By Request - Ebay Affilliate Conversion · **Released**: 12-05-2004

OK. This one is a quick knock-off of the amazon hack. It takes links to items on ebay and converts them to use your commission junction affilliate id.

It is very much a beta and has only been tested for about 5 minutes.

It was requested in this thread:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=72564

Please report any bugs.

[edited] A little experementing shows it adds the corrected link if I edit the post but does not add it when a new link is posted.

If it works on edit and not on the post, make sure you made the edits in the functions_newpost.php file correctly.

As far as I can tell I added it in the proper area just below the text // ### POST NEW POST ###

The tool is located at http://affiliates.ebay.com/tools/linking/

which editor are you using when you post? standard or WYSIWYG? Also, if you have problems, it helps me debug if you post a link to your forums.

I am using the Quick Reply "plain text" and the full WYSIWYG editor.

Also, how are you entering the url? Pasting it in directly as a plain link? Adding the vbb code manually? Using the link prompts? They should all work, but if something isn't, I need to figure out where it's failing.

Just entering with a cut & paste plain link. Just testing and if I use the link prompt it works properly. If I use the url bb tag it does not.

I just updated the text file with a fix for standard editor issues.

Also, do me a favor and paste the exact way you are putting in the link using the bb tag when you enter the link. I want to see if it's a whitespace issue that I resolved in the Amazon hack.

Looks like that fixes the cut/paste text link issue but the bb url code still doesn't work. Below is how I am entering it.
