does this work with amazon links?

hereistheme

eddiewebb thank you! works like a charm now 🙂

tom23 yes it should work with that too with no problem.

hereistheme yes it should work with that too with no problem.
but there is always another generated ref-link if i link to products?

hereistheme

tom23 what do you mean ?

tom23

we would like to change posted amazon links to the own ref-link. but i do not think that it is possible to use always the same ref-link for each product which is posted by different users.

hereistheme

tom23 i think it is automatically changing all tags/links when enabled. also you can try https://discuss.flarum.org/d/12389-friendsofflarum-amazon-affiliation extension, i use that for amazon.

does this extension still work?

meihuak I was looking at using this on my own forum, tested it and I do not believe it works as it is now, or at least I could not get it to alter/replace any links with affiliates based on my usage.

Hi everyone, am seeing loads of abandoned extensions which is not painting a fantastic first impression as I research the potential for using Flarum, which is a pity really as the core forum software is so lightweight and crazy fast.

What's up with this?

luceos

Mand go to https://flarum.org/extensions, plenty of extensions that do work. If you miss one or want one upgraded for the current flarum version that's also possible with crowdfunding see https://flarum.org/software/get-started

Mand

luceos https://flarum.org/extensions?tableSearch=affiliate returns only this same extension, so unless I am doing something wrong I can't find alternatives that work.

luceos

Mand then you can do aProposals to patch this extension for the latest flarum version. We can enable bounties to get it done.

Not everyone needs the extensions you need, so it's not that weird for some to go abandoned over time.

Mand

thanks for the kind guidance, @luceos. I've created this https://discuss.flarum.org/d/34813-extend-amazon-affiliation-by-friendsofflarum-to-work-with-all-affiliate-links

Mand

This extension should be marked as abandoned, it breaks the mobile site if enabled.

hereistheme Hello, which theme plugin are you using?

Lumeinshin

I've been playing around with this and it does seem to work. i'm unsure if before when i'd tried it whether i had something incompatible

I still think this could do with being updated, preferably with in the admin ui an explicit URL and the appended item as a separate box, rather than the current 'onestring,seperatedwith,commas'

Currently though since its quite basic it doesn't work with a lot of affiliate links
