Miscellaneous Hacks - Amazon Integration

This hack turns all links to an article from amazon.de (you can change it to .com or anything else you like) into affiliate links by appending your affiliate ID to the link. All you have to do is install the plug-in, change the amazon site and your ID and you're good to go.

Please test it on your site and report back.

Don't forget to hit the install button if you like it!

Anyone know if there is a working amazon hack out there????

[logastro]

Yeah, a working version could be interesting (and better with over affiliation possibilities)

[amykhar]

I hate advertising in other people's threads, but mine still works for 3.6.x

[logastro]

Oh thanks a lot!
