This plugin still works with eBays changes!

[dknelson]

Yes it does. You just have to change the number.

Just a heads up that this hack "appears" to still work fine with vb4.0. If anyone knows differently, please let me know, but the links appear to be re-written correctly.

Do I still need to make these changes in order for this hack to work?

Thanks for the input. Hopefully the original author can confirm if this is indeed the case or if the mod will need to be updated for vB 4.0.

Yes you definitely need to make this change for it to work 100% of the time!

Just for clarification ....

I need to add:

$encodedlink = str_replace('&', '&', $rightlink); 
$encodedlink = urlencode($encodedlink);

... both these lines as is and replace the one that exists now?

Thanks ... :up:

Regards,
Badger

Edit: Never mind... I had to put code back the way it was as eBay stopped crediting me for click throughs the day I changed the code and added the above two lines as a replacement. As soon as I returned the code back to the original one line, the clicks starting paying again, so I have no idea why this is the case, but others should be careful making the above change.
