Re: Amazon referrals firefox extension for GNOME



I guess what you're trying to do is clicking on the link in the mail.
In gmail that somehow does not work for me neither

If copy paste it in the url bar it works for me

Otherwise just go to
http://ftp.haitsma.org
and subsequently click on the friendofgome.xpi

If that does not work you can always download it and subsequently
install it by just using File -> Open

Quick question, as I can't figure it out, but how do you manually install
the extension?  Going to Tools -> Add-Ons, I see how to get addons from
Mozilla, but I don't see an install local option, like I do in Thunderbird.

Just trying to help test it out!  :)

OK, I now have a 0.99 version of the Friend of GNOME extension setup
with all the new referrals code we made

Can you give it a try
http://ftp.haitsma.org/friendofgnome.xpi

It basically adds a referrer code to the url whenever you get onto the
amazon site from another site and there is no referrer set yet.
(Changing a referrer is not allowed by the terms of Amazon)

You'll see the following added to your url

tag=friendofgnome-20  for .com site
tag=friendofgnome-ca-20  for .ca site
tag=friendofgnome-uk-21  for .uk site
tag=friendofgnome-de-21  for .de site
tag=friendofgnome-fr-21  for .fr site
tag=friendofgnome-jp-22  for .jp site

Would be nice that somebody could actually buy something so we can see
if it works OK. Let us know what you bought and we can check if the
GNOME foundation gets the referral fee.

When it works I'll put the extension on addons.mozilla.org and look at
where to put it on the gnome site

Jaap

Done. For Japan you just had an option to go for gift certificates or
a bank account. I believe bank account should be in Japan. So I went
for the gift certificate at the moment. We should have japanese
speaking GNOME member have a look at this.

For the french store I've made friendofgnome-fr-21 for the japanese
friendofgnome-jp-21

Stormy,

I'll sent you the passwords in a seperate email

I did the German one. That high school German was good for something

If you could do France and Japan, that'd be great.

amazon gnome org

And I selected payment by check for all the ones I filled out.

Thanks,

Stormy,

If you are on american affiliate page
https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/
You can select the locale at the top right that gives you access to
all the others including the French and German

I can do the French and German one, without too much trouble and can
have a go at the japanese one (the sites are pretty similar and google
translate always helps). Which email address should I use?
I need contact information

street,
postal code
city
state
tel phone number

I created accounts in:

http://associates.amazon.ca, friendofgnome06-20 (friendofgnome-20

not
available)

Now I could use some help:

I found the web page for https://affiliate.amazon.co.jp but it was
in
Japanese ...
I couldn't find France or Germany's affiliate pages.
Any others?

Thanks,

Hi,

I packaged up the friendofgnome amazon referral extension. It's
here
if you want to try it
http://ftp.haitsma.org/friendofgnome.xpi
Comments appreciated. I'll put it on mozilla addons site when we
decide it's ready

I also added for the non-US stores the referral code. It's also
friendofgnome but in europe a -21 gets added and in japan -22.

This is the relevant code

      if (check('co.uk')) { return 'friendofgnome-21'; }
       else if (check('de') || check('at')) { return
'friendofgnome-21'; }
       else if (check('fr') ||
uri.host.toLowerCase().indexOf('amazone.com') != -1) { return
'friendofgnome-21'; }
       else if (check('ca')) { return 'friendofgnome-20'; }
       else if (check('co.jp') || check('jp')) { return
'friendofgnome-22'; }
       else { return 'friendofgnome-20'; }

Stormy,

Can you make these referral accounts in the respective shops?

Hi Jaap,

It's also possible to add in the extensions as we get new ones -
with
just
amazon.com it's already useful.

Cheers,
Dave.

   Hi,

   I picked up the task from
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/Tasks
   that wants to make a copy of iheartmiro
http://www.iheartmiro.org/
   It's mostly ready and I called the extension: friendofgnome

   What I'm missing are the affiliate ID's for all the different
regions
   (.com, .co.uk <http://co.uk>, ca, .fr, .de, .co.jp
<http://co.jp>).

   Stormy,

   Can you set up these accounts and id's? Once you have setup
the
   accounts you can add extra id's to it. I suggest you use
   friendofgnome.
