Any way to decode a NATS ID?
 

Anyone know if it is possible to convert another affilaite's NATS encoded ID to the unencoded version?

Yes, it's possible. It's just a base64 value with the terminators stripped.

Thanks, so I put in my encoded NATS user name and got a number back, what do I need to do to that number to get my NATS user name?

Heh, for that you'd need the sponsor's database.
It's your database ID.

i think he wants to convert the NTkyMDozOjEw to his username, and without the sponsor database it is not possible because the NTkyMDozOjEw is created when the user creates the affiliate account and each sponsor has their own database

so, I could have NTkyMDozOjEw with occash.com and someone else could have NTkyMDozOjEw with insertcashnamehere.com....all though it is pretty improbable that anyone would have NTkyMDozOjEw again, but definitely possible

When I put in my code I get 26:6:1. What is the 26?

The 6 is the program and 1 is the site id. But the 26 from what I know has nothing to do with me as a WM or anything in my backend to associate with anything Yappo/YappoDollars.

Yeah that is what I wanted, oh well.

Is it not the database ID of the account? If not, probably the database ID is derived from it somehow.

function get_nats_info($decode){
$chars = strlen($decode);
$add = 4 - ($chars % 4);
if ($add < 4) while($add--) $decode .= '=';
list($campaignid, $programid, $siteid) = explode(':', base64_decode($decode));
return $campaignid . ' : '.$programid.' : '. $siteid;
}

the "26" in your example is the defualt campain id for that webmaster account

if the site uses "un-encoded" nats codes look for that ...

the format is USERNAME;26:SITE_SHORT_NAME:PROGRAM_SHORTNAME

sorry that should have read

USERNAME:PROGRAM_SHORTNAME:SITE_SHORT_NAME

USERNAME;(campainid):PROGRAM_SHORTNAME:SITE_SHORT_ NAME

I guess everything's already been properly answered.

But, no, as stated, without the mapping of accountid to account, and programid to program you can not convert someone else's data accurately.

Campaign ID silly :winkwink:

Yeah, I'm retarded.
