is it possible to somehow modify it so that i can put it in one of the ad location instead of posting it.

I wouldn't call it modified at that point, it would basically be at least 50% new code.

You could use the code that scrapes the info from the pages but after that I would imagine instead of using the vBulletin functions to create a new post you'd need to write a custom .html file and then use that as an <iframe> ad in an ad location template.

It's not a bad idea... Never thought of using them in an ad. I'm not sure when I would get a chance to work on it though, will definitely post back if/when I add the option.

What size ad were you considering?

I could only find daily deals for US, GB, and DE. If you know the link for an Australian daily deal please post it here and I'll try to add it.

Hi
This mod stopped working sometime in 2012 and I tried to make it work at that time with no succes. I would like to have this working on my new design, so I tried to uninstall/install the mod and run the cron job manually. The message from the cron job is that it ran succesfully, but no posts are showing in the assigned forum.
Any help would be appreciated.

Which amazon site are you pulling from? It's actually still working for me, puling from amazon.com. There is a little HTML code displayed but generally it works.

I just installed this on a VB4 test site, virtually stock, and it works- at least when I run the cron job manually from the mod settings- if you run it manually from the settings page does it work for you?

I'm using this as the code for the post template:

Code:

[B][SIZE=3]Kindle Daily Deal for {DATE}[/SIZE][/B]



[B][I][URL="{LINK}"]{TITLE}[/URL][/I][/B]



[URL="{LINK}"][img]https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/[/img][/URL]



[B]About:[/B] {SHORTDESC}



[B]Deal Price: {DEALPRICE}[/B] (Today Only) 



[B][SIZE=3]Other Deal[/SIZE][/B]



[B][I][URL="{LINK}"]{ALT_TITLE}[/URL][/I][/B]



[URL="{LINK}"][img]https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/[/img][/URL]



[B]About:[/B] {ALT_SHORTDESC}



[B]Deal Price: {ALT_DEALPRICE}[/B] (Today Only) 





[B][URL="{LINK}"]View More Deals Now[/URL][/B] or [URL="{ALINK}"]Browse Amazon.com[/URL].

Also - What PHP version is on your server?
