I have the same Problem, but after saving in the usergroup its works. But i must save it more than one time :(

Hey guys... for some reason I didn't get emails saying this thread was updated. But I'm here now. ;-)

@irishblacknight - I hadn't thought of this, I'll have to add it to the next version. As for the VbSEO issue, I don't use it so I don't have an answer for that one. And the keywords should be seperated by a space.

@MotMann - I'll have to look into this issue.

@99darkgreenGT - Another one I'll have to look into.

The guys who are having issues with permissions - are you using vbseo?

Give me a day or so to have a look at these issues and come up with solutions.

I can't duplicate this... it's working fine on my test site. I think it may have something to do with vbseo on your site.

I think he means at the top have like:

DVDS - BOOKS - CDS - Etc...

hi, i do not have vb seo installed on my site. thanks!

Can i include that one in a board?

And vBSEO meens, the Problem is yours :D
If i deactivate vBSEO, the Problem exist...

Just installed and got same permission error..please help. Yes. I have VBSEO installed..

Can guest be able to see the store and purchase?

it is working on my forum now. Thanks.

3 questions:

1. URL rewrite is not working. Maybe because I am using vbseo. I don't care to much about this.

2. How I can setup 2 amazon stores, one for USA and other one for UK? or maybe third one for canada?

3. Current shows the listing price, can I show the on sale price as well? I think it will be attractive to visitors if the item is on sale.. :)

Thanks..

Is thsi Amazon script for 3.6.8 or just 3.6 even?

I am trying to install it here and it is not quite working on my vb 3.6.8 version :: http://www.charlestonpicturecompany....azon_store.php

I feel like I followed teh directions pretty tight and I am using php 5.25. Thoughts?

I get this error code :: Warning: fopen(./cache/amazon_US_Books_charleston_data.page_1) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /amazon_store.php on line 181

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /amazon_store.php on line 182

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /amazon_store.php on line 183

Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "./cache/amazon_US_Books_charleston_data.page_1" in /amazon_store.php on line 185

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /amazon_store.php on line 224

I got it back up, updated my php to 5.25 and uninstalled and reinstyalled everything. NEW error :: http://www.charlestonpicturecompany....azon_store.php

Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated. I am not getting any products returned for some reason. Feel like I am close, though. I put in charleston and books are search parameters and nothing comes back...

I THINK my problem may be with teh location of my cache. My forum is not in a folder called forum, but forums. The diredctions are alsing me to put ./cache/ but that did not work for me. I fixed the rror outputs by adding the path to my cache :: /home/myusername/public_html/forums/cache/

and I CHMOD the cache to 777. I am getting a black page that looks like it is working, just don;t get any results. WHen i look at the cache folder on server it is populated with data from amazone so I know I am close... Any hints?

http://www.charlestonpicturecompany....azon_store.php

Off topic but does anyone know how to integrate an a-store in Who's Online? (PM me if you do, thanks).

The forum directory being called "forum" or "forums" or "whatever" doesn't matter. The "." at the beginning of the cache directory field means "here", so it would expand to whatever your forum directory was called.

Do you get any results if you try different keywords? Also, can you turn on debug and see what data you get from that?

What's not working about it?

Not at this time.

Also, not at this time. The list price is shown on the main page, but the current "lowest" price is shown on the detail page. If the item is on sale, the sale price will be shown there.

This is a wonderful mod, one of the best I have seen. I have tried to find amazon store solutions, and this one fit the bill perfectly - thank you, thank you!

This is great!

Um, I can't find

"Append the contents of the "htaccess.NEW" file to the .htaccess file in the root of your forum."

.htaccess in the forum folder. Do you mean the public_html folder?

edit: That was it, nice :)


Looking for how to pre-load the pages with specific items now.

Firstly I will say an excellent mod, got it working no problem, well done.

2 small little things, when asking for decriptive URL's I get page not found. .htaccess is correct, but to be honest I'm not bothered as it looks so good anyway.

