I installed this on my vb3.8 board and it doesn't appear to be doing anything. I don't see my affiliate ID in the URL or anything.

Did you edit the plugin to add your affiliate ID for the correct version of Amazon?

I edited lines 6 and 7 of functions_amazon_links.php with my affiliate ID (xxxxx-20).

is there something like this for vb4.2?

It works for 4.2

when I tried to upload it , it gave me a message about it being a plugin, not a product. I go to the plugin manager, there is no place to upload the import the xml file

nevermind, just tried the upload/download plugins... thanks

I just got it working, but it's using "ref=nosim" and from what I've googled those are no longer used

They still work just fine.

how can "ref=nosim" be removed ?

You don't need to remove it. It works fine with it in the link or not in the link. Amazon doesn't care.

I've got several links on various sites that contain "ref=nosim". They take the visitor to the correct page and I get credit for any purchases resulting from that click.

Is the following amazon affiliate link correct?
http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASI...wipadteamde-21

Can it be adapted to work with amazon.(whatever) ?

Nope, not working with 4.2.1 Are there any other scripts out there?

I'd really like to see this and the ebay one for 4.2.1 as well please. It worked so well for us before the upgrade.

I use it on 4.2.1 and it works.
No changes needed except adding the ID.

It only changes the URLs on the fly so if you edit the text you wont see your affiliate id in the link.

FYI, making a mod like this to work with 4.2.2 and dynamically update Amazon links based on specific criteria.

Also, the links that are rewritten via this mod are dated and not using the current format.
