Amazon Integration

[Icheb]

This hack turns all links to an article from amazon.de (you can change it to .com or anything else you like) into affiliate links by appending your affiliate ID to the link. All you have to do is install the plug-in, change the amazon site and your ID and you're good to go.

Please test it on your site and report back. :)

Don't forget to hit the install button if you like it!

Looks interesting, might have to give this a test. It would be better if it was packaged as a product rather than just a plugin. :)

[Icheb]

I never wrote hacks for 3.5 / 3.6 before, so I'm not that versed with the product and plugin system. However, it works on my test forum. ;)

[ThorstenA]

nice one.

[version2]

Oh, crap! I installed this on my 3.5.4 site. I wonder what its going to do. =P

[noppid]

Don't forget to change the associates ID or you are selling for him. :p


Great hack though.

Didn't work, I don't think. I posted a link to a product at Amazon...shouldn't it have put my aff-id in there?

I wasn't expecting it to work....like I said. I am not running the beta yet. =]

[Icheb]

You can't blame me, I warned you in the initial post. ;)

[klaush]

I installed it under 3.5.4 and it seems to work.

Thanks.

Just click on one or both of the two Amazon-links.

Just edit the plugin after install.

I believe you edit "atnet-21" in the xml file to whatever your associate id is.

[tokenyank]

This is hit and miss...

If you copy link location from amazon, you get the desired link syntax:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0761128611/ref=pd_sbs_4/026-6811884-2347654?%5Fencoding=UTF8

The rewrite works after the ASIN to add the affiliate code, so this works.

But, if you click on the link, the sytax in the address bar changes to:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0761128611/026-6811884-2347654?v=glance&n=266239

So, if someone copy&paste a link of a product that they are currently looking at, it won't work due to the /gp/product syntax.

So, let's just hope everyone copies link location and pastes that so that the ASIN stays valid!

[Icheb]

You could have also dropped the smug sarcasm and merely pointed this out. I guess that wasn't good enough for you, now was it?

[tokenyank]

erm, smug sarcasm?

Wow! If that's how you react to criticism, god help you in the real world!

[rinkrat]

Sweet! Can you make an Ebay version too?

Can anyone help me figure this out? Thank you in advance.

[RetroDreams]

Is this working on 3.6 Gold?

[Taco John]

I was just going to ask that! :)

[Pagandream]

for me not :(

[Markith]

Anyone know if there is a working amazon hack out there????

[logastro]

Yeah, a working version could be interesting (and better with over affiliation possibilities)

[amykhar]

I hate advertising in other people's threads, but mine still works for 3.6.x

[logastro]

Oh thanks a lot!

[imranbaig]

I installed this and changed url to .com and edited my own Affiliate ID, now whats next??

hmm, i've got this thing running 2 weeks ago, but now it doesn't work for me anymore.

I still have vBulletin v3.6.7 PL1 running, so i didn't do any updates since the installation.
:confused:

[daFish]

Great Plugin, but it doesn't change the URL like it should. I'm using vBulletin 3.6.4 at the moment and no link, e.g. this (http://www.amazon.de/Reamonn-Wish-Live/dp/B000PMGPUC/ref=sr_1_1/028-2831116-3053358?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1187443747&sr=1-1), are being converted.
