• I’m looking for a plugin that will allow me to (easily) add a list of 5 or so books I’m currently reading, with their pictures, to my sidebar. So far the only Amazon-related plugins I’ve been able to track down only allow you to put images in posts. Is there anything like this out there?

  • Something’s off with Wishlist stuff today – my own wl won’t update properly. I’ve got a ping into the Amazon support staff.

    I’m just merging my changes for the random-lookup issues (if you were doing a by-time favorites instead of random, it actually worked — it did have to do with requesting more random entries than you had in the table… good catch!), and will get 1.5.2 uploaded asap.

    I actually did get the wishlist to display something, so I think at this point I have CG-Amazon running in a mostly manageable fashion. The only issue that remains is the number of items, and that’s not too difficult to get around. I am curious about the display issue with CG-Inline that I mentioned above, however. I was also thinking that it would be nice to have a quicktab interface for CG-Inline. Just a suggestion.

    New CG-PP 1.5.2 is up…

    Thanks David. What is the recommended upgrade method?

    Drag and drop. ??

    If using a local test machine, on windows you can just drag the plugins folder over your current plugins folder, and it should do the right thing. On mac, you’d need to copy by selecting folder contents and copy over. On linux, cp.

    If just uploading remote, you can just batch copy the contents of Plugins to wp-content/plugins, and contents of CG-Plugins subfolder to wp-content/cg-plugins…

    I also just quickly turned off the cg-inline buggy thing, so might want to download again before doing the update process (was only a 7-min window, but…).

    I hate to say it, but this upgrade totally messed everything up. I can’t even begin to describe the things that are broken now.

    I guess I’ll just have to wait around for a while and see if things get sorted out in the future. But at this point I can’t run this on my main blog.

    Why don’t you email me offline, and I’ll help you get it up and running. I can’t imagine what’s broken — this was primarily fixes across the board. I’d need to see it not-working to help fix it. cgcode at chait dot net.

    One good rule of thumb: activate the plugins you need, as you need them. It could be a side effect from one of the other plugins if you went and turned them all on — easily, given the current implementations of CG-Related and CG-PostOrder introduce buttons into the normal view for Admins (so turn those off first! ?? ).

    CG-Amazon and friends have been in existance for something like a year and a half… And I’ll endeavor to make sure they continue to work under most any setup! ??
