HELP PLEASE for the Amazon Products contribution

[poppetpink]

I've been creating my own site (so far so good (or ok!!) and thank you to everyone who creates the contributions :)

 

I have a problem with the Amazon Products one that I would love someone to help me with please...

 

I followed all of the instrucitons (I think) correctly, it shows in the admin section fine but then on the site that the public see it says:

 

if ($request_type == NON SSL) { /* only show amazon ad in NON SSL else it causes warning */ include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'amazon.php'); }

 

where the info box should be.

 

I don't know where I've gone wrong, is it possible for someone to help me please? (ASAP!!)

:blush:

Okay..., so I got it to work in the end but not the amazon link shows the price in USD $ and not in GBP £. Any ideas how to change this please?

It took a while to get this one but look at line 31 in catalog/include/boxes/amazon.php

 

'text' => '<iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=shiplinuxcom-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=' . $row[0] . '&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_top&lc1=0000ff&bc1=ffffff&bg1=ffffff&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>');

 

The "rcm.amazon.com" should be replaced with Amazon.co.uk address which is "rcm-uk.amazon.co.uk"

 

Then change to your Associates ID - ending in "-21"

 

Immediately after the ID is the code "&o=1". This should be "&o=2" as this seems to be a UK identifier.

 

So the code you need for the UK should start to look like this.

 

'<iframe src="http://rcm-uk.amazon.co.uk/e/cm?t=yourassociatesID-21&o=2&p=8&l=as1&asins=' . $row[0] .

 

Another change is the "_top" reference which can be changed to "_blank" if you want it to open in a new window

 

PS Remember to do the same in the Admin version of amazon.php if you want to view the products in the Admin section.
