<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis will also generate shortcode which you can add to a post or page to display the leaderboard to your site visitors on the frontend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Simply copy the shortcode provided and paste it into the post editor. The leaderboard content will update dynamically, so if any data is updated this will reflect on the leaderboard displayed to your users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Affiliate leaderboards is a great way to add an element of competition to your affiliate program, and allow users to see how well they are doing compared to other affiliates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To get started, simply visit the “Leaderboards” page under the “Coupon Affiliates” menu in your admin area, to generate your first leaderboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Generator Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The leaderboard generator has the following options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Amount of Affiliates<\/strong> \u2013 How many affiliates to display.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Type of Leaderboard<\/strong> \u2013 Table or List.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Order By<\/strong> \u2013 Rank affiliates by Number of Referrals, Commission Earned, or Total Sales.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Timeframe<\/strong> \u2013 All-Time, Current Year (Last 12 Months), Current Month, Specific Month, or Custom Date Range. Choosing a custom date range shows Start Date and End Date fields, plus a Cache Duration (minutes)<\/strong> field that controls how long the results are cached (set to 0 to disable caching). A small note is shown beneath the leaderboard telling visitors how often it updates (for example “Leaderboard updated every 60 minutes”).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Show Total Referrals \/ Show Total Sales \/ Show Total Commission<\/strong> \u2013 Choose which columns are displayed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Affiliate Name<\/strong> \u2013 Show each affiliate’s Display Name or Username.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Highlight logged in user<\/strong> \u2013 Highlights the current user’s row if they appear on the leaderboard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Load leaderboard via AJAX<\/strong> \u2013 Loads the leaderboard after the page has rendered, which helps if you use full-page caching.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Shortcode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The generated shortcode is
[couponaffiliates-leaderboard]<\/code>. You can also add it yourself. Useajax=\"yes\"<\/code> (default) orajax=\"no\"<\/code> to control whether the table loads via AJAX.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe leaderboard is built from the shortcode settings, not from values sent by visitors. After you update a leaderboard, clear any full-page cache so the frontend shows the new settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have customised the word “Affiliate” in Custom Terminology, that wording also applies on the leaderboard. See Shortcodes<\/a> and Translations<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
