Simple template remains empty – sometimes…

    Hi together,

    first of all: I am very happy with the ASA plugin and wanna say “thank you” to the developer.

    But there is one problem which I was not able to solve…

    I am using some very simple templates to be shown in tables. For example: One template is there for showing the rating stars only. So the templare has only got “{$RatingStars}” as its file content.

    What’s confusing when I am implementing this simple piece of code: For some items it’s working, for some items not. When I am refresing the browser some other items may work and some others (which were working before) not. These cells just remain empty. Normally I am displaying 5+ items in such a table.

    Has anyone got an idea how this can be solved?

    Thanks!

    Hi Matze,

    thanks for your feedback.

    This behavior is known and in most cases it is related to the Request Limit of the Amazon API (https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/advertising/api/detail/faq.html) which means it is not allowed to request more than a custom limit of products per seconds.

    To handle that limitation, ASA has its cache. But in some cases (e.g. when the cache is exceeded or the cache is not used at all) it comes to what you describe. I just can recommend you to use ASA’s cache.

    If these problems persist, the best recommendation is to switch to ASA 2. You will not have issues like that with the new version as it has more buffering techniques and better caching options to handle many products on one page.

    You can get ASA 2 at: https://getasa2.com/
