it could be done, but you’d be much better served with one of the php classifieds scripts already available out there. at least, I’d think so.. ??

you might want to report it to Amazon, as it seems to be a lack of ‘defensive coding’ on their part (and a lack of bad coding of those modifying Object.prototype, from what I’ve read — I’m not a JS guy by any stretch!).

-d

nope. ?? I had looked at it, but put it aside as I didn’t hear a lot of interest out there — not to mention I’d have to finish my overhaul of CG-Amazon and release my v2 (which is looking like it might need to be a ‘paid’ version for more features… I can’t afford the upkeep for [mostly] free at this point…).

it’s more powerful in many ways, but that also makes it more complex. for individual items inserted inline into a post or sidebar, probably wouldn’t be too bad. For the general product queries, or the detailed ‘products listing’ pages, would be a bit tougher…

-d

My as-yet-unreleased CG-Amazon 2 does. it’s just an extra piece of JS code to run at the bottom of the page… If you hard-code it into your footer (a bit wasteful if no amazon links on a given page, which is how I can ‘control’ it…), you should get it on all amazon links through whatever plugin you use.

Note that sIFR 2.x does a ‘best match’ against the size of the box of the to-be-replaced text, then tries to size the replacement to fit. So I think things like width:100% can ‘confuse’ the algorithm. Also wrapping lines can do the same. For 2.x, you need to ensure that the replacement font matches the source font in per-glyph sizing pretty closely.

NOW, that said, sIFR 3 (and the upcoming CG-FlashyTitles 3) does a much improved job on the sizing, using a different approach/algorithm — but it is going to require new fonts as well.

check the Hosting tab. those are by far not the only choices, WebHostingTalk.com is a good place to find out more about particular hosts (and search on feedback…).

-d

ummm, move to a real host. heck, I have 110mb.com blacklisted in my anti-spam system due to it and other ‘free’ webhosting providers being havens for spammers to set up shop.

did you install something that’s causing the redirect? I don’t know that WP would do that, it can redirect ‘internal to the code’ if ever needed. Wouldn’t throw a redirect out, sounds like a plugin of some sort.

there’s no ‘separate rss feed’.

WORDPRESS SUPPORTS RSS FEEDS OF YOUR SITE DIRECTLY.

However, YOUR CHOSEN THEME MUST NOT INTERFERE WITH THE NORMAL OPERATION OF FEEDS.

Try switching to say the default or classic themes, and then try your feed url. Should work just fine. All built-in. Nothing to download.

-d

wp-cache could be the issue. older versions had no way to know comments had changed, newer versions found that comments changing frequently on heavily-visited pages killed the caching (and thus it delayed updates). this should be ‘expected results’.

-d

Use any RSS solution to pull your own RSS feed, from a particular category. That way it is cached, not a constant hit on the database…

-d

FYI, my cg-referrer is MUCH newer than what’s out there (I never released the newer feature set, but could seed you a ‘beta’ of sorts), and I found that under MySQL 5, the create failed because the CREATE statement was missing a comma at the end of one of the row declarations.

Check install_referer_table, look for commas at the end of every line in the create query except the last line — the line that I had missing the comma was:
bounceCode SMALLINT UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0'

Don’t know if that’s your issue, but thought I’d toss it out there. Might just have been a bug on my end in my newer code (which has a bunch more rows!).

-d

tom, if you contact me directly, I can try to take a look over the next few days. I thought I recently tested with at least 2.1.0, but admittedly have much newer code of all my plugins. ??

-d

use one of the registered-only plugins to restrict access, if you don’t want people outside your approved group looking at stuff.

I believe things like post-notification to the various tracking sites is done via cron events now. So if you had a ton of posts, and a lot of notification sites on your list, possible you’d get those kicked off frequently.

Just a thought.
