Need Help with Beta Testing WP plugin

Discussion in 'WordPress' started by MOG, Jun 2, 2009.

    Hi Guys,

    we have written our first WP plugin, that allows any wordpress webmaster to embed data on every single artist with upcoming concerts in Europe, along with images, tour dates and ticket availability into their WP blog.

    I have tested it on a half dozen blogs of my own, but I want to roll it out a bit and get some feedback - who wants to beta test it?

    thanks!

    What's the affiliate program for the tickets, or do you add your own ?
    If you have Electronic Dance Music covered ( EU Festivals and such) , I might be very interested in testing it.

    Can I get more info please ? Sounds intriguing.

    the version Im working on is at: www.seatwavediscountcode.com - note: its in a pretty contsant state of flux while I play about with layouts, but its looking quite tight now...

    I need to encode a few files before I can do a public distro (the php wrappers that handle calls to the seatwave API as its not publicly released yet) - I will post a download link here in the next few hours.

    by the way, its configurable for any of 5 EU countries performances and languages, and you can also select ANY event that is advertised on seatwave.com / .es / .fr / .nl / .de / .it

    Cheers

    EDIT:
    Re. the affiliate platform, you can sign up at all the usual EU platforms, buy.at, zanox, tradedoubler etc. etc. BUT Ive not integrated those affiliate URL redirects into the script yet, for the time being we can do a direct affiliate deal and you can track it through omniture (we would provide you a login)

    Sounds very interesting. I would certainly be interested in checking it out. I have been looking for something like this. The tools offered by ticket affiliates are pretty rough to say the least and I would like to do something a little bit better than basic banners,
    Keep me posted.

    mate, thanks for your interest in the project, since my last message Ive added things like fully unique meta information on each page, much tighter integration and more options in the settings panel.

    a newer version is available on this site: http://frsales.com/tickets check it out!

    Ive also put together an affiliate network to handle the plugin to give you click tracking and conversion reporting as well... its going to be at http://www.partnertix.com and Im aiming to launch in about 7 days from now,

    cheers!

    I know I have been busy lately, but I finally got around to installing the plug in, and it works very well. It was very easy to set up, and I did sign up for the affiliate program, so I'm pretty much all set.

    I still need to see if I can tweak the configurations to just show a certain niche, but all in al, I am very impressed with it. Nice job.

    Here is the link to the page I have it set up on if anyone wants to see how it's displayed:
