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,<

Hasn't been done that I know of, but fairly simple to do I would guess<

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.
