HI,
I run some sites which people link to other sites from (kinda obvious). Most of these site have affiliate schemes and I'd like to utilise them. Is it possible to use the replacement system to rewrite things like www.fudforum.org/someplace/ to www.mysites.com/somephp.php?site=www.fudforum.org&dir=/someplace/. Hopefully you get the general idea. I want to make some money from the links from my site Smile

WW.

You can use mod_rewrite to do any URL rewrites that you like, it is a very powerful tool, although a bit tricky to use at times. There is nothing in the forum that precludes you from using it to rewrite urls.

If I understand mod_rewrite correctly it rewrites urls internally, that is it rewrites the calls on my server or from my server to another, it does not modify html. What I wanted was to modify the html in my forums when someone posts a link to one of the other sites.

Well, you can do that too, but you need to edit a bit of FUDforum code specifically the code that creates the _rsid constant inside users.inc.t The value of this constant is prefixed to all forum urls so you can pack additional parameters in there.

Do I edit that to modify external links? I would have thought that was for internal links only?

Oh sorry... that's for internal links only.

When it comes to external links, such as the ones embedded in messages you'd need to edit post_proc.inc.t where the FUDcode processor that generates the URLs can be found.
