Paul you sir are a star! Going to test this now =)

Hmm for some reason all I get is a malformed ‘TEXT LINK’ – see screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/zusFeuz.jpg

<a onMouseOut="al_link_out()" onMouseOver="al_gen_multi(800170839, {uk : 'S-Disney Big Hero 6 Easter Eggs Surprise Box Grandes Héroes Huevos Sorpresa 2015 by Toys Collector',us : 'S-Disney Big Hero 6 Easter Eggs Surprise Box Grandes Héroes Huevos Sorpresa 2015 by Toys Collector',de : 'S-Disney Big Hero 6 Easter Eggs Surprise Box Grandes Héroes Huevos Sorpresa 2015 by Toys Collector',es : 'S-Disney Big Hero 6 Easter Eggs Surprise Box Grandes Héroes Huevos Sorpresa 2015 by Toys Collector',fr : 'S-Disney Big Hero 6 Easter Eggs Surprise Box Grandes Héroes Huevos Sorpresa 2015 by Toys Collector',jp : 'S-Disney Big Hero 6 Easter Eggs Surprise Box Grandes Héroes Huevos Sorpresa 2015 by Toys Collector',it : 'S-Disney Big Hero 6 Easter Eggs Surprise Box Grandes Héroes Huevos Sorpresa 2015 by Toys Collector',cn : 'S-Disney Big Hero 6 Easter Eggs Surprise Box Grandes Héroes Huevos Sorpresa 2015 by Toys Collector',in : 'S-Disney Big Hero 6 Easter Eggs Surprise Box Grandes Héroes Huevos Sorpresa 2015 by Toys Collector',ca : 'S-Disney Big Hero 6 Easter Eggs Surprise Box Grandes Héroes Huevos Sorpresa 2015 by Toys Collector',br : 'S-Disney Big Hero 6 Easter Eggs Surprise Box Grandes Héroes Huevos Sorpresa 2015 by Toys Collector'}, 'us', 'default');" rel="nofollow" title="Disney Big Hero 6 Easter Eggs Surprise Box Grandes Héroes Huevos Sorpresa 2015 by Toys Collector" href="https://www.amazon.com/mn/search/?_encoding=UTF8&linkCode=ur2&camp=1634&creative=19450&tag=-&field-keywords=Disney Big Hero 6 Easter Eggs Surprise Box Grandes Héroes Huevos Sorpresa 2015 by Toys Collector">Link Text</a>

When I hover over the link I get the list of flags and clicking those will show me correct items on Amazon. Also no bugs showing in firebug. I can see the title is being passed when I look at the debug info. Hmm, any idea what I am doing wrong here?

I should point out I am able to insert a standard iframe product like so:

[amazon template=iframe image&asin=B002EEP3NO]

I should also mention I am using custom post type ‘Videos’

…will continue testing and share results.

Actually the wishlist is what I am after so I will focus on that.

Wishlist will display properly on custom post type. Just unsure how to implement the %POST_TITLE% and other variables in the wishlist template:

<div class="al_found%FOUND%">
 <div class="amazon_prod">
  <div class="amazon_img_container">
   %LINK_OPEN%<img class="%IMAGE_CLASS%" src="%THUMB%">%LINK_CLOSE%
  </div>
  <div class="amazon_text_container">
   <p>%LINK_OPEN%%TITLE%%LINK_CLOSE%</p>
   <div class="amazon_details">
     <p>by %ARTIST% [%MANUFACTURER%]<br />
        Rank/Rating: %RANK%/%RATING%<br />
        <b>Price: <span class="amazon_price">%PRICE%</span></b>
    </p>
   </div>
  </div>
 </div>
<img src="https://www.assoc-amazon.%TLD%/e/ir?t=%TAG%&l=as2&o=%MPLACE_ID%&a=%ASIN%" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />
</div>

Hmm after thinking about this some more…Is this impossible to do with the wishlist template? I am basically looking to list 3 Amazon products related to the post title. Appreciate any insight!

I was able to get this working with the Amazon Search Widget as mentioned here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/display-amazon-links-based-on-post-title

Does anyone think it would be possible to get an HTML list for searching products by %POST_TITLE%? Something like the wishlist?

There is a way to do this…

But it involves the plugin doing a search request to the AWS to get a list of products, then the plugin doing a product lookup for those three products (which probably won’t be cached). So might slow page load times down.

I’ll look into it,

Paul

>>So might slow page load times down.

Ahh I see. I think ideally I would show 3-6 products in a row of <div>’s. A shame the results can’t be cached but I guess prices change, etc. Also building it out as HTML will be very useful for spiders.

>>I’ll look into it

Cheers! Let me know if you have something to test =)

Hi,

The plugin will cache the product data, but if the search results change frequently then the new products will need a lookup. So if your lucky only the initial search will not be cached.

There is a method of doing live searches via shortcodes, however it is not compatible with the POST_TITLE keyword…

The syntax to perform live searches is as follows:

[amazon s_index=All&s_author=&s_title=search keywords&s_page=1&wishlist_items=3&template=wishlist]

The trouble is you can’t use the %POST_TITLE% keyword in the shortcode as it won’t be processed when it does the search (so it searches for POST_TITLE, not too useful).

Another option would be to use the external function amazon_shortcode(“[amazon …]”) in your theme’s template. Note this would have to be inside the ‘loop’. Something like:

<?php
   if (function_exists(amazon_shortcode))
      echo amazon_shortcode("s_index=All&s_author=s_page=1&wishlist_items=3&template=wishlist&s_title=" . get_the_title()); ?>

hi paul thanks for the great plugin I have implemented this as above with the code in functions and it appears to be correct.. I also noted that when i Utilize the Amazon Link Extra – Redirect, it changs some of th characters in the final ULR in the broser bar… It still gets to where its supposed to go, but im not sure if its formatted corrctly.
can i PM you?

Also stars not showing next to rating?

Sorry another question is it possible to

• Set title length to n characters (end on full word so assets dosent end up as ass ??
• Stop zero price products showing in feed

Hi,

Sorry for the lack of response, rather busy at the moment!

It’s possible Amazon Link Redirect will have ‘over’ escaped some of the characters, do you have an example?

The AWS no longer supports the rating, I have an extra plugin that will grab that info direct from the product page, however it isn’t too reliable.

For the title length you could try adding a filter, give you a chance to try some PHP out…

Here’s my attempt, change the 25 to change the length…

function alx_extras_title ($title) {
      return strtok(wordwrap($title, 25, "...\n"), "\n");
   }
      add_filter('amazon_link_template_process_title', 'alx_extras_title',11,1);

The price thing is a bit harder, maybe add a new keyword ‘NO_PRICE’ which equates to 0 or 1 if no price is available, then use css to hide items that have no price?

Paul

Cheers Paul, no problem, im just creating / frankenstines monster website anyway, and trying to see if google will index 300,000 pages of S**t. (with affiliate products:)
