[Paid Request $100] Dynamic Amazon Links

[Andy.N]

EDIT: I'm putting $100 bounty on this mod.

Been using this for a long time on our VB site and really missed this when we moved to XF
Here is the link to the VB mod

Ideally, the mod should handle any type of Amazon link and will format the links with proper affiliate ID

In vBulletin I'm using a very simple BB-Code [amazon]ASIN[/amazon] which will be replaced by the following code:

<br>
<table border="0" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td><a href="http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/{param}/ID-21" target="_blank"><img src="http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/{param}.03.MZZZZZZZ.jpg" border="0"></a></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><strong>ISBN/ASIN</strong>: <a href="http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/{param}/ID-21" target="_blank">{param}</a></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<br>

Only thing you have to do is to put Amazon's ASIN between the [amazon]-tags and it generates a product picture together with a Link with proper affiliate ID.

So it would be great if someone could convert this to XF so I could continue using this code. Thanks a lot!!!

While you're waiting for a proper mod, i'll share the temporary solution I found - http://www.decentmind.com/2010/12/use-javascriptjquery-to-rewrite-amazon-affiliate-links/

It's better than nothing until something better arrives.

Still looking as the first coder who contacted me is no longer able to do this.

It appears a solution for has been available for sometime

I'm using the "BB Code Media Sites" tab for that.

Sorry, it's in German - but I think you'll get the idea:



The full code for the last field is:

<A HREF="http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/{$id}/ref=nosim/radioforende-21" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/{$id}/ref=nosim/radioforende-21</a>

You just need to change it to ".com" and enter your own Amazon id.
