Miscellaneous Hacks - eBay Partner Network Links by ForumSetup.net

eBay Partner Network Links will automatically rewrite links (on the fly) to eBay that contain your EPN ID's. Existing links that you've created will not be overwritten and any special linking parameters will be maintained.

Features:

• Turn the whole mod on/off
• Inserts EPN tracking pixel under ebay link
• Automatically rewrites based on EPN program (ebay.it, ebay.de, ebay.ca, etc)
• Exclude certain usergroups
• Include/Exclude specific forums
• Exclude specific styles
• Rewrite links in PM's

Installation:

• Unzip the package
• upload functions_ebay_links.php to your includes directory
• Install the product XML
• Navigate to Settings > Options > eBay Partner Network Links to set your IDs and other options

Note: The mod will not work without BOTH your EPN ID and campain ID filled in.

Enjoy!

It shouldn't, no. As far as I know they will not rewrite affiliate links.

Can you offer the option to set target="_blank" so the link opens in a new tab instead of taking the user off site? All non-ebay links open in a new tabs for me. Some of my members are asking for this. Thanks

I think I figured it out. Does this look right?

//build new link
				$out[1][$i] = 'http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/' . $programid . '/1?pub=' . $vbulletin->options['ebay_links_partnerid'] . '&campid=' . $vbulletin->options['ebay_links_campid'] . $customid . '&toolid=10001&mpre=' . urlencode($out[1][$i]) . '" target=\"_blank\">

Try replacing that line with this:

PHP Code:

$out[1][$i] = 'http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/' . $programid . '/1?pub=' . $vbulletin->options['ebay_links_partnerid'] . '&campid=' . $vbulletin->options['ebay_links_campid'] . $customid . '&toolid=10001&mpre=' . $out[1][$i] . '" TARGET="_blank"><img style="text-decoration:none;border:0;padding:0;margin:0;" src="http://rover.ebay.com/roverimp/1/' . $programid . '/1?pub=' . $vbulletin->options['ebay_links_partnerid'] . '&toolid=10001&campid=' . $vbulletin->options['ebay_links_campid'] . $customid . '&mpt=[CACHEBUSTER]';

I can't see the php code box, can you re-post it using code /code

Nevermind, I just copy and pasted in dreamweaver to see it all.

OK, i tested it and it works both ways. Does it matter which one I use?

TARGET="_blank"

OR

target=\"_blank\"
