I'd like to try this, but would like a stable version for 3.6.8..does the above work 100%? any problems? Will gladly donate if it works and makes me some bank...

Hi,

thanks a lot. I just installed it and would like to use it for the german Ebay partner-program.

I changed line 43 of the xml to:

Code:

if (!$parsie['host'] OR !preg_match('/(.*)ebay\.[a-z0-9]+/i', $parsie['host']) OR preg_match('/partners\.webmasterplan\.com/i', $parsie['host']))

Not sure if I got that one right. This should contain the domain of the rewritten URLs to prevent double-rewriting right?

and line 57 to:

Code:

$newurl = 'http://partners.webmasterplan.com/click.asp?ref=372170&site=1382&type=text&tnb=23&diurl=' . rawurlencode(str_replace('&amp;', '&', $url));

Please note that the IDs in line 57 are hardcoded. The ID entered in the VB-settings will NOT be used, you will have to edit the xml-file manually and enter your ref and site IDs there.

Here is the line of code again, this time with markers instead of my IDs:

Code:

$newurl = 'http://partners.webmasterplan.com/click.asp?ref=###enter_your_ref_id_here###&site=###enter_your_site_id_here###&type=text&tnb=23&diurl=' . rawurlencode(str_replace('&amp;', '&', $url));

Works for me, maybe someone can use this.

all the best,
Sacha

Will this rewrite the links from vBPortal RSS feed module?

BTW - Since I began using this 15 days ago I have made $95.00 from eBay and am beginning to average $9.00 a day!!!!

Interesting.

• Will this re-write links to eBay.com to eBay.co.uk?
• My members write all different types of links to auctions - will this convert all of them?
• If someone from the US clicks the link to eBay.co.uk but eventually buys through .com, what happens then?
• Does this work on 3.6.8 yet?

1./ This will rewrite any eBay links (regardless of extension) through their affiliate program.
2./ Yes.
3./ This would be a question you should ask eBay.
4./ Some people say it's working, some people say it's not working. I haven't had a chance to install a 3.6.8 test board, so I cannot confirm.

Thanks.

I'm an affiliate of .co.uk - Would I need an affiliate scheme with .com to receive payment from eBay.com links? Probably not your bag, granted, but it'll take days to get an answer from eBay I expect!

Um.....will it rewrite ebay links from vbPortal RSS feeds?

ETDC · #59 09-26-2007, 07:46 PM

Will install when stable and confirmed for 3.6.8

Last time I checked, they run through the same affiliate system.

Installed and appears to be working on 3.6.8.

If this thing is successful, you'll have some bux comin' your way!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
