**What would you like done?**
I need a theme or plugin creating which transforms specific URLs in posts.
For example, if a user creates a post and uses a link to `https://example.com` then this link should be transformed so when anyone clicks on it they are taken to `https://example.com/affiliate/my-code`
Some other possible combinations:
`https://example.com`
`https://example.com/`
`https://www.example.com`
`https://www.example.com/`
Those should also be transformed so when clicked they are taken to `https://example.com/affiliate/my-code`
An exclusion is required where the user post a link to a specific page on that site.
eg:
`https://example.com/some-product/page/here`
`https://example.com/some-other-product/or-page/over-here`
Those should _not_ be transformed and should take people to that page when clicked.
The `https://example.com/affiliate/my-code` currently onebox’s just fine so this onebox compatibility must be maintained.
The solution should be easy to install, either via the Discourse admin control panel or via adding a GitHub repo to `app.yml`
**When do you need it done?**
Delivery by the end of August 2024 is a deal breaker, I cannot move this date 🙂
**What is your budget, in $ USD that you can offer for this task?**
GBP£250 / EUR€290 / USD$317

Thank you! My intent is to make a more general purpose version available publicly (without the URL hard-coded).
I decided that this has broader use that I first imagined, so it’s now available [on github](https://github.com/literatecomputing/discourse-affiliate-linker). See [Discourse-affiliate-linker - Plugins and Themes - Literate Computing Dashboard](https://dashboard.literatecomputing.com/t/discourse-affiliate-linker/950) to see it in use, and Real Soon Now it’ll be in #Customization > Theme component .
@Richie you might check out this version, as there’s some chance that I’ll maintain it since at least I am using it.

This is great.
Is it ready for use? Can it be used for Amazon Referals\affiliates?

Why don’t you use the [Discourse Affiliate](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-affiliate/101937) plugin?

Right. And this won’t work at all for Amazon referrals, as it works only for links to the home page.

If you’re unable to use the Discourse Affiliate Plugin
This #Customization > Theme component can likely be modified. Though not sure if it can modify Amazon short links
