Amazon Widgets Shortcodes has been released in a stable version yesterday.
I use it for my own purpose but I'm aware of your needs, notices and critics about YOUR usage.
I want to share with you the ultimate Amazon plugin to add affiliation links into your Wordpress.
Hope you will like it :-)

Nice plugin, but not working with wpmu!
I'll try to fix it ! and publish adaptation for wpmu.

Well I installed it on a WPMU and it seems to work.
The problem is however located on the update options page. I'm wondering why ...

@fredl I've fixed the problem. It will be rolled out in version 1.2.2 (just commited).
Thanks for the report.

I love this plugin, but it seems to have a problem with WordPress 2.7-almost-beta.
When I try to save the options I get a WordPress "Are you sure you want to do this" message, with a link that takes me back to the options page.
I was hoping your latest update would fix it - it would be great if you can find the cause in time for the release of 2.7 (due November 10, I think).

@LesBessant problem noted. I'll have a look at this within the week-end :)
WPMU handles options wpnonce differently than WP (it's a bit painful as it lacks of docs).
I guess something changed in WP 2.7 too.
Thanks :)

@LesBessant OK I found the problem. WPMU implemented hardened plugin options updates nonces on the base of WP 2.7. I fixed my code and I guess many other plugin developers will encounter this soft problem (which is not documented by now).
If you grab the dev version, it will work on your install :)

Howdy people :) 1.3 was released yesterday and it ships support for Wordpress 2.7. No need to use a dev version now.
Enjoy

I get the following error when I activate this plugin:
Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'AmazonWidgetsShortcodeProductPreview::displayProductPreview' was given in /home2/believf1/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 311
I am using WP 2.6.3 with version 2.3 Tarski theme. Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
Greg

@gmcmurdie you have the problem on activating the plugin or on the public side of your blog, after inserting a shortcode ?
Could you copypaste here the full shortcode of your post/page ?
Thanks :)
Posted 12 months ago #
The error message occurs when I activate the plugin. It appears at the very bottom of the main page on my blog - below the "Powered by WordPress and Tarski."

@gmcmurdie I isolated the bug and fixed it. The plugin version 1.3.1 will fix it.
Use the WP automatic update or download the package on the Wordpress Plugins directory.

ok so I just realized that I had to refrest my page to see the tinymce editor but when I click on add Amazon Product I get this error:
You don't have permission to access /wp-content/plugins/amazon-widgets-shortcodes/web/javascript/tinymce3/wpAwshortcode/shortcode-amazon-product.html on this server.
Can you let me know what I can do to fix this?
Posted 11 months ago #
@dll-405 it may be related to your server configuration.
Are there any restrictions over .html files ?

Oncletom - I got it to work. Thanks for the fix. I have a couple questions though about how to use the widget.
1 - In the "Additional Tools" section, there is an option to "Enable Product Preview". I have this box checked, but then I don't see any changes to the hypertext links to Amazon products on my blog. Am I missing something? How is this feature supposed to work?
2 - I would like to have the text wrap around the images in my blog posts. Is this an available feature? If not, is it something that could be included in a future release?
Thanks.

Sorry for the delay but here my answers:
1) Product Preview is not obvious at a glance. Once activated, it does not have any effect but adding a single JS file at the bottom of your page.
Each time this file is called, Amazon checks if the page has been analyzed or not. So 2 cases :
In my case, I tried it but removed as links were placed in a very inconsistent way (not very relevant at all).
2) you want text to wrap around images ... the images are the Amazon Widgets ? I've already added several classes to items so as all widgets are easily modified through CSS.
If you have an example to show me, I'll tell you what can I do for this :)

I found a problem with the way the plugin does carousels from Amazon. When I just embed the code on my site straight from Amazon, I can easily see and use the carousel using Firefox 3.0.4. If I install it using the amazon-carrousel code, I get this instead
You don't have a sufficient version of Flash Player to display this animation.
I do have the latest Flash Player installed. I know there was a problem with some flash only looking at the first digit of the installed version, so it sees version 10 as version 1. Amazon has this problem fixed apparently.

A couple more things I found. For aligning the code, Wordpress requires the classes .aligncenter, .alignright, and .alignleft for aligning things in themes. It would be better to stick those in, instead of using inline sytles, when choosing how we want carousels and images aligned, since Internet Explorer doesn't work well with some of the other style options.
And a possible feature you might want to allow users to add their own css classes to your created links, in case they already have some things defined they want to keep using.
I have the box for showing Inline Documentation checked, but nothing shows anywhere on the post or page edit pages. And when I click the Documentation button on the Settings, this is all the documentation I get: Amazon Widgets Shortcodes documentation
Just so you know, I really like the plug in. It makes linking to Amazon much less complicated, allowing me to switch between the visual and html editors without worrying about messing up the Amazon coding.

I'm also getting:
You don't have permission to access /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/amazon-widgets-shortcodes/web/javascript/tinymce3/wpAwshortcode/shortcode-amazon-carrousel.html on this server.
I do have other html files and can browse those ok. Any ideas/suggestions on how to fix this? TIA.

@tbrincefield could you provide me an URL of a page where the "sufficient version of Flash" appears? And your OS? Because this message is rendered by the browser when it is unable to load a Flash animation too.
I agree to share Wordpress classes.
You want additional classes for product links or all widgets?
I'll check for the Documentation. If it is checked, on your post writing screen, you will find a "Amazon Widgets Shortcodes" box with the same exact content ... which is normally filled.
@abedross could you provide me a screenshot? And if you do a right click > this frame > reload ; does it still occur?
Thanks for your feedbacks :)

oncletom,
I created this test page which has the same carousel on it, the top using your plugin, the bottom with the Amazon.com code pasted directly in. In Firefox 3.0.4, with Windows XP SP3, the top one gives me the error about needing a higher version of Flash installed.
I have classes for both products and widgets already set up for layout, so it would be nice to be able to add them in when using your plugin. If you can manage to add them in without too much trouble.
The Inline Documentation did start showing up on my post editing page after I did some trouble shooting with another plugin that was breaking my dashboard. But it is not showing up on my Page edits anywhere. And the Documentation button on your configuration page is still not showing anything.
Posted 10 months ago #
Hm, problem I can see both animations on my computer. I'll try on another one and on a Windows VM to check this out.
Currently on Ubuntu 8.10 + Firefox 3.0.5 it works.
I take your other suggestions in consideration in order to ship them for the next release :) I don't when for now, maybe in January.

Hi, thanks for the link. It helped me to figure out the problem.
It's related to the tinymce variable in the query string. If I remove it, it works.
Even more precisely, it's the "http" string which causes trouble (and I don't know why).
It's fixed in the dev version. Could you try it to be sure it's fine?
As I can't reproduce the problem, you're my only hope ;-)

My wife has been using your plugin for several months now on one blog, and I just installed the latest version on her other blog. She's using WP 2.7.1 an I installed 1.4.1 of your plugin.
She has an issue where she pastes the Amazon code and clicks "Apply the magic" nothing happens. She then clicks "Insert" and gets an error message:
Error: Invalid values entered, these are marked in red.
She goes back and finds perhaps an img tag underlined on occasion. This doesn't happen all the time, but it's happened a number of times. Amazon claims it's fine, but we're not sure. Have others had this problem with Amazon codes?
Thanks

Strange. Could you provide me the HTML code copy/pasted and if possible, a screenshot showing the error?
Thanks :)
