Another issue.

It seems that using this hack removes vbulletin's auto truncate feature in long urls.

For example:

Without the hack, long urls are shortened. Example:

h_ttp://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Offi...5878848&sr=8-1

Once you install the hack, the url ends up being very long, and not auto truncated.

Hey weeno,
thanks for the report. the truncate feature is now added to the script.

In general the displayed link e.g. [url ] amazon-link [ /url] will get [url="new-amazon-link" ] amazon-link [ /url], so the displayed post-text isn't changed :).

Greetz,

Wow!

I've tried a few of these before, both for vBulletin and WordPress. This is the first one that actually WORKS for me.

Well done! :)

I made a slight modification to the plug-in that might be useful to others...

In functions_amaxzon_links.php, find at lines 6-7:

Code:

        /*

         * your partnernet ids

         */

        $associate_id_de = 'xxxxxxxxx'; // or leave empty

        $associate_id_com = 'xxxxxxxxxxx'; // or leave empty

Since I don't have or need an amazon.de account but I do have another regional account, I changed this to:

Code:

        /*

         * your partnernet ids

         */

        $associate_id_de = ''; // or leave empty

        $associate_id_com = 'xxxxxxxxxxx'; // or leave empty 

        $associate_id_ca = 'xxxxxxxxxxx'; // or leave empty

Then find two instances of

Code:

amazon.(de|com)

at lines 17-18 and 42-43. Change to:

Code:

amazon.(ca|com)

For other regional Amazons, use the appropriate regional extension instead of "ca".

two more "issues"

1.

It breaks this link:
http://www.amazon.com/review/product...owViewpoints=1

since it has an ABIN number but is not meant to go to the product itself

2.

It doesn't handle [url=http://www.link.com]text[/url] (without quotes)

Regarding #1, in a related note, I might even prefer the urls all to be redirect urls via Amazon rather than any in the more abbreviated ABIN version... since that way the final url is as intended by the origanal poster, and your referal code is no longer embedded in the final destination url. But that might be a personal preference.

thanks

Thanks,

Do you forsee any problems if I modify it to use the redirect code on all links, even those with ABINs in them?

This is a serious question, not a flame: What is the purpose of a post like this? It seems to me it's more a non-post.
