[Plugin: Amazon Link] Showing list price, not just live price

If the API provides the list price then I’m sure I can add it to the plugin. I should be doing an update soon so I’ll make sure that’s one of the changes I put in.

Cheers,

Paul

Paul, thanks a lot. Looking forward to that!

Having another little hiccup now with the plugin (please forgive me for asking):

I am trying to wrap the shortcode into a responsive table. Simplified it looks like this:

<div width="90%"> //table 90% of content width
<table width="100%">
[amazon asin=... ]     //item 1
[amazon asin=... ]     //item 2
</table></div>

using a template like:

<tr>
  <td width="50%">%LINK_OPEN%%TEXT%%LINK_CLOSE%</td>
  <td width="20%">%PRICE%</td>
  <td width="30%">%LINK_OPEN%Buy it%LINK_CLOSE%</td>
</tr>

As a result, however, for some reason I have two <br> line breaks inserted in between the <div> and the <table> tags!
They do not seem to be from WP, as the wpautop functions inserts <br /> tags, not `
.

That makes me wonder if it could be your plugin inserting these line breaks, maybe because the template functions “realizes” that the table markup is “incomplete” (as the <table> and </table> tags are outside the template?

If so, can I somehow, somewhere change that – or even better: override it, so that I do not need to temper with the plugin code directly?

Thanks a million

sorry, that messed up sentence was to be:
They do not seem to be from WP, as the wpautop function inserts <br /> tags, not <br>, i.e. without slash. Here we get the <br>, slash-less!

Hi,

The plugin shouldn’t affect anything in the post other than replacing the [amazon…] content. I had a search through the code just in case and could not find any <br> tags in the code apart from innocuous javascript.

Similarly the Template parser only changes the %…% items. What you are trying to do should just work, very odd.

Just tried doing the same on my site and if I ‘inspect’ the page using Chrome, I too see the double <br>. However if I ‘view source’ they are not there, just the html as you put in the post (Also the other ‘br’ tags in the rest of my post are rendered as <br\>when ‘viewing source’ but rendered as <br> when ‘inspecting elements’.

So the double <br> being inserted might be to do with some other unrelated part of the table? I noticed Chrome has also added ‘tbody’ tags as well.

Hope this helps…

OK, found the culprit: it’s the usual suspect: wpautop function!

So WP thinks it should “space things out a little” (wp-includes\formatting.php, line 223), and table is such a “spacable” item.
Have no how to get WP not to do it, don’t want to mess with WP code directly, and generally disabling the wpautop function is no option either, so all I can do is work with negative margins to “lift” the table up again. What a mess…

As for the ‘tbody’: have not found out where that comes from, but as long as it does not disturb my layout I can live with it.

Anyway, thanks again for all your help – and the speed of it! 5 stars from me!
