Variable data on Thank you/Confirmation pages

I didn't know where else to put this in the forums - I hope others with similar problems can find it here

We are using idevaffiliate to track affiliate commissions through the sales process and this is working flawlessly.

The problem we are having is with affiliate networks and the thank you/confirmation page. They have a tracking code that needs to fire when the confirmation page is loaded. The problem is we need that tracking code somehow tied to the affiliate ID in the URL so that the tracking code is variable based on the referral source.

If we were just to put all of the tracking codes on the same confirmation page all affiliate networks would record a sale every time that page was loaded regardless of whether or not the were the source of that traffic.

We have tried a number of things and we are now stuck. Please Help!

Ok - we think we have figured out the first part but now we have run into this

I am placing Tracking Pixel code in the "Thank-You" text under a plan I have created, but I'm running into a small problem. I need to pass a unique/dynamic variable with the tracking pixel that I'm sending. Is there a way that I can place a "substitution" variable in the Thank-You text that will get populated with the variable on the system.

For example:

<script>
<img src="www.example.com/tracking.php?order_id=ORDER_ID" />
</script>

ORDER_ID could be anything that is unique to the specific user. I don't know what is even available.

CBSubs provides an iDevAffiliate integration plugin... is this not sufficient for your needs? Please examine the CBSubs package and your CBSubs manual.
