Me to, the "convert account" option is a bit vage, I think this also doesn't work.

I think that I've figured this out. I think the phpBB instructions are intentionally vague on this particular configuration because confusion can monetarily benefit them and may be a compromise from their initial standpoint of even building the extension into the native phpbb package.

Anyway, this viglink extension differs from all other extensions in that it isn't configurable for YOU or your board, it's basically an on/off switch for phpBB's hard-coded viglink ID. There is no way to use this to edit it to put yours in, it just turns theirs on or off. Seems that if you want to use viglink for YOU, you will need to follow viglink's instructions for putting the code for your account into your overall footer file, and have viglink turned off with this extension.

At least, that's what it seems to be from the testing and evaluation I've done.

you'll see
Your VigLink API Key:
Copy your API key from the viglink.com account page and paste it here.

enter your API Key from http://www.viglink.com/account?vgref=phpBB

and that's all there is to it.

VigLink will automatically convert merchant links into affiliate links transparently, when a merchant link is clicked.

You can post a question or look though existing answers at: http://getsatisfaction.com/viglink

I don't see the Viglink API in Board Settings.
