Hey wenno,

I think the best conversion you can get is using ref=nosim, because the link will be a direct product link in this case.

Greets,
Felxi

Just saying I've reserved it for use on a forum in the future as I have no need for it currently. As the "mark if installed" feature promotes the trusted and used mods, I wanted to show I'd trust and use this mod.... but I haven't yet so haven't marked as installed.

I think you'll find many members do such a thing.

Well done!

I made a slight modification to the plug-in that might be useful to others...

In functions_amaxzon_links.php, find at lines 6-7:

Code:

	/*
	 * your partnernet ids
	 */
	$associate_id_de = 'xxxxxxxxx'; // or leave empty
	$associate_id_com = 'xxxxxxxxxxx'; // or leave empty

Since I don't have or need an amazon.de account but I do have another regional account, I changed this to:

Code:

	/*
	 * your partnernet ids
	 */
	$associate_id_de = ''; // or leave empty
	$associate_id_com = 'xxxxxxxxxxx'; // or leave empty 
	$associate_id_ca = 'xxxxxxxxxxx'; // or leave empty

Then find two instances of

Code:

amazon.(de|com)

at lines 17-18 and 42-43. Change to:

Code:

amazon.(ca|com)

For other regional Amazons, use the appropriate regional extension instead of "ca".

How would I get .co.uk work with this? Would

Code:

amazon.(ca|com)

become

Code:

amazon.(co.uk|com)

etc?

It seems this mod isn't compatible with the vbanonymizer or vbseo or something lol. When I installed it - it stopped my viewtopic pages from being displayed.

uninstalled.

g00gl3r · #27 11-29-2007, 05:39 PM

I'm guessing it's this line I'd have to edit to get it to work....

Code:

 	if(preg_match_all("/\[url\=(?:\")?(http:\/\/(?:[A-z0-9\.]+)?amazon\.(de|com|ca|co.uk)\/(?:.+))(?:\")?](.+)\[\/url\]/iU", $text, $out)) {

But what would I change it to? it's this that I have:https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=131292

felxi · #28 11-30-2007, 06:40 AM

pete_brady · #29 12-04-2007, 10:15 PM

working for .com (albeit without truncation of links) but can't get it going for .co.uk at all.
