I'm searching for a MOD that will evaluate all links in a new post or reply and append some text to the end of the URL if it is linking to a certain domain. For example...
If someone types "www.blahblah.com" into a post or reply, when it gets written to the database (and subsequently displayed) it will be "www.blahblah.com/?afid=567GH" but if they post any url other than a "blahblah.com" one, it will not get appended.
This is for an affiliates link situation.
If this has not been done, is there anyone willing to give it a try?
Thanks in advance,< |

If you want to do this with specific URLs only, you could (ab)use Snitz's bad word filter to replace domain.tld/ with domain.tld/?querystring

Good thought, but wouldn't work. Sometimes it would be domain.tld/thispage.cfm?prod_id=9382746223&sid=af432. I would want to append to the end of that as long as domain.tld matched what I wanted.< |

Why wouldn't that work :
Bad word : (the F word) gets changed to ****
Bad word : domain.tld gets changed to domain.tld/thispage.cfm?prod_id=9382746223&sid=af432< |

Laser, I think what Sam wants to do is append an affiliate id to any URI within a specific domain. E.G., domain.tld/ would need to replaced with domain.tld/?afid=ID and domain.tld/page.asp?querystring would need to be replaced with domain.tld/pages.asp?querystring&afid=ID
Using the bad word filter to acheive this would mean that Sam would have to enter every page his members could link to along with a seperate entry for every possible querystring combination. If it's a big site, it's going to be quite a tedious process.
One way to do it woud be to use the functions that process URIs in inc_func_common.asp to check for the presence of domain.tld, / and ? and append his affiliate ID as necessary. Unfortunately, that'd be quite a big job, moreso if there's more than one domain.

Using regular expressions might make it easier....
I'd offer some help, but I'm still fighting with the sub-forums and a small download issue< |

Probably would be but, unfortunately, I'm still too ropey with them to be able to work with them confidently. I'll throw my code up later in the week and maybe someone else can edit it to use RexExps.

I've currently got a mod in (custom built myself) that inserts "rel=nofollow" for any external links....(Which means that with this mod, you can effectively target internal vs. external domains linked in your post.
As for the amazon question - i'm developing the bb code for that now...is there any interest in that?
if so, please email me garyrobar@gmail.com - sucks that this forum doesn't allow subscriptions...< |
