Add-On Releases - 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.

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.

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!

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:

vBulletin Message

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

1. 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?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Log Out Home

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