 * Hi!
 * I was searching for a way to embed Green Man Gaming information on my gaming 
   blog and this plugin fits my needs perfectly! Can anyone please tell me how to
   remove the auto aff links?
 * I’d much rather donate than feature someones affiliate links 😀
 * Cheers.
 * Below is the full code of the plugin. Any help would be very much appreciated:
 *     ```

 * Changing:
 * `static $enableAffiliate = true;`
 * To false removes the aff link from the title box bit it still displays in the
   price.

 * That’s about as far as I’ve got guys. Changing anything else, I end up breaking
   the plugin 😀

 * Changing `static $enableAffiliate = true;` should do what you want*; it seems
   there’s a bug in the code that doesn’t extend that to pricing links. I’ll get
   that fixed for the next release. In the meantime, edit parsers/greenmangaming.
   php and change
    `if($price) $data['footerbutton']= '<a href="'.$data['displayurl'].'"
   >'.$price.'</a>';` to `if($price) $data['footerbutton']= '<a href="'.$onebox-
   >data['url'].'">'.$price.'</a>';`
 * * you will have to do this every time you update the plugin.

 * Hey Mac,
 * Thanks for helping me out, it’s very much appreciated. You’ve got no idea how
   many plugins I tried to use to scrape content from GMG, your plugin really was
   a lifesaver 😀

 * Sorry, forgot to mention. Are the links automatically nofollowed as it doesn’t
   appear so from the source code.

 * The links are not nofollowed, because they are generated in javascript, and therefore
