Amazon Associates Links will automatically rewrite links (on the fly) to Amazon.com/.ca/.co.uk with your ID. Existing links that you've created will not be overwritten and any special linking parameters will be maintained.
There are several options:
Turn the whole mod on/off
Different ID's for amazon.com .ca .co.uk .de
Exclude certain usergroups
Include/Exclude specific forums
Exclude specific styles
Rewrite links in PM's
Keep or overwrite links that already have other Associates ID's in them
Installation:
Unzip the package
upload functions_amazon_links.php to your includes directory
Install the product XML
Navigate to Settings > Options > Amazon Associates Links to set your ID and other options
Enjoy!

Does this have external content?

No, it only changes links to Amazon, and does not contact Amazon servers to do so.

Yes, and yes. These would be simple additions. I'll add both to the next version.

I got a message from Amazon that said they don't allow forum sites to be in the program. I guess after my first referral they reviewed my pending application and kicked my out of the program. Told me to re-apply if I had a different type of site.
I call BS on Amazon. I referred someone who made a purchase, yet I don't make any commission, and they closed my affiliates account.

If you have more than one Amazon Associates ID, e.g., for amazon.com and amazon.ca, how does this determine which ID to add to the link?

Actually it works fine, but Amazon now uses https by default, and this script doesn't detect https.
You can fix it by changing the regex in functions_amazon_links.php
on lines 22, 27, 51, find:
http:\/
replace:
https?:\/
This will support both http and https amazon links.

I realize it's been a while since you posted this, but thanks, I fixed this in the latest version. rewritten URL's also now go to https://www.amazon.com

This is kinda embarrassing, but how am I supposed to know if the tracking has gone through? I entered all the IDs correctly. Also, I've used the eBay plugin and it changed the URL on the final link so I know that works. But on this the URL appears to stay the same. Should I worry? Thanks.

I marked this plugin as installed.
But it won't work, still the same links, not with my ID.
