you get paid to sell amazon products(if they go through your referal)

This is cool. I want to look at it and see what it would take to convert it for other affiliate programs.

Amy,

I found out that Amazon has a RSS feed. Since i run the RSS Bot hack I thought about using it and this hack by you. Will this hack change the links they use in the RSS feed? Heres one link

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0007VZVG0/ref=nosimRss/webservices-20?dev-t=amznRss

It depends on two things:
1. How the bot hack forms the message. You may have to tweak it a bit to make it parse the amazon urls before saving the message.
2. If the RSS feed is set up to already use your affiliate ID, the hack won't change the links again. (which is a good thing)

Not sure how it does it but it doesnt give them UCash points so I am guessing it just adds te posts right to the database. :(

The RSS feed doesnt use the aff id.. :(

ok. Then it will be easy to do.
In the rss bot hack, find the line where it puts the message in the database. Then, above that line, copy the code that I used in functions_newpost.php.

Explicitly:
You might have to change the message variable to match whatever the hack called it. It's April 15 (tax day) and I am busy finializing tax returns for procrastinating clients. So, I can't help you dig through the RSS hack today.

Thx for this great hack... will work with the german sites.

I took a look but am scared to test because I just know Ill screw it up hehe

Does this hack affects existing posts/links?

Thanks,

No. It does not. With VB2 it did, but the way links are show has changed in VB3.
