What does the module do?

This module will allow you to add a Special URL button to your CKEdiotr. In the configuration page you will be able to add a prefix and a suffix to any keyword that you choose while writing on your editor.

Why do you need this?

Let's say you are an Amazon or eBay affiliate. Instead of going to Amazon or eBay to generate your affiliate links, you can quickly create affiliate links by pressing the Special URL link button. Here are a few other advantages of this module: You can switch all links from Amazon affiliate to eBay EPN to any other site that you like in two seconds. Even for links in content already published. If you are an Amazon affiliate, for example, you will be able to change the associate ID anytime. Or switch all your links to eBay EPN or any other site that you like.

eBay setup

(You will need to have an eBay EPN account approved for this.)

The easiest way to create eBay affiliate links.
Enter http://www.ebay.com/sch/ in prefix and leave the rest blank. Then use the script that eBay provides to create smart eBay links. You can learn more about eBay smart linking here. You can verify it is working by check to see if the links point to rover.ebay.com/
