We really need an updated version of this. It would be a great addition to Drupal 10.

If anyone is still interested in a Drupal 8+ module with this functionality, feel free to contact me via PM for sponsoring the development. We're also interested to implement this, but as a small team can't afford the whole thing alone. So opencollective or sth. like that would be fantastic.
Otherwise if the maintainers are interested to proceed with this project in D8+, I'd be even happier and we'd like to offer our contribution!

I also need this for a project I'm currently working on.
Has anyone started any work on a D10 version? I can help code and test?

I spent a little time and have most of this working locally. Should I add a MR or create a new module?
I don't know if I can commit to maintaining it long term but I'm happy to help get it up and running.

Hi @loze thanks! Well I think it depends, if you're able to contact an active maintainer here and become a maintainer, then I'd say a MR definitely would be great and we should revive this!
If not, create a new project! I'd still be interested to help with our team! We don't have a project for this yet, but we have two candidates.

Just to bump this. I have spent some time with this over the past few months and have basically all of the functionality of the d7 version working with a few improvements for my use cases that I think make good additions.
It appears this module is abandoned, Ive reached out to a few of the maintainers listed but never heard back.
I suppose I will just create a new project so we can work from there?
One question tho, I am struggling to decide on a name for it.
My version I'm running locally is just called "affiliate" but that name is already taken (and abandoned as well) along with other similar affiliate-ish names. Do you have a suggestion of a name to call it that is not already claimed on D.O.? - π©πͺGermany Anybody Porta Westfalica
@loze great to hear! :)
I think there are some options: You could either request maintainership for one of these projects, which would especially make sense, if you upgraded their code. And it sounds like you're using the affiliate_ng code?
Then see https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/managing-a-drupalorg-theme-module-or... β
Keeping the old name for something that works like the existing module totally makes sense, instead of adding further projects.
Pinging one of the maintainers might be a good start while also creating a maintainership issue. I don't think they are against porting this to Drupal 11! :)

Also I am open to collaborating:

Nice @SocialNicheGuru! In a next step it would then make sense to compare features and plan the next steps and architecture (wherever it happens).
FYI: For us, uber_affiliate doesn't seem to look right, as we need a more general approach and Commerce integration, like https://www.drupal.org/project/affiliate_ng β describes on the module page. Still this can be done in any of the projects.

Im glad you two are interested. I'll ping the maintainers again and see if I get a response.
My code is based heavily (at least conceptually) on affiliate NG but i have taken a handful of liberties to add features I needed.
I just threw it up over here https://github.com/lozeone/affiliate so if you want to try it out
There are 2 modules 'affiliate' is the main module and 'affiliate_commerce' creates conversions on commerce orders.
I tried to document the main features and setup in the readme.

Maybe we can use this as a moment, upgrade to Drupal 10+/11 to consolidate all of the "affiliate" type modules under one umbrella.
http://drupal.org/project/uber_affilaite
http://drupal.org/project/affiliate_ng
http://drupal.org/project/affiliate
http://drupal.org/project/affiliatesI like the idea of being able to connect and apply userpoints and commerece_userpoints; keep track of referrals using, https://www.drupal.org/project/indieweb; β give actual dollars using commerce_affiliate; give points or rewards for sharing and sign ups.
Most of this can be done in services or hooks that might connect to individual modules to do the heavy lifting.
