Amazon Store Integration · **Released**: 09-19-2005

This is my first mod for vBulletin, so take it easy on me if I've done something incorrect...

Anyway, this is an Amazon store integration mod for vB. One of my sites is job/career oriented, so I offer books that are related to this through this mod. It will pull all of the items in a particular category (Amazon BrowseNode) and display them for users to pick & choose what they want. They can add the items to a remote Amazon shopping cart, and when they're finished shopping they can check out through Amazon.

Note that only logged in users will be able to add item to their carts.

See the attached file "install.txt" for installation instruction.

You can see it in action here:

Let me know what you think, have any problems, questions, suggestions, etc.

Thank you for releasing this. I need to get the dev ID but I will be installing this later.
(btw the mods will ask you to add the instructions to a text file)

Quick question for you....

Say you wanted to have two product catagories, 1 for say books and another for games, would this hack be able to do it?

Not just yet, it only pulls one at a time. I'll look into how that could be done, though.

Which instructions? The code changes? Template additions? Or everything?

Everything

Just cut and paste your post to a text file and if you want create a zip file with it and the php file and upload the zip

Done, I uploaded "install.txt" which contains the install instructions.

Ya, I kind of remember you asking for this, I didn't really have it finished to my liking until this week.

I found how to do a generic search, I'm going to try to integrate that with a context-sensitive link in threads, a "click here to search amazon for items related to xxx" sort of thing.

Has anybody who has installed this found any problems with it? Have any questions, comments, suggestions?

Can you post links to where you've installed it?

I realized after I posted it here I should've put my name on the template somewhere... I guess when I update it I'll put a copyright line on it, hopefully those who've installed it will make that change. ;-)

Would love to see this in 3.5.

I will test it out on my 3.0.x board if you need it.

I'll port it to 3.5 soon after it's released.

If you could test it on you 3.0.x board, I'd appreciate it.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
