I’m having a small problem and I hope someone can help. I’ve uploaded, edited, and the table was added successfully.
In my index.php I have added the “include(‘amazoninfo.php’);”, but where do I put the “get_media(7);” code? I have tried adding it to my index.php but as your can see on my site, it doesn’t insert the picture of my added media, it just shows “get_media(7);”. http://csoves.net/bloggie/index.php
If anyone could help me figure this out I would appreciate it. 😀

Try this
<pre><li id=”Media”>Media:
<?php get_media(7); ?>
</pre>
that worked! thanks so much!!!
I did a search, and did not see if anyone else had posed this question. If I am just blind and simply missed it, forgive me, and just point me to that url.
Okay, I am loving having this plugin randomly display a media item in my navigation. Awesome idea. What if I want a section of my site called “Library”? Is there an include I can use that will display all the books in my AMM? And if so, is it possible to have a “sort by author”, “sort by title”, etc.? And then to only display, say… 20 on the page with prev/next links?
I would greatly appreciate hearing back on this. If it is not possible yet, do you think it can be included in an upcoming version? I’d be your best friend! 😉
i guess the answer is a no? hehe.
(or am i just impatient?) 🙂
20 on a page with prev/next?? That sounds like a storefront, not a blog! 😉
I’m sure he could add something like that, given free time.. 🙂

haha. no intention of selling really, and it’s even still using denyerec’s associate id. haha. it was more for jsut displaying what was in my library for sheer narcissism’s sake, i suppose. i forgot about them all being linked to amazon – which i guess would make it a storefront. i suppose i don’t want to make it appear i’m selling a bunch of books, so i guess that i don’t really need it. i just wanted to be able to display all my books just for fun. oh well. 🙂
Hi there,
I’ve been away and unable to check the WP forums for a little while, hence the delay.
I am considering adding the ability to list all stored media and generated links (Without images), but so far am still decided on the best way to do it.
Without heavy modification of the WP index.php file it won’t be possible to have it print its contents where news articles would normally be. Although I have modded my own site this way to create my articles and FAQ system, I want to keep AMM as simple as possible.
It would be relatively easy to display all the items in your AMM using the existing Get_Media function. You’d have to customise the output a little, but it should not be too hard. Oh, and specify to print 100 items or suchlike, but this would bloat the blog’s sidebar unecessarily.
I’m not too sure how to go about adding “sections” to a WP blog yet, I’ll have an investigate and get back to the thread on this one.
yeh, generated links without images is just fine. all i need really. i just wanted to be able to display my entire collection without having to hand code it all in.
but this is not a huge priority on my checklist so no rush or anything. i just thought it’d be a cool section to have to the site.
If you examine the end of the AMAZONINFO.PHP file you will find a large comment block explaining how to produce your own customised output.
If you then call the Get_Media() function (Once, or one time for each media type) with a large number (Say 9999) as the “number of items to extract” you can quite happily generate a large list of all your items.
For instance… You could use this in the amazoninfo.php file to format the output as a simple list:
echo $tbef.’‘.$ae_itemtitle.’ – ‘.$ae_authors.$taft;
Then from within your template, you could have something akin to this:
My Books!
<?php Get_Media(1,9999)?>
Which would spew out your first 9999 books… Play around with it and see how far you get 🙂

so is this just like the mood and music hack?
Like current music: and it’ll show the albulm and link u to buy it @ amazon?
if it isn’t then could it be made to?

It’s for storing and displaying a list of books, movies and CD’s you’ve read or listened to recently, and displaying them in a variety of ways. Yes, is supports amazon associate click-thoughs.
I’m a bugger for writing things before checking out whether they exist already, so it may be similar to the hack you describe.
I noticed how this covers books, movies, and music…
However, I’m a gamer, as well, and don’t want to mix games into the DVDs / Books / CDs.
Unfortunately, my coding skills are double-extra-super-mega limited, in the sense that I wouldn’t know how to modify it to add a category for video games.
Would this be added in a future version (or) Would there be anyone capable or willing to add this to the script and/or show me how?
Thanks. I had to do some tweaking, but I think it will work for what I want to do. Just need to add my ISBNs in. 🙂

This is a GREAT add-on! It should be included in the default install, imho.
Anyone figured out a way to center the item images? I would like to center the image without centering the text underneath, but I just can’t figure out how 🙁
It would also be nice if there were a way to change the style of the text under the images. I’ve hacked at mine until I finally got a CSS style set for the entire entry, but it would be nice to be able to set one style for the title, one for the author, one for the comment, etc.
