type: Multi (template)

  • I trying to make a template that can handle just a simple image and text, but for 1 to 3 items. image here shows 2 items

    It took me a while, but I discovered the template needs to be a Template Type “multi”.

    From the looks of other multi templates, some JS will be needed. I’m not finding any documentation or even references to this at all.

    Any recommendations?

    I’d go ahead and delete this if I could.

    I created a multi template like this:

    <script type="text/javascript">
amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0";
amzn_assoc_search_bar = "false";
amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "%TAG%";
amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual";
amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart";
amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon";
amzn_assoc_region = "US";
amzn_assoc_title = "My Amazon Picks";
amzn_assoc_linkid = "80e86bf226e6889b5bea4e1ed65d556d";
amzn_assoc_asins = "%ASINS%";
</script>
<script src="//z-%REGION%.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/onejs?MarketPlace=%MPLACE%"></script>

    Then blocked out a couple things the client doesn’t want, using CSS.

    You can put multiple ASIN’s in a shortcode and the plugin will automatically create two instances of the template.

    I also did an extra plugin that allowed you to embed one template inside another one, so you could do a container template then inside expand several smaller templates. This was to create a ‘slider/carousel’ affect.

    Based on jcarousel. So the container template was something like:

    Name: Slider
    Type: Multi
    Content:

    <div class="slider_container">
 <div>%TEXT%</div>
 <div class="jcarousel">
  <ul>
   %T_SLIDER_ITEM%
  </ul>
 </div>
 <a href="#" class="jcarousel-control-prev">
   ?
  </a>
  <a href="#" class="jcarousel-control-next">
   ?
  </a>
</div>

    Then it contains the Slider Item:

    Name: Slider Item
    Type: Product
    Content:

    <li class="al_found%FOUND%">
  <div class="slider_img">
    %LINK_OPEN%<img alt="%TITLE%" title="%TITLE%" src="%THUMB%" class="slider_img">%LINK_CLOSE%
  </div>
  <div style="font-size:80%">
   <b>%ARTIST%</b></br>
   %TITLE%</bR>
   %RATING_LINK%</br>
   %LINK_OPEN%<img src="%BUY_BUTTON%">%LINK_CLOSE%
  </div>
</li>
