This one is in beta gang. Amazon seems to like to change their link style every two minutes.

What it does: It takes any link to Amazon pages on your forum and modifies the link on the fly to use your associate id. This one should make you some money - it generally works very well for my forum around Christmas time.

No screenshots. You know what an Amazon link looks like

I am offereing this one with limited support. I will get it working as well as possible - in other words, correctly transforming as many links as possible. But, I can't promise it will get every link because of differences between the different vbulletin message editors, etc.

Amy,
just a short question. I?m using this with the german amazon-site. I never noticed a no=sim in the links. What is it for ?

Anyway,..this no=sim becomes to:
Code:
 http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3131476911/ref%3Dnosim/myaccount-id/313-2246395-9169407
and I?m asking myself if this link will lead to a conversion..

Any idea - anyone ?

The nosim means don't show similar products.

First, great hack amykhar.

Second, is there a way to make the changed links permanent?
Because if you edit a posting, it shows the old and unchanged link.

This is a great addon Mnykhar. Good job.

Question: I posted a message at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=932722 that is a request along the same lines as this addon. Can you read it please and tell me what you think?

Thanks

I just uploaded a new zip file that fixes a problem my users just now reported with hotlinking Amazon images. Why they didn't mention this problem two years ago....

mike, I did it for 3.0 and nobody really used it. With very little effort, you could take the old ebay mod and this mod and combine them to have a working ebay mod.

I just updated and tested this, unfortunately the fix not working for me.

Text links continue to convert fine to use my associate ID.

But when I use an Amazon image instead, it does not: the URL stays as the original.

What information can I provide that may help troubleshoot this?

Thanks, Amy...
