Actually, the link formatting for some categories did change, but I think this hack still works. Not sure why some categories changed.

Very nice hack. I do have a question for those who have been using it.

Is the hack smart enough to not change a link that already has your associates ID present?

Does this work on old posts or only on messages that are posted after the hack has been installed?

Just wanted to bump this up in case anyone can help answer these questions.

amykhar 06-06-2006 02:31 AM
1. Yes. It won't change your current affiliate links.
2. This version only works on new messages. The 3.0 version worked on all of them. Jelsoft changed the way urls are parsed - hence the change.

Tralala 06-22-2006 02:28 PM
Is anyone else here running Psionic Vision's Advanced Plugin Manager v2?

I ask because when I enable that, "Create Amazon Links" disappears from my list of plugins and I therefore can no longer disable/enable it:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...371#post952371

It's completely reproducible here, even on a clean vB 3.5.4 install. Wondering what might be different about amykhar's hack that would cause it to not appear, when using that Advanced Plugin Manager.

daFish 07-17-2006 03:11 PM
Hi there amykhar.

This Add-on is really great, but we're currently in trouble, because there seems to be a new kind of link for amazon.

The link syntax is the following:

http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B000GJ0IPM/AFFILICODE

This on isn't corrected with your hack, so is there any chance to get this working?

Best regards,
Marcus

amykhar 07-17-2006 05:15 PM
Amazon keeps changing link formats on me. I can't promise I'll get to it any time soon.

StarBuG 10-20-2006 01:02 PM
Are you still supporting this hack?

I run a german forum (3.6.2 -> will this work on 3.6.x too?) and you only replace amazon.com links.
Could you add amazon.de links as well for the replacement?

Maybe you could also provide some infos where you define the links in your hack and how to adapt them ourself.

Would that be possible?

This hack does that:

does anyone know if this hack still works and is supported by amazon?? will it work with other sites such as buy.com??? Thanks!

amykhar 11-27-2006 11:56 AM
Yes it works. No, it's not supported by Amazon - although they did help me with testing of initial versions. No, it doesn't work for Buy.com

logastro 01-06-2007 07:24 PM
Your plugin works fine on my vBulletin 3.6 forum. Why don't you post it on vB3.6 Add-ons?

masons 03-19-2007 04:29 AM
works perfect on my 3.6.5! awesome!

VietPirates 03-30-2007 08:01 AM
From Amazon

Just as with other ASINs you can also use the format below to build links directly to Unbox products. Simply substitute the corresponding Unbox ASIN for "B000LEIOOY" and your Associates ID for "assocblog-20."

Code:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LEIOOY/?tag=assocblog-20

Phillip Chapman 05-05-2007 06:43 PM
I've been using this hack for a long time. Very nice.

I did have a question though. I noticed under my plugin manager that the title of this hack is listed as "vBulletin" instead of "Dynamically Create Amazon Links". Likewise under manage products, this plugin isn't listed at all.

Can this possibly be updated? Thank you Amy for all of your work on this.

dpatel304 05-07-2007 05:08 AM
I got this working for the most part, however, my referral links have an extra "/" in it.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000NHG7CK//ref=nosim/*****-20

right before ref=nos

Is this normal, and will this affect anything?

dpatel304 06-09-2007 10:07 PM
Sorry to bump, but can anyone answer my above post? Thank you.

reteep 09-05-2007 07:53 AM
Same here:
Code:
http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3934958664//ref=nosim/XXX-21

reteep 09-05-2007 08:16 AM
Ok this is fixing it the additional slash, replace line 59-68 with this:

Code:
$messagearray[1][$i] = "http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN".$asin[0]."ref=nosim/" . $associate_id.'"]';
                                }
                                elseif(stristr($messagearray[1][$i],"[/url]"))
                                {
                                        $messagearray[1][$i] = "http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN".$asin[0]."ref=nosim/" . $associate_id."[/url]";
                                }
                                else
                                {
                                        $messagearray[1][$i] = "http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN".$asin[0]."ref=nosim/" . $associate_id;
                                }

                                }

Looks like all that does is replace the amazon.com with amazon.de?
How would that fix the extra slash???

Oh yea sorry, I adapted it for amazon.de. Just change it back to amazon.com, the important part is this here:

Code:
/ASIN".$asin[0]."ref=nosim/"
I removed the slash in front of ref

Thx a lot. Great addon. works perfect!

Does this addon work out of the box or does it need code modification?

Is there no way to make this parse posts while they are being rendered/displayed to replace links on-the-fly? I'm not that familiar with hook locations, but it seems this code could be run right before the post is displayed by showthread.

edit:
oh wait.... this may be an old post... looks ilke it does work on existing posts. right?

I made some different fixes and this script works now with vBulletin 3.6.8. The code is not the best but seems to work much better. E.g. [ url=xxx]yyy[ /url] links will be replaces correctly. problems with missing tags like [/font][/size] behind the amazon link will be solved. there can also be an image in the post and the link will be replaced and some other small fixes.

new code for vB 3.6.8

Hi, thanks for posting.

You code, however, does not appear to work for

[URL="http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-970155-0403-V20-Notebook-Speakers/dp/B0009WKBGC"]these[/URL]

results in...

ok got this working nicely in VB3.8.7 for amazon UK

basically did this

PHP Code:
<?php

function process_amazon_links($message)

// Convert any amazon links to use your affilliate id.

// enter your associate id here

you can use this plugin for amazon uk and https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=163393 for amazon usa at same time, works a treat.
