Wanting to append AFID to the end of the URL in feed results

[draneb]

I had this for each of the product feeds in AC 5.5 and found it a great tool. I was able to view the sales generated for the month and compare that to how much money I had spent for the month.

I looked in the feed generator files and did not find any mention of URL. There seems to be compiled files containing the remaining data.

If this is not currently possible what is the possibility of adding an input field to each of the feed generator files in the admin so that we can enter our affiliate id there?

Thank you.

I had the same problem myself. The feed generation routines are compiled, so you won't be able to modify them without full source code.

I didn't have full source available to me, plus I needed ways to build manufacturer-specific and vendor-specific feed files.

So I wrote my own and sell it on my AbleMods.com site. You can check it out here http://www.ablemods.com/CPC-Marketing-F ... -P8C1.aspx.

I'm loading up an updated version at the end of the day tomorrow (Monday Oct 13th 2008). It's still beta but the latest version is working very well. Only feature left to add is a campaign feature that saves all the settings into a predefined "campaign" - makes regenerating the same feed file at a later date much easier.

If there are other formats you'd like to see added, just let me know and I'll research them.

draneb,
I've already written a custom feed provider for Googlebase because you might have trouble with the field names on the old one anyway. Googlebase changed and I don't know if the one in RC1a of Able had the change or not.
I can add the afid and put it on your site. I had meant to put the revised one up, but forgot.
