Thank you for taking this up. I've been trying to get the previous one to work, but unless the parsings perfect (in that it doesn't break in any scenario) then I'm reluctant to deploy it on my site.

downloading/testing.

edit: It's not working for me. links are not getting processed at all. Looks like lower case [url] aren't processed.


thanks

Great - but does it work with vbAnonymizer installed?

@arn:
i made a little update and tested it. now the script will also replace [url] and [url="xxx"] instead of [URL] and [URL="xxx"].

@redlabour: i'll test it this evening to get it working.

Best regards,
Felxi

The lowercase still isn't working for the [url="xxx"]

example:
[url="http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-970155-0403-V20-Notebook-Speakers/dp/B0009WKBGC"]these[/url]

It should work now, I updated the script. You can test your link-codes in the functions_amazon_links.php and run this php file direct:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Seems to work dude, good job!

Great release. I assume this works with the 3.6-series?

Yea, running it on the latest 3.6.

Another issue.

It seems that using this hack removes vbulletin's auto truncate feature in long urls.

For example:

Without the hack, long urls are shortened. Example:

h_ttp://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Offi...5878848&sr=8-1

Once you install the hack, the url ends up being very long, and not auto truncated.

h_ttp://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Office-2004-Student-Teacher/dp/B0001WN16M/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1195878848&sr=8-1

Hey weeno,
thanks for the report. the truncate feature is now added to the script.

In general the displayed link e.g. [url ] amazon-link [ /url] will get [url="new-amazon-link" ] amazon-link [ /url], so the displayed post-text isn't changed .

Greetz,
felxi

Wow!

I've tried a few of these before, both for vBulletin and WordPress. This is the first one that actually WORKS for me.

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:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

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

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Then find two instances of

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

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

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

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