== Changelog ==
= .2.5 =
* ENHANCEMENT: Now tracks visits as well as conversions.
* ENHANCEMENT: Added Delete link to Affiliates admin page.

= .2.4.1 =
* Replaced $wpdb->escape calls with esc_sql to avoid notice.

= .2.4 =
* Fixed SQL bug that came up on some setups (typically Windows-based) where affiliates wouldn't insert. (Thanks, Jose Fernandez)

= .2.3 =
* Added affiliates link to admin bar.
* Affiliate report export to CSV.
* Frontend report for designated affiliate users.

= .2.2 =
* Will add a $0 invoice if someone checks out for a free level with an affiliate code set.
* Added a check to the notification code in the settings header so it wouldn't display NULL in the notification space if WP passes that back.

= .2.1 =
* When checking for an affiliate id on a previous order, checking by user_id instead of subscription_transaction_id. This means that affiliates will be given credit when users upgrade... not just recurring invoices from the original subscription.

= .2 =
* Now adds the affiliate id to any order after is is "added" via the pmpro_added_order hook. This means that recurring payment orders will be marked with the affiliate id if you have your IPN handler, Silent Post URL, or Stripe Web Hook setup properly.
* Affiliate codes are now linked to discount codes with the same code. If an affiliate code is passed, it will automatically use the discount code with the same value. If a discount code is used, it will apply the affiliate code with the same value (unless another affiliate code is already being used).

= .1 =
* Initial release.
