Hi,
There is a bug in the current version… In the ‘Add Amazon Link’ box the ‘Link Text’ field should change that, but it is not being carried into the shortcode properly.
What should happen is that the shortcode should look like this:
[amazon asin=B004OVDGVQ&text=Amazon]
I hope to get a fixed version done by the end of the week. But in the meantime you can manually update the shortcode to change the ‘text’ argument.
Hope this helps,
Paul
Hi Paul,
I had just this second worked out how to do that. I stupidly didn’t read your detailed “Quick Start” on the plugin details page.
Is it possible to link solely to a Amazon search results page instead of a product. I know that localized links go to a search page but how about the default country?
Thanks again,
Harry
Hi,
A bit trickier, you need to create a template on the Amazon Link > Templates admin page.
For example create a template with the following settings:
Template Name: search
Template Description: A Text Search link
Template Type: Product
Disable Preview: No
The Template: %SLINK_OPEN%%TEXT%%LINK_CLOSE%
Then in the shortcode specify this template, e.g.:
[amazon asin=B004OVDGVQ&text=Amazon&template=search]
That should do what you’re after,
Paul
Nice, that’s awesome!! Cheers mate.
