise_doing_tiers will have the value true when this filter is being evaluated as the filter is invoked while tier referrals are processed.

This filter can be used to implement an alternative handler to process tier referrals or to decide whether tier referrals should be recorded for the individual referral identified by $referral_id.
