Thank you, @AndyB!

A thousand Thank You's!! This has been one of the few sore spots of moving to xenForo from vB.

@AndyB
Thanks for the addon. This is something I have been looking forward to to replace the current URLrewriter addon that has not been updated for ages.
After installing it, add my .com affiliate ID, and go back to on my previous threads that have amazon links, it does not seem to work.
1) it only seems to work on new posts.
2) If I add http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0979757622 to the post, it will chance to http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0979757622/?tag=affiliate-ID.

I think it would be better if the affiliate id is hidden using [url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0979757622/?tag=affiliate-ID]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0979757622[/url]
3) Also, turning on the Link Proxy will not result in any link clicking being logged.

Oh man, I thought this would re-parse on the fly. Shoot. Can I run a command to have it go through all the existing amazon links?

 

[AndyB]

I've already written the Amazon Parser All add-on which will be used to update all posts. Currently it's being tested and I hope to release it in a day or two.

The error only seems to happen when you try to post "anonymously" using @xfrocks add-on and only on replies, not making a new thread.

If you write My Amazon Link the affiliate_id is hidden after save this post. If you write http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0979757622 the affiliate_id is not hidden. That is like XF works ...

I've been using this addon http://xenforo.com/community/threads/urlrewriter-auto-media-embed-and-affiliate-schemes.8292/

When you enter http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0979757622 it will keep that format but when you click on it, it will go to http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0979757622/?tag=id

I'm a little curious as to why you're doing it through datawriter instead of on the fly also. I would recommend applying the same concept through XenForo_BbCode_Formatter_Base instead of the datawriter. This would not only allow you to change the affiliate id at any point without updating every post but also allow it to apply to other content types instead of just posts.

[Edit] matter of fact, I think the perfect place to implement this code would be through: XenForo_BbCode_Formatter_Base::renderTagUrl(). I think it would improve this add on greatly if you switched to this method. You also don't run the risk of corrupting old messages. And your add on can be disabled at any point and the old links reverted back to how they were.

Just something for you to consider.

 

[Qwest]

Exactly.

Glad I read your post. I was just coming here to ask if this was done at render. Any other way makes no sense.

 

[Qwest]

Bump.

Just wondering if you're working to get it to work at render.

 

[MotMann]

Does it change exciting Message?
And what happened with Skimlink if i deactivate Amazon Overwrite there but "go" redirect is active for other affili? Does it works correct with redirect?

And what happened with search URLs? As these one: http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_sb_no...url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=titanfall
