Affiliate Links Don't Work

[benjironelson]

Installed the module in Evoq Content 8.5.0.
Added a new Vendor
Created an affiliate link
Added "affiliateId" to the "KeepInQueryStringRegex" in AUM
Copied the link from the notification
Accessed the link with affiliateId in private browser session

No clicks are being logged by the module for that vendor.

I have found a relevant detail. In older versions of DNN, this code block was in default.aspx.vb:

        ' affiliate processing
        Dim AffiliateId As Integer = -1
        If Not Request.QueryString("AffiliateId") Is Nothing Then
            If IsNumeric(Request.QueryString("AffiliateId")) Then
                AffiliateId = Int32.Parse(Request.QueryString("AffiliateId"))
                Dim objAffiliates As New Services.Vendors.AffiliateController
                objAffiliates.UpdateAffiliateStats(AffiliateId, 1, 0)

                ' save the affiliateid for acquisitions
                If Request.Cookies("AffiliateId") Is Nothing Then       ' do not overwrite
                    Dim objCookie As HttpCookie = New HttpCookie("AffiliateId")
                    objCookie.Value = AffiliateId.ToString
                    objCookie.Expires = Now.AddYears(1)       ' persist cookie for one year
                    Response.Cookies.Add(objCookie)
                End If
            End If
        End If

Perhaps this should be put into a Vendors module specific HTTPModule to resolve this issue.
