• Hi there all!

    Just like to announce that Amazon Media Manager 1.5 for WordPress is now available from https://www.sozu.co.uk/software/amm/

    It’s been a while in coming, but the new version is so far improved from the old one it hardly seems fit to call it 1.5, it should be 5.0 or something BUT, to stay in synch with the wordpress value for which it’s designed we went with 1.5

    The new system has:

    * Inbuilt search
    * Options page for, well, options
    * So many configurable ways to output stuff you’ll hopefully be able to do anything!
    * Support for displaying items in posts using quicktags
    * Go and get it now. ??

    Seriously, head over to https://www.sozu.co.uk/software/amm/ and grab a copy, there might be one or two little bugs we’ve not squashed but on the whole it should be all good.

    Sozu doesn’t have a forum or comment system yet, so for the meantime, keep your eyes on these forums and on https://www.denyerec.co.uk/index.php?p=198 where you can comment for the time being.

    If it calls for it, we’ll start a support thread in here too.

    Enjoy!

    ** PLEASE NOTE**
    Due to our host, occasionally you may get “Document Contains No Data” when trying to access the Sozu website.

    If this happens, just try again a few minutes later, they’re working out some issues.

  • Also, in the instructions it talks about the “Custom Fields” when adding this to a post or page. I do not have the “Custom Fields” option when adding a page (it is there for posts). Could this be the problem?

    Yes, this is a problem. You should have custom fields in posts and pages. You may need to expand it.

    I am having problems getting this plugin to work with my WP (2.0.5). After activating it, I get the following error messages:

    WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'xxxx_wordpress' at line 1]
    SHOW TABLES FROM xxxx_wordpress;
    Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/amm.php on line 41
    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php:104) in /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/post-levels.php on line 103
    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php:104) in /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/post-levels.php on line 104

    When I deactivate the Post Levels plugin (V1.0), the errors go away. Obviously there is some kind of conflict between my Post Levels plugin and the AMM plugin but I’m not savvy enough to know if there’s anything I can do to remedy this. I would REALLY love to use this plugin. Thanks!

    And this is line 104 in my Post Levels plugin:

    header('Pragma: no-cache'); and line 105 is a blank line.

    Also, I went through every file in the AMM plugin and did not find any white spaces.

    Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

    Well, the plugin apparently still works and the only page that throws the above errors is my plugin manager page within WP so I guess for now I can live with it. I would still like to figure out what the conflict is between the AMM and Post Levels plugin is though.

    Now I am having a problem formatting. You can see the plugin in use in the sidebar under the “Currently” section of https://www.daisyhead.org. I’m trying to get the small image to show up with a link to the item on Amazon. Here’s the code I have:

    <?php for ($x = 0; $x < $amm->totalItems(); $x++ ) :?>
    <?php echo $amm->imageLink();?><img src="<?=$amm->autoImage('small');?>" />
    <?php echo $amm->title();?>
    <?php echo $amm->autoAuthorLabel();?>: <?php echo $amm->autoAuthor();?>
    Rating: <?php echo $amm->fancyRatings();?>

    My problem is that two images are showing up and it appears the second image is the one I want but there is no link around it and I’d like the text to wrap around it. Anyone have any idea what I’m doing wrong with the code?

    Thanks!

    Okay, it appears I got the image size issue fixed by modifying my code to this:

    <?php for ($x = 0; $x < $amm->totalItems(); $x++ ) :?>
    <img class="blogimage" align="left" hspace="3" src="<?=$amm->autoImage('small');?>" />
    <?php echo $amm->title();?>
    by <?php echo $amm->autoAuthor();?>
    <?php echo $amm->userComments();?>
    Rating: <?php echo $amm->fancyRatings();?>

    However, I now have no link to the book on Amazon. Any ideas on how to get the image to link back to the product on Amazon?

    Hell, at this point if I could make the title of the book a link, I’d take that too! I have tried messing with the code based on other responses I have seen here in the thread, but no such luck. I keep getting syntax errors and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

    Well, I figured it out myself. In case anyone else is having any problems, here’s what I did:

    1. Used <?php echo $amm->imageLink(50);?>
    2. Went into amm_output.php and modified the image code to look like function imageLink($size='small'){
    $imagelink = '<a href="'. $this->URL() .'" title="'. __('Click to view item at Amazon') .'"><img align="left" hspace="3" class="blogimage" src="'. $this->autoImage($size) .'" alt="'. $this->currentItem['amm_title'] .'" /></a>';
    return $imagelink;
    }

    And my images are back to being links and formatted the way I wanted them to be. Whew!
