How to carry a query string in wordpress post.

Im trying to figure out how to carry an affiliate id in posts through an rss feed in wordpress. Is there a string of code i can add on to my links in my post? Or is there a plugin that can manage this?

I use runPHP
http://www.nosq.com/blog/2006/01/run...for-wordpress/

allows you to use PHP in your posts. There might be a better way, but this works for me.

This is perfect Beaver Bob. I was already trying to use php code in the post but it was making the blog display wrong.
Thank You

You will most likely need to modify your theme.

Using the default kubrick theme, here is how I put the query string in the post title.. this is in the main index template, can you see where I made the modification?

Code:
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?><?php echo (isset($_GET['ref'])) ? '?ref='.$_GET['ref'] : ''; ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
Hope that gives you an idea.

That was perfect Beaver Bob. How do you do the rss feeds? Ive searched through all the files trying to find a href spot for my query string. Is this done a different way?

you have to modify the feed-rss file in the wp-includes directory. Don't look for href but look for everywhere that displays a link.

Beaver Bob Thanks for your help so far. Im still having problems. In my feeds-rss file I found the two bits of code
Code:
<link><?php the_permalink_rss() ?></link>
Code:
<link><?php bloginfo_rss('url') . ?></link>
Is this the right code? Ive tried adding my code like this
Code:
<link><?php the_permalink_rss() . $_GET ['aff_link_id']; ?></link>
Code:
<link><?php bloginfo_rss('url') . $_GET ['aff_link_id']; ?></link>
I editted the code every way i could think of to get it to work.
So I thought i would go to feed.php and add my string to the the_permalink_rss function. This worked half ass, it will display my aff_link_id= but it will not display the actual affiliate number. I was going to try and use session variables to carry the affiliate number, but i cant seem to get it to work. Any suggestions?

try this:

Code:
<link><?php bloginfo_rss('url') ?><?php echo (isset($_GET['aff_link_id'])) ? '/?aff_link_id='.$_GET['aff_link_id'] : ''; ?> ?></link>
you just need to carry $aff_link_id in your query string

I had to add it to the function
Code:
function the_permalink_rss() {
	echo apply_filters('the_permalink_rss', get_permalink()). '?aff_link_id=' .$_GET['aff_link_id'];
Thank so much for your help
