Amazon links

[Britmovie]

Hi on a vbulletin 3.72 board i saw where people add amazon links to posts and they end up showing a small amazon logo and it changes the link to include the associate id so clicking and buying from the link gives revenue. Looked every where and can not see a mod for this that will work in 3.72. Can anyone help me out please?

I think that's just Amazon Associates. No mods required.

That's very likely AME - Auto Media Embedding . The Geek originally made it to where the little logo appears beside the link. Then someone created a definition that auto inserts the affiliate ID. Someone then made a thumbnail definition, which I've since tweaked to include the foreign language Amazon sites, as well as aStore links:



You can find the updated Thumbnail, aStore and Formatted Link with the little logo definition in the Add-On for that modification.

I know this is an OLD thread, but I still run vB 3.8.1 with AME version 2.5.6. I don't exactly know when, but somewhere along the line the definition for including a thumbnail has stopped working for me. Here it is,

<br />
     <div style="padding:0; text-align:center; width:250px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto" class="tborder">
            <div style="background:#FFFFFF url('images/misc/amazon_logo.png') no-repeat scroll center center; height:55px; width:250px">&nbsp;</div>
            <div class="alt2" style="padding:10px">
<a href="$ameinfo[url]/&tag=twowhetex-20" title="$ameinfo[title]" target="_blank">
                                 <img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/$p1._SL175_.jpg" alt="$ameinfo[title]" border="0" /></a></div>
           <div class="thead">
<a href="$ameinfo[url]/&tag=twowhetex-20" title="$ameinfo[title]" target="_blank">$ameinfo[title]</a>
           </div>
     </div>
<br />

It is attaching my Amazon Assoc ID tag correctly. It just isn't grabbing an image any more. Any chance it might just be a change in the img link part by Amazon? I don't know diddly squat about how this stuff works, so I don't know how to fix it. I'm just a cut'n paster...

You can see it in action on my forum here,

There are actually two amazon definition running, one just for links and the other to do the thumbnail and both add the assoc id tag.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
