THANK YOU, Dismounted, for releasing this hack for AA here.
It is greatly appreciated!

thanks, trying out now

disregard/.....

any plans for a 3.5 version?

I wouldnt expect so. You should upgrade.

Just remove all instances of this and it should work fine on 3.5.x.

Can I ask how this does what it does?

I like to understand what I'm sticking into my server before it's served ;)

It changes any eBay links posted on your forum to ones that are linked to your AuctionAds account, see the AuctionAds section on here for more information.

:D

I understand what, I'm concerned on how...

I actually assume it's something akin to the censoring options over something like .htaccess or something funny like that.

*shrug*

I'll have my webby guy look at it, as I'm clueless (which leads to very odd bouts of paranoia).

EDIT: HA! I just realized you are the guy that wrote it... it's all good, and I'll be installing this either way. I was just curious as to how it functioned.

This doesn't seem to work for threads that have been posted before this hack was installed - any way of updating those links as well?

No real reason. auctions expire in 10 days.

Joey,

There is a real reason - while this site may not have a lot of members posting ebay auctions, one of my sites does. I have many threads in the last few days alone that would benefit from this, however it's no bid deal - at least it's good to know that from here on I might be able to make a penny or two for them :)

since yesterday the hack doesent work, i get a 404.

See here: http://www.pspfreak.de/forum/ebay/21845-verkaufe-super-game.html

the link look like this:
http://ads.auctionads.com/pagead/link_d6870f04217965676037_c2244a099b7446a212d8aabc 555a0892_http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250164894357

Now it works ..

good to hear

I added AuctionAds to a couple forums on my flooring site and they looked real good. Then I added this hack. I don't know if this is what's causing it, but now where the AuctionAds are supposed to be, all I have is a big white box.

The links work though. I certainly don't want the links at the expense of the ads though.

Jim

Don't fret Jim, this is a fairly standard practice. Auction Ads seems to go down on a regular basis. Frustration abounds.

I see the ads -

Here is a temporary fix while dismounted get a new updated release out. For those of you who dont know, Auctionads has changed to ShoppingAds.

In the plugin "Rewrite Function", find:


http://ads.auctionads.com/pagead/

and replace it with


http://ads.shoppingads.com/pagead/

Was just checking here to see if the change was posted. And it was. :)

Thank You...
