I would like to be able to automatically change links into affiliate links automatically on my MediaWiki installation. This would help to reduce the amount
Right way is to use LinkerMakeExternalLink mediawiki hook like that ( you can put it at bottom of your LocalSettings.php:
$wgHooks['LinkerMakeExternalLink'][] = 'ExampleExtension::exampleLinkerMakeExternalLink';
class ExampleExtension {
public static function exampleLinkerMakeExternalLink( &$url, &$text, &$link, &$attribs, $linktype ) {
if( strpos( $url, 'gog.com') !== false ) {
$url .= '?pp=708a77db476d737e54b8bf4663fc79b346d696d2';
}
return false;
}
}
