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.

Nice upgrade, but it still needs a search box for users to search for what they are looking for.
On the top left of the screen would be great! I personally would like them to be able to search all of Amazon from my store, this way if they buy anything I still get credit for the sale.

Right, I'm with ya. ;-)
I asked in this thread what people wanted to see: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....0&postcount=59 but didn't get any response. I finished up the changes I had in mind for this version (aside from the search box) and wanted to get it out. So there it is.
I'll take your idea into consideration, let's see what everybody else has to say. The next version will have a way for users to search for their own stuff.
I'm also considering adding the functionality to allow the users to add items to a local shopping cart and continue searching, then when they're done cliking a link to go off to Amazon to make the purchase. What does everybody think about that?
FWIW, I've got a similar project in the works... but one that works with eBay instead of Amazon.

Great update and I look forward to the future updates as well

Yes, it is installed, but on a completely private forum. It is working great! I loe the multiple searches - my only request is to add even more
Ya, I'm working on that. At this point, it looks like the Amazon API only allows 2 searches to be performed at once. I'm looking for a way around that, though.
One thing though, maybe it is just me, but for some reason, when viewing the amazon store page, the dhtml drop-down links in the navbar do not appear, and the links show up as just links with no drop-down function.
Just an idea : optional search in NavBar....is it possible ? so user can search in forum and got input also from amazon at the same time (make it default : checked option)

I can't make that happen, not on my demo site or my dev site. Is anybody else seeing this?
@hddstudio - I'm not sure if I could do that... but I'll look into it.