One little thing I would like to know is
This is set by default to the US, I've had a quick look at the code and not being a coder I have no idea what I'm looking for. My searches all come from the UK as set within the ACP, it would just be nice to be able to change the default location to the UK as well.

Thanks

Mark

edit - My first post too :D

How can I permit "Guests" to see this page?

Thanks ... :)

will this work with 3.7 ?

My store was working fine before but now are receiving error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: stream_get_contents() in /home/content/s/o/l/solarpaneldepo/html/xboxliveclans/amazon_store.php on line 178

Any idea?

Thanks

Just found out that I am using php4 for the forum. Switch back to php 5 and it is working now. I keep the post since I think maybe other people will have the same issue.

It works fine on 3.7 as you can see here. The only thing is that when searching for the product it scews with my MK Portal template for some unknown reason, when vieweing the product it's fine as well as everything else... *shrugs*.

I have noticed a single problem with the script though, it doesn't matter what dropdown country you use, it will simply refuse to search that country's products other than the US store, however despite that, when you click the item name it selects (in my case) the UK price and the link to the Amazon UK store. If it searches the UK store initially but can't after then something needs to be changed unless I'm doing something wrong, but only the US store can be searched.

I too get the permissions error...cant see anything on here how to solve it??

I am getting the blank screen also http://www.molineuxmix.co.uk/vb/amazon_store.php

mikel, will you be upgrading this for full compat for vb 3.7.x?

Yeah when will this get upgraded with fixes? (Looks like not for awhile possibly. he hasn't been on VB.org for the past few months by the looks of it.)

Also, it is showing the wrong prices. In some cases there has been over a $10 difference. How will this get resolved?

is there any way to make this work for ebay's rss feed system with their new affiliate program?

Unfortunately this is not working for me. Basically, it is not populating the page. I've filled in all fields correctly, enabled full functions for my admin usergroup and did the rest (uploads, cached 777, etc). I'm not sure what else to do here.

I've tried once again to get this working, to no avail. It basically shows nothing but this attached screenshot.

I've tried both "access key ID" and "secret access key". My AWS account was already approved as well. I tried with vbseo disabled. I *do* use PHP 5x as well.

Followed instructions thoroughly, simple steps but nothing. Tried various search keywords, nothing. I do use VB 3.7 as well.

In the meantime, going by what the current features are, here are some feature requests:

- word filters (to filter out certain products, since my site is Christian based)

Have you got an associates key? If not that's your problem. You need both an associates and an AWS key in order to use this plugin. It works fine for me on vB 3.7. The only bug I've found is that you have to set a category to search on any other country than the US (needs fixing to allow all), and also that you can only purchase from the store that you set the location to (in my case UK) which means that the other country searches should be hidden and only have UK enabled.

I have it all installed, when I add the htaccess addition my site goes dumb.
No links work and it kicks me to the page not found error.

Any suggestions? What can I provide to help you guys help me?

Thanks,
MC

I filled every field accordingly, just as I stated in my last post "followed instructions....". It does not work.

I followed all the directions exactly as it was written and I get the blank white page too. Would this be related to having the forum set to private? My users must login to access the forum.

when my users click on it, they dont get no where to amazon but they see like the stuff there, just nothing for amazon

i followed the steps such as getting the keys and all that stuff, nothing works

datadase error when i'm in usergroup saving settings, i had unistalled the hack but something is still there not allowing me to update usergroup

never mined i found what of the files still uploaded in xml folder.

Maybe this has been addressed... but I've upgraded from B4 and for some odd reason I'm getting the proper field in usergroups, but I can't see the setting on the usergroup permission screen. All of the templates seems to be in place, so I'm not sure what I'm missing. But as a result I get the general permission error from vb. I've tried just saving the usergroup page, but results in no change.

I'm on vb 3.7.0.

I had this plugin working for a few months and now all of the sudden it stopped working
