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.

I've got it working again (on 3.8.4)... I need to make some changes to the ACP to support the request signing. Give me a couple of days and I'll have something.

I don't believe I've made any modifications to the add-on.

Sorry for the long delay... but Beta 8 has finally been posted. This hasn't been extensively tested so if you see any issues please let me know!

FWIW, this is working on my 3.8.4 site, I should create a new thread in the 3.8 section I guess.

If you've already signed up for AWS, go to aws.amazon.com, then click on "Your Account". A menu will pop up, select "Security Credentials" from that menu. Sign in, if necessary, then you'll get a page that has your Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.
