amazon aStore as a page

Yes, i have archives.php and links.php. I use bloxpress2 for the theme which has these 2 files in themes/bloxpress2/blocks/archive.php and links.php. They are not in my bloxpress2 theme folder which is where index.php and the like are.

hmmm… i wonder if that theme works a little differently because of the “blocks” it uses? my archive.php and links.php files have always been in the theme folder (not a sub of that.)

sorry for thinking aloud. was hoping i could help, but the blocks subfolder is throwing me a bit.

the theme looks really cool though! i’ve never seen that one before.

Yea, that’s what i am thinking. It is cool, but things like this really stop me from using it. Thanks guys for your help.

Hi all. So far I have created the template and got that into the drop down box in the page creator thing. I have tried to use the code given by Carnold, (inserting my amazon id) and I either get an error message, a blank page or a page on how to create an amazon store – instead of my store. Any suggestions welcome! Speek slowly as I am a bit new to this!

Hi timinNZ,

I went to your site. I do get a blank page. Try creating a page first just with the default template. So we know if your new template is the problem.

Hi there – I can create pages okay and seem to have created the new template too. I suspect my problem is in the area of getting the amazon code to work – the code bit is a bit beyond me! Thanks for the assistance!

When you goto the astore at amazon.com, then build links, at the end of that process is where you get you code that you will then paste into your new page. Hope this helps

here’s a weird thing. in order to get my store page to work, i had to change the page slug to “shop”, instead of “store”. i have NO idea WHY, considering i do not have any other pages, files, or directories in my web space that are named “store”. but for some reason, wp didn’t like it.

if you’re getting a blank page or 404, maybe give that a shot?

*scratches head*

Thanks for the assistance. I am still getting a blank page. When I insert the code from amazon do I simply copy and past it or is there anything else I need to insert it into?

I think I may have fixed it… but I am not sure what I did differently…

Hi all,

This is a very helpful thread that helped me learn about using my Amazon astore inline frame code. I do have a question (I think with a simple answer) that I’m hoping others on this thread can help me with…

I have created a template named “shop” and got it down to the bare essentials of code. I then inserted my astore inline frame code….but I can’t seem to get the store aligned right. Can anyone offer some advice?

Here’s my page with the astore https://wedreaming.com/?page_id=36

See how it’s overlapping on the left side?

Here’s my “shop” template code
[code]
<?php
/*
Template Name: Shop
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<iframe src="https://astore.amazon.com/wedreaming-20" width="90%" height="1000" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

</div>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>
[code]

I have tried changing the width percent using lower percentages and also tried changing it to pixels. Still no deal.

Can someone offer any advice here? I'm using the Default WP theme, Kubrick.

Thanks for any help.
