Alternative fix for "Page not responding" but keeping masked links.

Hi folks Update: the below

Submitted by ChuckMcB on Fri, 02/12/2010 - 09:25.

Hi folks

Update: the below addresses newer "This listing (1) has been removed" errors as well.

Here's an alternative fix for the US "Page not responding" problem. This one creates masked by using base64_encode links rather than just showing the raw eBay URL. While this will not help fool Google (the big G got McJiffy's footprint nailed as a thin affiliate within a month of it's release), it will earn us some user clicks as visitors will not know where exactly they are going until they click.

Been testing it the last couple of days and all seems well, but let me know if you hit any problems.

Open index.php from the root of your McJiffy site (**save a backup copy of it**)

Find this code(about line 409):

function buylink($url, $keyword) {
global $baseUrl;
$i = strpos($url,"http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay." .GEO_COUNTRY_TLD. "%2F")+strlen("http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay." .GEO_COUNTRY_TLD. "%2F");
$url = substr($url, $i, strlen($url));
return $baseUrl ."go/".urlencode($keyword)."/".$url;
}

and replace with:
function buylink($url, $keyword) {
global $baseUrl;
return $baseUrl ."go/".urlencode($keyword)."/".base64_encode($url);
}

Next find this code (about line 484):

function goLink($str, $keyword) {
$url = 'http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/' .GEO_PLACEMENT_ID. '/1?campid='. AFFILID. '&customid=' . urlencode($keyword) . '&toolid=10005&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.' .GEO_COUNTRY_TLD. '%2F'.urlencode($str);
header('Location: ' . $url);
exit();
}

replace with:
function goLink($str, $keyword) {
header('Location: ' . base64_decode($str));
exit();
}

Now save your file & upload.

By the way, it appears that eBay changed some stuff again. I tried the prior fix with the // on the certain lines, but now even that fix is no good. If I can get this thing working again that would be great.

Chuck, I tried your fix and all I get when clicking a link is This listing (1) has been removed, or this item is not available.

I see your site is working just fine so I'd be interested in knowing if you made any other changes or getting a copy of your index.php file.

Thanks

@hubel: here you go: http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/10147 but be warned I've hacked that code up a fair bit and commented out stuff I don't use. I may not be able to provide too much support for this code.

@weezee: can you post in a new thread what changes there were. The changes that Tao and I have created do not manipulate the RSS contents, just return the raw buy link (or in my case cloak the raw buy link).

Yes, I removed all the 'similar topics' or 'related searches' code as I don't use it myself (causes too many totally unrelated pages to be generated which make my sites look too spammy) You will need to work through the code to add the removed sections back in.
