Good luck with the German one! Great idea. Is there any other information that can be accessible, e.g. subject or genre? That would be ideal in order to not display irrelevant daily deals. Since the Author field is there, do you think a future version would allow a config to only match predefined authors? |
I suppose it is technically possible to filter by author but as a matter of being practical- I don't believe they repeat authors all that often... You'd literally be trying to guess at a handful from a pool of millions.
I suppose there could be an option that the title, author, and description fields were searched for keywords you specify, and if any of those were found, then it would post the deal- a lot like the RSS feed search works. I will try and work that in but I probably won't delay a UK/German release to add that feature. |
This is great THANK YOU!
Any plans for a Free Amazon App of the Day version? |
Amazon App of The Day is best done via the RSS Feed: http://geekexile.com/amazon_rss.php
No need to re-invent the wheel, it will do basically the same as this. |
You could do that, but what I like about your mod is it posts everything in the same thread instead of creating a new thread every day.
Also the RSS feed does not seem to contain a link you can click on to get the app. :) |
I use this mod to make all posts in the same thread:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=261003 Example of how I use it on my forum: http://www.juot.net/forums/showthrea...t=59771&page=3 So that gets it pretty close. Unless that RSS feed closes down I don't anticipate making one for the app deals. |
Updated to 1.03 to deal with when they (Amazon) use HTML tags inside multi-deal titles like they did today.
Like with the last update if you're not concerned about the version number all you need to do is upload the new php file in the /includes/cron/ directory. However you can follow the full upgrade instructions to have your installed version number updated as well. |
Updated to Version 1.04
-Fixed the problem that showed up today with Amazon using a different image URL for today's deal. -Pushed the default time back of the cron job about 2 hours. Amazon has been late posting the deal lately causing empty data to be collected. It is recommended you run the full upgrade procedure. (Upload an overwrite the php file AND import and overwrite = Yes the product xml file.) |
Updated to 1.06-
Fixes a few changes Amazon has made over the last couple weeks, including this morning's change to the multi-book deal price. Overwrite all files on upload and re-import xml product file, allow overwrite set to yes. |
Installed the new version and now its not filling in all the info.
Was working fine before. Here is what a post looks like now. http://www.satelliteguys.us/chit-cha...ml#post2851241 Quote:
