Miscellaneous Hacks - ForumYield Affiliate Link and Keyword Rewriter for Commission Junction, Amazon, eBay

We are pleased to announce the free release of ForumYield Affiliate Rewriter

Boost your forum's profit with three or more different streams of income when you implement the Forum Yield Affiliate Rewriter.

When members enter Amazon, eBay, or Commission Junction links in their posts, they are automatically rewritten with your Affiliate ID in the link for that particular network.

• eBay links, it adds your Campaign ID
• Amazon Links it adds your Associate ID
• Commission Junction links it adds your PID

You can also have it rewrite posts so keywords or phrases of your choice will be affiliate links from these or different networks. Case sensitivity may be turned on or off in the settings.

A popular use of the keyword rewriting section is to link keywords to the search form of your affiliate's website with your affiliate id this way you can have it search for numerous different product names automatically when they click the link with each search term changed to the keyword.

If you have users with premium memberships who do not wish to see the keywords rewritten, you can disable keyword rewriter for those groups in the settings.

Requires import of a single xml file, no uploads to the filesystem.

I've been waiting for something like this for a LONG time now. Hopefully it works well. I've tried various other things in the past that didn't work. *crosses fingers*

I will be installing it once my site can load (f**king ddosers...)

A short question, can eBay DE be added?

[Kolbi]

I get on a blank installation following error:
Warnung: strpos() [function.strpos]: Empty delimiter in [path]\includes\class_bbcode.php(2463) : eval()'d code (Zeile 42)

Warnung: strpos() [function.strpos]: Empty delimiter in [path]\includes\class_bbcode.php(2463) : eval()'d code (Zeile 43)
I tried the "Go Advanced" function...

Ahh I think I figured out what the problem was

It would use strpos to see if it the associate or whatever id is already in the url to know whether its rewritten already or not and if the box was empty, php gave a warning message

So I made it only do a strpos if those boxes are not empty.

Also I have added DE to the list

It also does modifications only if it can find the url

Hopefully that will fix it I am about to re-upload the product in a minute

Another bug I found.
Is it possible that the keyword rewriting doesn?t parse a URL-BB-Code?
I had for example:
Thermoflaschen and http://cgi.ebay.de/Reer-Edelstahl-Wa...d=p3286.c0.m14 was printed out without an clickable bb-code...

And is it normal that this rewriting (keyword) only is available with a new thread?
And not with a reply?

[kau]

I just put a new fix for urls that were being wordwrapped were having double spaces put into them also i tested it with someones really colorful link-filled signature to make sure the bbcode would appear in the text

And is it normal that this rewriting (keyword) only is available with a new thread?

How do you mean? If you do this as admin and remove 6 from the list of blocked rewriting groups it should work in both newthread and newreply

Incredible...
there is no ID inserted but it doesn´t work well.
