That'll be fixed in the next release.

One of the things my members are upset about is it seems to be showing the suggested retailer price of the items, not the lower price Amazon is actually charging.

Is there anyway to fix that?

Great mod so far, I am going to nominate it for MOTM!

I'll have to look into the pricing. The data has a whole load of prices in it, I'll have to find which is the right one. I'll add it to the list for the next release.

Thanks!

I need one or two people who are willing to do some alpha testing for me... I've added a bunch of new features and have tested it myself and it seems to be working. But I'd like somebody else to take a whack at it.

PM me if you're interested.

Ok, I'm up for it.... :up:

Send a PM... :)

Badger

PM me your e-mail address.

Nice! Thanks!

Ladies and Gentlemen.... I present to you:

Version 1.00.00 B6.

Included in this update:

- Corrected a number of incorrect phrases.
- Corrected the display of "powered by" and "Searched" and similiar phrases that referenced Amazon.com. If you're in the UK, you'd rather see Amazon.co.uk, right? Now you will.
- Corrected issue with the display of prices. On the main page, it will display the list price (and refers to it as such). On the detail page it will show the actual price.
- Added an option to display a message at the top of each page.
- Added permissioning.
- Added an open to display the detail page URLs as "descriptive URLs". The title of the item being viewed will be used in the URL. Search engine spiders like this kind of stuff.
- Added an open to turn the store on and off

MAKE SURE YOU READ THE "ECS Amazon Store.TXT" file weather you're upgrading to installing for the first time. There are new options and you'll have to update your .htaccess if you want the descriptive URLs to work properly. Note that you will need mod_rewrite for this to work as well.

A special thanks to the two guys who helped out with Alpha testing. Thanks, and thanks again!

Let me know if you find any issues or have any questions.

I keep getting this error

never mind.. works wonderful!
IT was a php5 issue!

GREAT MOD.. thanks!

How can we put a little preview on the mainpage with a list of titles?

Ok, good.

Eh... What do you mean?

I think he is asking for something like a vba cmps module

Oh... I'll see what I can do.

upgraded and works wonderful,nice extra features too

Good to hear.

Im kinda afraid of this:

No need to be. If you don't use the "descriptive URLs" function, then you won't need to make any changes to your .htaccess.

Hello and THANKS for the Mod :)

(i upgraded my server to php5 only for this future:D )

First
How do i get fixed the problem with german letters? They look for example so : römisch (should be "r?misch")

Second
You have automated the Page-Title and the URL (seo-ed), is it possible to automate also the Meta-Description and the Keywords?

Third
There are many many Links to the Storearticles, is it possible to have the option "no follow"
(or how can i fix it manually?)


Fourth

"Customer Reviews" (only this phrase) is in english

Fifth
There are no "rating stars" only the phrase: "Rating: x out of x"

amazing
can admin get some % on each purchase?

No. I also have Associates accounts for both .com and .ca - they are quite separate. If the link specifies the .com version and the .com associates ID, it isn't going to do me any good if someone orders from .ca - it's the same as if they ordered from .uk.co or .de where I don't even have an associates account.

Another example: If you have a balance of $10 from the .com account and $10 from the .ca account, and you need a minimum of $20 for payout, you cannot get those two combined. I tried.

Hi,

First of all: A great product you allocated! :)
Second: I've got a little problem with some permission rights. I'm logged in as "super admin"
but I can't get access to this product in the live system because of missing rights. (./cache/ is on CHMOD 777)

What could it be?

Cheers

Do you have an example URL?

Yes, next version.

Yes, next version.

Where? I can't seem to find that, the "customer reviews" I have is phrased.

Right, that's by design.

Are you getting an error message? What does it say?

Hi mikelbeck,

I get the typical vBulletin error message if I don't have enough rights.

Cheers and thanks
Markus

I had this at first too, then i got the error on line 166. I had to add AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php to the htaccess file under public_html. After I did that, I went back and tried again and it went to the store.

Great mod!

Thanks for your reply but if I put your suggested code in my .htaccess, my browser wants to download the amazon_store.php. ;)

Cheers

Hey guys... sorry I haven't been here recently. Been busy with work, and then I got involved in building a new server to move all my sites to. I'm planning on finishing up the next version of this product this coming weekend, so hopefully it'll be posted here Sunday or Monday.

Hi,
Great Mod. I installed everything and did not get any errors. I checked my user group permissions and it looks good, but when I click on the Store link in the nav bar, it keeps telling me I do I do not have permission.

admin, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I cant find a reason for this. I am running Vbulletin 3.6.8 Patch Level 2.

Finally... version 1.00.00 Beta 7 is available. Sorry for the delay. ;-)

In this version, the following issues have been corrected:

- Amazon will never return more than 2500 pages... but it will report more than 2500 pages. So a limit has been put in.
- The "Total Pages" was incorrect.
- When used in non-US locales, many characters were being displayed incorrectly. This has been fixed.

And the following has been added:

- Users can now select the locale they want to search when they perform a "custom" search.

Go to the "Usergroups", then "Usergroup Manager", then select the "Administrators" usergroup. Near the top is a block called "ECS Amazon Store Permissions". You should set all three items there to "Yes". After that, you should be able to access the store.

Once you've got that straightened out go back and do the same for the other usergroups you want to allow access.

Does that fix it for you?

Thanks Mikelbeck,
But the permissions for the Administrator was set to Yes in those 3 items and it still didnt allow me to enter the store.
Calvin

Does it work for amazon.de?

Yes it does!

and it also runs with 3.7 Beta 3 (i know... live sites shoud not drive with betas :o )

thanks to mikelbeck for the german "Umlaute" :)

Okidoki, i try it. And where i can get the german Umlaute *Lach*

And where i get the "Amazon AWS Key" in German Amazon Store?

First off - it's a lovely addon - well done.

Couple of issues...

If I enable the search options I can't set the associate IDs for the other countries ie. I have associate IDs for US, UK, CA, DE and FR, but I can only set one ID

The mod_rewrite seems to conflict with VBSeo if I turn it on. Has anyone managed to get round that? I'll ask on their forums as well, but I thought I'd ask here as well.

The list of search terms in the second box. How are you meant to input them? With spaces? Commas? Semi-colons?

Thanks for the great work!

i am having the same issue...was this resolved?

You must save it again ;)
--------------------------------------------
I have another problem.

I Use the german Store and have "Enable Descriptive URLs?" on "yes".

But, if i click on an Add, them comes page not found :(

http://www.xbox360gamertag.de/Forum/amazon_store.php

If i deactivate that, then the side will be displayed

What happened?

i get a blank page if all the admin settings are on "yes"....if i set "Allow this usergroup access to the ECS Amazon Store?" to no, then i get the page to load, but it says:

how can i get it to work? btw, same issue for registered or not logged in users.....

Go to the Usergroup and save again.

i tried that and still no luck....

reinstalled and still no luck....

not sure what else to do....
