Really not sure where to toss this post so I'm placing it here but I'm looking around for a Wordpress plugin like the one here ZinText but without the 10% commission take on your links (Thieves I tell ya Thieves) and without the flashy double underlined and hover over effects.

Basically I'd like to have a plugin for EPN where I can manually go through a new post and find words like Nintendo Entertainment System and wrap it inside of a tag something like [epn cat=1234]Nintendo Entertainment System[/epn].

Then what it does is auto formats that post and turns Nintendo Entertainment System into your ebay affiliate link.

Not looking for anything flashy or over-done for this, anyone see any plugins like that around? I've been searching but nothing has really been appealing to me so far.

I think if no one here has seen anything out there that I could use I'll probably just take the 2 hours and program one for myself but I'd much rather spend that 2 hours on building unique content for the site or building backlinks since my goal for 2011 is to spend less time programming shit on the sites and spend more time generating traffic and sales.
 


phpbay is damn close to the syntax you posted, though it normally shows listings... This seems like it'd be some hacked up jambalaya, but never thought of this in an automated fashion...

Would be like- [phpbay]nintendo system, 1, cat 3#'S[/phpbay]

You could modify the post template to remove images and only show the link text of your choice -- might be just as much work/less bloated if you can throw something together.
 
Does this help?

I did look over phpBay but it is a bit of hacking phpBay does an excellent job there is no doubt about it but my requirements are well less then what they do, I was thinking about hacking away at there plugin but since I already have the API class wrote for eBay I think it'll take me less time to turn it into my own plugin.

Basically I just want something toned down and super simplistic, nothing fancy, put API and CampID here, wrap keyword in tags, let plugin link to active auction, let user buy auction, let EPN increase my future Cost Per Click.


This almost helps except that I don't want to spend the time looking for the product links (I'm lazy and just want to write and tweak, searching takes too long).
