Topic Wiki

UPDATE:
@JoeyShmoe did a great job creating a Chrome Extension and a Firefox Extension to save us all the hassle of setting up a bookmarklet. The extension will place a button on any Amazon product page. When you click the button it will copy a link to your clipboard, which you can paste into any DDF post. The post will then contain the product title, image, and a working link to the product.

Thanks @JoeyShmoe!

For anyone who doesn't want to install a browser extension, read below how to set up the bookmarklet:

Here is a bookmarklet that will make a DD link from any amazon item page, and format it with the title and an image so you can paste it into a DDF post.

Example:

Little Tikes Rocking Horse Magenta ($34.07)



(Not sure what a bookmarklet is? Read more about them in this thread: http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=61269.5.)

Here's how to install the bookmarklet:

1. If you don't currently see a row of bookmarks on the top of your browser, you will need to show the bookmarks bar.
- In Chrome, click the 3 vertical dots at the top right of your screen, click Settings, and click Always Show the Bookmarks Bar.
- In Firefox, click the 3 horizontal lines at the top right of your screen, and click Customize. Then click Show/Hide Toolbars (bottom left of your screen) and check off the Bookmarks Toolbar.

2. Copy the following code. (To do so, click the SELECT button and then press control-c on your keyboard.)
Code: [Select]
javascript: (function() {
    var pattern = new RegExp("(https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/).*([dg]p\/)(?:product\/)?(..........).*|(https:\/\/smile.amazon.com\/).*([dg]p\/)(?:product\/)?(..........).*", "i"),
        match = location.href.match(pattern),
        image = document.getElementById('landingImage').src;
    var price = "";
    if (document.getElementById('priceblock_dealprice') !== null) {
        price = " (" + document.getElementById('priceblock_dealprice').innerHTML + ")";
    } else if (document.getElementById('priceblock_ourprice') !== null) {
        price = " (" + document.getElementById('priceblock_ourprice').innerHTML + ")";
    }
    var URL = (match[1] !== undefined) ? match[1] + "dp/" + match[3] + "/?tag=cl03f-20&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER" : match[4] + "dp/" + match[6] + "/?tag=cl03f-20&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER";
    var result = "[url=" + URL + "]" + document.title + price + "[/url][br][br][url=" + URL + "][img]" + image + "[/img][/url]";
    if (document.execCommand('copy') !== false) {
        var ddLink = document.createElement('span'),
            range = document.createRange();
        ddLink.id = "ddLink";
        ddLink.innerText = result;
        document.body.appendChild(ddLink);
        range.selectNode(document.getElementById('ddLink'));
        window.getSelection().addRange(range);
        document.execCommand('copy');
        document.getElementById('ddLink').remove();
        setTimeout(function() {
            alert('DD link copied to clipboard...')
        }, 1000);
    } else {
        window.prompt("Press control-c", result);
    }
    void(0);
})()

3. To create the bookmarklet, right click on your bookmarks bar and click "Add page" (if you're in Chrome) or "New bookmark" (Firefox).

For the Name, enter whatever you want (eg: Dan Amazon link), and for the URL/Location enter the code above, which you already copied.

4. Click Save (Chrome) or Add (Firefox)

To use the bookmarklet, simply click on the bookmark you created (in step 3) when you are on any amazon product page. Follow the prompts (you may need to press control-c to copy what pops up), and then paste it into any DDF post.

Enjoy!

Disclaimer: The code might need a little tweaking, so let me know if you have a link that it doesn't work on. If there are any changes I will update the wiki.

I just tried again and this time it worked. I think it only works if the page is fully loaded when you click the bookmarklet.

Meanwhile, I tried clicking the watch (above) and it didn't work. Does it work for you? If not we might have to tweak the regex.

You guys are amazing, really great work.
 Better late then ever, finally get to see the price and items of the product when click on the deal link, without having to click on the amazon link, nor leave some comments where's the price? Or why is the link not correct, or the like.
 Amazing work @etech0 and to @JoeyShmoe for all the little tweaking.

Fixed, code below. Interesting thing is that in the link you quoted the price isn't called "Price", rather "With Deal", and the id for field is also not priceblock_ourprice (which is what you have) rather priceblock_dealprice. That's why it was erroring, because the Price field was null. It also only worked with your original code that didn't include the price. I added a conditional statement that should only put in the price if one of the two above versions isn't null, otherwise there won't be a price included (I can add scenarios as we find them)

Code: [Select]
javascript:(function(){
  var pattern = new RegExp("(https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/).*([dg]p\/)(?:product\/)?(..........).*|(https:\/\/smile.amazon.com\/).*([dg]p\/)(?:product\/)?(..........).*", "i"),
      match = location.href.match(pattern),
      image = document.getElementById('landingImage').src;
  var price = "";
  if(document.getElementById('priceblock_dealprice') !== null) {
    price = " [b](" + document.getElementById('priceblock_dealprice').innerHTML + ")[/b]";
  } else if(document.getElementById('priceblock_ourprice') !== null) {
    price = " [b](" + document.getElementById('priceblock_ourprice').innerHTML + ")[/b]";
  }
  var URL = (match[1] !== undefined) ? match[1] + "dp/" + match[3] +"/?tag=cl03f-20&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER": match[4] + "dp/" + match[6] +"/?tag=cl03f-20&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER";
  var result = "[url="+URL+"]"+document.title + price + "[/url][br][br][url="+URL+"][img]"+image+"[/img][/url]";
  if(document.execCommand('copy') !== false) {
    var ddLink = document.createElement('span'),
        range = document.createRange();
    ddLink.id = "ddLink";
    ddLink.innerText = result;
    document.body.appendChild(ddLink);
    range.selectNode(document.getElementById('ddLink'));
    window.getSelection().addRange(range);
    document.execCommand('copy');
    document.getElementById('ddLink').remove();
    setTimeout(function() {
      alert('DD link copied to clipboard...')
    }, 1000);
  } else {
    window.prompt("Press control-c",result);
  } void(0);
})()

Curios to know as I never tried it, as to what happens when it's a ss item? (yes I'm not near a computer). ;)

Good point. Maybe when I have a few minutes I'll see if we can pull in both.

I just tested it and it shows the regular price. It might be a bit complicated especially with the 5%/15% prices...

Obviously it will pull what ever the page shows, whether you have 5+ items or not?

The complicated part is that amazon doesn't display both prices on the page, but just because the OP is getting 15% (or 5%) off, doesn't mean that everyone else will.
