Automatically rewrites based on EPN program (ebay.it, ebay.de, ebay.ca, etc)
Exclude certain usergroups
Include/Exclude specific forums
Exclude specific styles
Rewrite links in PM's


Installation:

Unzip the package
upload functions_ebay_links.php to your includes directory
Install the product XML
Navigate to Settings > Options > eBay Partner Network Links to set your IDs and other options


Note: The mod will not work without BOTH your EPN ID and campain ID filled in.

Enjoy!

It should work, give it a try.

Will do tomorrow, does Skimlinks require disabling too?

It shouldn't, no. As far as I know they will not rewrite affiliate links.

Can you offer the option to set target="_blank" so the link opens in a new tab instead of taking the user off site? All non-ebay links open in a new tabs for me. Some of my members are asking for this. Thanks

I think I figured it out. Does this look right?

//build new link
$out[1][$i] = 'http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/' . $programid . '/1?pub=' . $vbulletin->options['ebay_links_partnerid'] . '&campid=' . $vbulletin->options['ebay_links_campid'] . $customid . '&toolid=10001&mpre=' . urlencode($out[1][$i]) . '" target=\"_blank\">

Try replacing that line with this:

$out[1][$i] = 'http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/' . $programid . '/1?pub=' . $vbulletin->options['ebay_links_partnerid'] . '&campid=' . $vbulletin->options['ebay_links_campid'] . $customid . '&toolid=10001&mpre=' . $out[1][$i] . '" TARGET="_blank"><img style="text-decoration:none;border:0;padding:0;margin:0;" src="http://rover.ebay.com/roverimp/1/' . $programid . '/1?pub=' . $vbulletin->options['ebay_links_partnerid'] . '&toolid=10001&campid=' . $vbulletin->options['ebay_links_campid'] . $customid . '&mpt=[CACHEBUSTER]';

I can't see the php code box, can you re-post it using code /code

Nevermind, I just copy and pasted in dreamweaver to see it all. :)

[tommyxv]

OK, i tested it and it works both ways. Does it matter which one I use?

TARGET="_blank"
OR
target=\"_blank\"

[tommyxv]

I just noticed that your code snippet had another part removed.

Original
urlencode($out[1][$i]) . '">

Works
urlencode($out[1][$i]) . '" target=\"_blank\">

Also Works
$out[1][$i] . '" TARGET="_blank">

Does it matter which one? Will one mess up the re-write?

It was having issues with some characters that were contained in some URLs, so I took out urlencode.

It shouldn't matter, no.

Whatever page is linked to on ebay will still be linked to, just with your partner id inserted.

[tommyxv]

Awesome. I will use your code. Thanks for the quick response!

[tommyxv]

Someone posted this ebay link but its not getting re-written.

Love your mods, thank you. Nice to not have a middleman.

This used to turn links into rover links. It no longer appears to be functional.
