I am aware of this issue. The problem is, that the customer has to select the model first, to get the exact price. The Amazon API does not deliver any price in that case. I’ll see what options we have and hopefully will find a way to handle this for the next update.

Hi Alex,
thanks for your feedback.
Import and export are on the feature list for future updates. ??

Great solution.
I will provide a method to check if a collection exists with the next update. When the dev version is in the SVN I’ll inform you.

Hi Jeremy,
what exactly do you mean with product listings? If you mean the way you place the products in your posts then you have to change the template file which renders the product, eg default.htm and add the placeholder {$ProductDescription} as the default template does not contain this by default.

You can find the list of all placeholders here: https://www.wp-amazon-plugin.com/guide/placeholders/

and a step by step guide how to change the templates here: https://www.wp-amazon-plugin.com/guide/

Hi,
this could be a problem with your Amazon account. Please refer to an article I wrote about the changes Amazon made:
https://www.wp-amazon-plugin.com/2012/682/issue-with-using-the-amazon-products-advertising-api-for-associates-request-from-blacklist_xyz-is-throttled/

For any other question please have lot at the official homepage, there is a guide, a FAQ and a forum with lots of information:

If that does not help, you’ll find a contact form there where you could write me a message.

Regards,
Timo

You could create a custom template and change the code for the link to the Amazon product page. If you take for example the default template, you could change the HTML from
<a href="{$AmazonUrl}">...
to
<a href="{$AmazonUrl}" rel="nofollow">

As this plugin follows the concept of templates, it’s your decision how to implement the Amazon products into your pages. The built-in templates are just examples and you are free to change them.

I have added an option to the setup panel for using the short link style. It will be part of the next update.

If you are impatient you may grab the file AsaCore.php from the Subversion repository: https://svn.wp-plugins.org/amazonsimpleadmin/trunk/

Please leave me a note if it works for you.

The problem that occured on updating should be fixed with the latest update.

There will check the validity of shorter URLs and include an option in the next version asap.

Hi meydot,
thanks for your reply.
Did you insert all mandadory data in the setup panel? What Amazon store do you use?
Regarding the templates this should be the last time they were delted, as I wrote on the plugin’s homepage in advance: https://www.wp-amazon-plugin.com

Hi meydot,
that’s right and I am sorry for that. I guess with one of the last versions WordPress changed the plugin update process. The whole directory gets deleted.

The last days I was working on a soultion to automatically backup the templates on updating. This will be part of the next version. But as this functionality comes with the next version, you must backup your templates for the next update for yourself again (hopefully for the last time! :-))

Thank you very much for the patience!

I am committing a new version to the plugin repository right now.

If you like my plugin, please recommend it ??

And if you want new features feel free to contact me at eg https://www.wordpress-amazon-plugin.com/ (will change this to https://www.wp-amazon-plugin.com/ soon)

Yes, I will do so and add some options to the backend.

For now to fix the problem (works for me) before I commit a new version you could update the file AsaCustomerReviews.php in the plugin’s root dir with the one I just updated in the svn trunk:

https://svn.wp-plugins.org/amazonsimpleadmin/trunk/

The problem occurs when opening the Amazon review page to get the customer ratings. When opening the page with the php function fopen there is a problem (I don’t know why yet). I give curl the priority now, this still seams to work. If curl is not available on your server the customer ratings may be broken by now but the errors should not be filling the server logs any more… ??

Ok, it seams to be a problem with parsing the reviews.

Hi guys,
I am not silent any more, I was just working the whole day… ??

Now I am on this and I hope to find a solution shotly! Please be patient.

Someone has new ideas by now? I am just starting researches…

Pleas also look here (https://www.wordpress-amazon-plugin.com/2011/126/new-version-0-9-9-2-released/) On this site the plugin still works by the way…
