Description:
This mod provides an Amazon Search button into your posting template. It converts any selected string of text into a link to Amazon that displays the Amazon search results for that string.
Amazon allows and encourages these links that draw traffic to its site. The mod provides a simple way for your forum members to provide a direct link into Amazon for books, CDs, DVDs, tools, electronics, or any type of product that is mentioned in your forum posts.
If you are in Amazon's affiliate program, your affiliate code can be automatically embedded in the link, so that you get credit for any resulting purchases.

How it's used:
When creating or modifying a post, your forum members can select text in that post and click on the Amazon Search button. The selected text will become a clickable link in the post. When visitors to your forum click on that link, a new browser page will open with the Amazon search page results for that string.
The mod also provides an easy way for your forum moderators to modifying existing posts to convert text to Amazon links.
After running the automatic install, copy the included amazonsearch.gif to your Themes/Default/Images/BBC folder. And, if you are part of Amazon's affiliate program, edit Subs.php in your Sources folder and replace the string "affiliate-id" with your affiliate ID assigned by Amazon.
