So I'm not sure exactly what that means, but I took it to imply that once a user has viewed a page that act triggers VigLink Insert to do it's thing for the page.From there, we crawl each page of your site 'after' it is accessed.
That's correct, this is to help you monetize your forum. We turn ordinary commercial links to retailers into links that earn you money (our Convert Product). There is also an option to insert new links by highlighting words or phrases on the page (our Insert product).
Adult sites are typically ok, there may be some retailers that chose not to display links on your site because of that.
Viglink (convert) works by taking a link one of your members posts and making it an affiliate link --- thus giving you a commission when someone buys something that was linked to on your forum.
Viglink (insert) is a different program they offer which replaces certain keywords found in posts with links to products related to those keywords.
So for example... If one of your users posts a link to an ebay auction, and another member comes along, clicks that link and buys the item... you would get a commission.
However -- on an adult site, I cant imagine a lot of links to ebay items on your site. So I would question whether you could make much if anything due to that fact.
To the contrary, eBay has a segregated Adult Only Category, so @Glockie should be capable of having a plethora of links to adult items there.(Ref: How to find the Mature Audience Section on eBay.)
Whether or not I can try this is something else. Best do some homework
FWIW, we have no Insert data either yet.
It has not been tested with that feature enabled. I will add it to our test suite as an option to verify.Does this add-on work with XenForo's link proxy feature?
If you mean you have using the Check Your Installation in the Manage Install section on the Viglink website, I have never got this to work (I don't use this add-on, I have put the Viglink code in the PAGE_CONTAINER template just above </body>) but I know that it's working on my site.I have something logged with support however haven't heard back.
Moved from vB to XenForo, installed the VigLink, added the code, ticked some usergroups but it claims not to be on the site?
What am I missing?
Just thought I'd report back, the VigLink addin doesn't work, however this post by Martok certainly did the trick!If you mean you have using the Check Your Installation in the Manage Install section on the Viglink website, I have never got this to work (I don't use this add-on, I have put the Viglink code in the PAGE_CONTAINER template just above </body>) but I know that it's working on my site.
Has this been tested? I can't disable the link proxy and I would like to give Viglink a try.It has not been tested with that feature enabled. I will add it to our test suite as an option to verify.
I have Ebay RSS on my forum. The RSS creates ebay rover links. The "Bid Now", "Add to watch list" or "Continue reading..." should direct the user to ebay but instead they resolve to Viglink site. Obviously I want the user to go to ebay to see the item... How can this be fixed?
My Viglink Options in the Admin panel:
- VigLink Key is populated
- Convert User Groups are all checked
- Insert User Groups are all unchecked
The installation checker may not detect the plugin, but the add on should work just fine. Please let me know if you have questions about it and I can help out directly.
