Vbulletin Amazon Store

Vbulletin Amazon Store V0.9
An amazon reflection script , to be eligible to use this script you must obtain an associates id from amazon and a developer token from:
https://associates.amazon.com/exec/p...plication.html

DEMO : http://www.tchatting.com/forum/amazonindex.php
Requirements
Seperate DB ( This is REQUIRED )

his program has been initialy developed to work as a stand alone xml parser for amazon products feeds . Requirements are 1 mysql db, associates id and developer token.

I have tested links and everything sounds good, and planning to fully integrate seo mode laters on, please report any broken link i might have missed if you use this.

Features in a glance :
Amazon.com reflection - Checkout and help pages through a frame, ability to add or delete amazon categories from your admin control panel.
When adding a category not listed you will only need to visit amazon.com to findout its ID

Installation takes a few minutes but no complex stuff to do and no file edits at all.

-------------------------------------
1 - You need to be an Amazon Associate to get paid commission for the items your visitors buy via your site. If you are already an associate Amazon allows you to use your current ID.

2 - A Developer's Token is required to access AWS. It functions much in the
same way as a password. You will pass it to Amazon's servers with every
request so that they know you have permission to access their system.

3 - Upload all the files in the forum directory
4 - Create a mySQL database somewhere and import the .sql file to it.
5 - Edit /script/forumurl.php to your forum url path.
6 - Open script/config.php and change the values. Especially the last 4 lines:
$dbServer = "localhost";
$dbUser = "dbuser";
$dbPass = "dbpassword";
$dbName = "dbname";
You can change the rest from the admin panel of the site.
7 - Import the xml file to add your Vbulletin Templates.
9 - chmod the following files and and folders to 777:
- /script/config.php ( if you dont you will need to do all edits manualy)
- /script/cache
10 - Go into the admin panel, and click "site config"
/script/admin/
Your initial username and password is "admin" and "admin"



Templates (NOT THE VBULLETIN TEMPLATES)
-------------------------------------

There is a template folder which contains several files that are used by the Amazon Store Manager to handle the site's output which you can edit to change the display of output but will not affect any of your vbulletin templates settings:
- welcomemsg.tpl
- browsepagefooter.tpl
- browsepagetitle.tpl
- catpage.tpl
- default.tpl
- footer.tpl
- header.tpl
- menu.tpl
- productpage.tpl
- productpageauthors.tpl
- productpagefeatures.tpl
- productpagefooter.tpl
- productpageheader.tpl
- productpagesimiliar.tpl
- search_result_title.tpl
- similiar.tpl
- similiarfooter.tpl
- similiarheader.tpl
- single_search_result.tpl
- browsepage.tpl

Template tags are recognized by their used of %% and %%. For example, to print the name of
the site, we would go:
%%sitename%%
When editing the templates, please don't touch these tags if you can help it.

SEO Compatible ?
-------------------------------------
seo setting are not active yet, although the script do work fully with seo mode outside vbulletin which hopefully in the next release i will fully enable the seo mode within vb after it passes this beta stage.

Enjoy.
