I have noticed the product spec $oProducts->sSpecification sometimes returns a URL.
this i fine i have used preg_replace to extract a URL link when this occours.

however i have noticed that occasionally the URL contains the string !!!id!!!

e.g. http://www.mobiles.co.uk/refer.aspx?page=cart.aspx&product_code=NN96&dspid=3347&tid=735&wlid=1&utm_source=awinm&utm_medium=CMP&utm_term=n96&utm_content=N96+2N8O0M18&refer=awinm-NN96-2-!!!id!!!&offerID=177

should i replace this with my AW id?

Hello 84585 (sounds like I am speaking to an inmate :D ),

I have unmapped the specifications column in ShopWindow and I am speaking with the account handler about removing those links.

!!!id!!! would normally be replaced with your affiliate ID. This can commonly be seen on deeplinks that are posted on the A4U forum for specific promotions.

Cheers, so this will hopefully not be seen in the future, or should i put my affiliate ID in there for the moment?

Hi,

I will take steps to remove it after they justify why it is there.
The specifications column is rarely used to be honest and so for now I would attempt to drop that column if that is possible?
