Amazon Media Manager 1.1

Anyone??

This really is an excellent addition to WP. I hope the devs decide to include this as a core plug-in. It’s running at the Nautis Project. I kept your amazon id as the default.
Thanks for making this simple enough for even me to install. – Matthew

I meant to say, ProjectCMS. Sorry.

Anyone know how I can tweak the 1.1 version for use with WP 1.2? Or has a 1.2 version been released? Thanks!

I think you can tweak it. i am running 1.1 with wordpress 1.3 nightly builds and it works fine.

1.3’s current nightlies don’t work with AMM 1.1 because of the way the DB info is called. Denyerec has sent me the code changes, and is working on an updated release.

I get the following errors when I try to use this. It posts the information about the item, but not the picture. See it in “action” at my site.

This isn’t really a bug, but its a quirk at least.
I was entering in the last 4 books I read, putting the earlier ones first so the most recent book i read would be first in the list generated on my page.

When I opened the page, the earliest book was first. I figured it must just be retrieving backwards so I changed the SQL from DESC to ASC. No change. It turns out the dateadded is only the date added and not the time as well. Since I inputed all the books on the same day it must have sorted next by the ID field, which is in the reverse order.

To fix I’m just adding the ID field to the order by section of the SQL statement and make it DESC.

I got it up and running on 1.5. I also changed some of the script so that after you enter the ASIN number to put an object in your database, you can edit where the URL points, and also edit the img url. I liked the way this plugin works with amazon, but because I require different size images than the few per item that amazon offers, I wanted to be able to make it link to items at other websites, while linking to the purchase page of said item. For my cds I use deepdiscountCD, the DVDs I currently use DVD Empire, and books from B&N.

have anyone try to upgrade from a previous version.

i get this error message when i try to install
Array ( [0] => recom [1] => tinyint(4) [2] => [3] => [4] => 0 [5] => ) The ae_data table appears to exist already. Either you are running the installation for the second time or something has gone wrong… If you are having difficulty with the amazon media WordPress mod, you could try removing the table in PhPMyAdmin and running the installation script again.

i dont want to remove the table, would that delete all my entries?

thanks

My previous post about the errors should be disregarded. My host had those operations disabled. Works great now.

Solarpunk: I had the same message when I ran the install script. That means the table is there already. I did not delete my table; I just uploaded the new versions of the scripts and got underway. As a note, the newest release apparently changed the way the database variables are declared (pardon if I use the wrong word) so when you enter your database information, be sure to use ‘ around your database server address. For instance, db.server.host.com has to be ‘db.server.host.com’ or else the script ignores the dots.

Godspeed,

jxpx,

i couldnt get to work. i back up my amazon database and delete the table and still getting the same error. i running build feb 7, 05

I am having an awful time getting this to work properly.

I just upgraded to WP1.5. I was running AMM without a problem before hand. I have it working now on the sidebar. But I also have a stand alone page for books and dvds, but it gives me a 404 error.
here is the code:

<?php
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”content”>

<li id=”Amazon”><?php _e(‘These are the most recent books I have read.’); ?>
<?php get_media(1,10); ?>

</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

That’s bad HTML, btw.

1. You don’t close your “li” block.
2. You didn’t OPEN a “ul” block for the “li” to sit within…

Don’t know if that’d cause problems with particular browsers…
