Amazon Store Integration
 

Finally, I've gotten around to putting together a version of the Amazon Store integration mod for vBulletin 3.6.

This mod allows you to add an Amazon store to your vBulletin. You can set it to search for a particular keyword, for different types of items - CDs, DVDs, Clothing, etc. A sample of the store in action is available here: http://www.lidragracing.com/amazon_store.php.

You will need to sign up for Amazon Web Services to get an AWS key in order for this to work. In addition, you need to have PHP 5 installed on your server.

Installation is very simple, upload 3 files, import the xml file and then add a link to the store in your navigation bar. See the attached file "ECS Amazon Store.txt" for the exact installation instructions.

Give it a try, let me know what you think. Make sure you click "Mark as Installed" if you've installed it.

Also, if you intall it and use it, please post the URL you have it installed at so I can see how it's being used.

{edit}

To upgrade to a newer version, re-upload the php files and then import the xml product file. Afterwards go to the admin control panel to check to make sure all of the fields are filled in properly.

can u make it with catgories?

Wow, I will be installing this later and I will let you know how I get on. Nice one!!:up:

What do you mean?

Thanks for sharing - I installed and went to view the store and got this error

do we enter the AWS key or the AWS secret key? I tried both and got the same error.

Don't really need it but it looks great. Thanks for the submission.

Interesting - but Amazon already has what's called an A-Store that can easily be embedded in webpages with IFrame: http://jpicforum.info/view.php?pg=shopjpic

Question: What makes this modification any better?

At anyrate - thanx for the sharing ;)

Jacquii.

Thanks!

You would enter the AWS access key.

As for the error you're getting - are you using PHP 5?

Thanks for the info. No - I am not using php 5, my php version is 4.4.7

I installed it on a test forum with no other hacks installed and got the same error.

I sure hope I can get it going - I like it a lot better than the A-store. Do you get affiliate payments from purchases at this store?

Lemmy rules! :)
