This may be obsolete now. eBay Partner Network now offers a code snippet to put in the head tags (PAGE CONTAINER Template) that will re-write any eBay link on the page with your EPN ID number.

Hey Andy, I believe I found a bug in the eBay Parser. If you have to itm URLs your regex will match all the text between the frist tag of the first url and the last tag of the last url, and replace it with a single link, resulting in all the text after the first URL being deleted.

E.g. If you have


words
words
words

https://www.ebay.com/itm/172412011436

more words
more words
more words

https://www.ebay.com/itm/172412011436

You'll end up with just:


words
words
words

https://www.ebay.com/itm/172412011436

ETA: the second URL doesn't even have to be a eBay URL - will happen with any URL

Thanks for releasing this, @AndyB. For our Xenforo 2 migration, we need to replace SneakyDave's comprehensive URL parser here: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/solidmean-comprehensive-url-parser.3746/ because he is not migrating it for XF2.
The settings for ebay seem to be more complicated. For example,
links to ebay.com
are replaced with

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?pub=5574929384&toolid=10001&campid=5336714961&mpt={cachebuster}&mpre={encoded_url}

I assume this addon can't support the above?

Is this true?

"If I had to hazard a guess, AndyB has added a new field to one of our core database tables and done so using the wrong collations (some best practices have likely been bypassed to achieve that)."

Is this addon not coded using best practices?

I guess you don't know the answer?

Had this addon added a new field to the core database tables and done so using the wrong collations? An answer would be appreciated.

The Ebay parser add-on is used to convert eBay item links immediately after a message is saved. The converted links will include your eBay campaign ID.

FYI:

If I am reading this correctly, all the old links will be dead after March 31st. (or just won't generate any more revenue) This is the reason why I've always felt the on-the-fly conversion when clicked was better.

does this write the affilate to the db or does it prase it at runtime in the bbcode renderer?

@AndyB should be worried about this?
