DESCRIPTION
Site owners may now hand out affiliate links to their partners. When anonymous users follow these links, and subsequently register for an account, the account is associated with that affiliate. Email reports are generated daily for each affiliate and for the site administrator. These emails list all the new registrants for each affiliate.

INSTALLATION
- Activate the module as usual
- Run the affiliate.mysql script on your database
- Grant 'administer affiliates' permission as needed

USAGE
- Create affiliates by browsing to your q=admin/affiliate page in the admin menu
- Then you may hand out links to the affiliate. The links may poin to anywhere on the web site. The key is that they contain 'aff=x' on the querystring. Substitute the ID of the affiliate for 'x'. Sample affiliate links are displayed on the admin/affiliate form and on the affiliate edit form.

TECH NOTES
- If someone follows an affiliate link which is unrecognized, then no association is logged
- No attempt is made to affiliate users who are already members but have no affiliation. Association can only happen at time of registration
