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.

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

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?

In this version, I've added results caching, cleaned up the templates, added additional search options and added support for locales.

There are many more options in the ACP, so if you upgrade please immediately go to the ACP and check to make sure that you've got your settings correct.

Also - VERY IMPORTANT - you'll need to create a "cache" directory for the cached results to be stored in. Make sure this directory is chmod'd to 777! Read the included text file for more information.

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?

3 questions:

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

Quote:
2. How I can setup 2 amazon stores, one for USA and other one for UK? or maybe third one for canada?
Not at this time.

Quote:
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..
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 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
