I am making a WP site and am an amazon associate. I know programmers love challenges, so I'll ask here. If you tell me the answer, you can sell it as a plugin/widget whatever.
This widget is the rss feed importer side widget on wordpress 4.2.x.
The rss feed returns the feed from a specified amazon feed with the links to the products. However, the feed I get from has it's own associate tag that I want to replace with mine in places.
This is the feed url where I got the problem : http://rssfeeds.s3.amazonaws.com/goldbox
Wordpress returns the feed with their associate tag. I want to change that. Sample returns:
Link example below:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/null/ref=xs_gb_rss_A1FRT0QGM9CTO/?ccmID=380205&tag=theirassociateid-20
tag=associate-20
The above code is what I would want to swap in php code with my associate id.
Use yourassid-20 in code sample, please.
Plus the below code returns a Title URL to amazon, http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox .
I'd like to know how I can append my associate id to that either with ?tag=associate-20 or simple tag=associate-20
The below code is from a wp install root/wp-includes/default-widgets.php from line 1137 on my copy.
Thanks, any pointers would be appreciated.
I'm a php peasant, all I know is from youtube vids, which is nothing ATM.
