Doesn’t seem to work. 🙁

I’ve added the code you indicated above to both the amazon plugin css file and to the theme’s css file.

I don’t understand exactly what you mean? Can you provide example code? Thanks again!

Oh I definitely know that. I want to eliminate the icon and other formatting and just have the image and text for the amazon item. I’ll look further, based on what you said and see if I can figure out how to change it.

All of the amazon stylesheet list types are set to none. Where are you recommending I make these changes? When I look at the amazon plugin css code, I see:

/* .amazon-item-wrap is how CG-Amazon wraps an entire block of output — it is a DIV tagged class */
.amazon-item-wrap span {display: block; }

/* .amazon-block is a UL tag that wraps a group of products. each product is in an un-classed LI tag. */
/*.amazon-block { }*/

but can’t tell where or what parameters I’m supposed to add to change the way it displays.

Here are some additional settings:

/* .amazon-item is a UL tag automatically added to wrap a SINGLE product, if you choose LI style item info tagging (rather than SPAN) */
.amazon-item a, .amazon-item a:hover
{
display: block;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
margin-top: 8px;
margin-bottom: 2px;
}

and

.amazon-item-wrap a
{
text-decoration:none;
display: block;
}

and

.float-amazon-block, .inline-amazon-block {
display: block;
width: 172px;
border: 1px dashed #555599;
padding: 5px;

margin-top: 1px;
margin-bottom: 1px;
/*
float:left;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-right: 10px;
*/
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: 4px;
background: #fcfcff;
text-align: center;
list-style-type: none;
}

.amazon-block li {
list-style-type: none;
list-style-image: none;
}
.amazon-block li { /* some templates use new funky stuff, we have to disable… */
content: “”;
}

.inline-amazon-block { float:left; clear:none; }

.float-amazon-block {
float:right;
clear:right;
}

.float-amazon-block a, .float-amazon-block a span, .inline-amazon-block a, .inline-amazon-block a span
{
color: #222255;
text-decoration:none;
display:block;
}

.float-amazon-block a:hover, .inline-amazon-block a:hover {
color: #774444;
text-decoration:none;
background: #bbbbff;
display:block;
}

.float-amazon-block .t-amazon, .float-amazon-block .x-amazon, .inline-amazon-block .t-amazon, .inline-amazon-block .x-amazon
{
margin:0;
padding:0;
color: #aa6688;
text-align: center; /* text align doesn’t seem to work in this case! */
font: normal 9px Arial, sans-serif;
}

.amazon-item-wrap .t-amazon-price
{
text-align: center;
padding-bottom: 4px;
color: #4466c0;
font: bold italic 9px Times, serif;
}

btw, I’ve selected SPAN and it doesn’t make a difference.

I think I found the solution (please see if it looks okay in FF and IE for you):

#farouter {background: #ffffff;width: 800px; border: 1px solid #3A291F;margin: 20px auto 20px auto;text-align: left; /* IE 5.5 hack part II */}

I changed the 760 to 800 — not certain what that will hurt, but it looks okay in IE to me now.

Do you mean large in width or length? I haven’t modified the size widthwise — just kept the defaults in the template.

Does anyone know how I fix this IE display problem in the files?

Would you mind stating which file(s) were specifically updated so that I only install those. I’ve customized my pages, sidebar, etc. and would prefer to only update the necessary files (and avoid having to re-do all of my code). Please advise.

Also — I am using the cg-amazon plugin on the sidebar and cannot seem to figure out how I go about removing the hover and little

• icon next to the amazon items. I’d prefer the plugin display just the image with its associated text. I believe something needs to be changed in the theme itself, not the plugin, in order to make it display the way I desire. Any assistance is appreciated.

I’m using the initial release of 1.5 without any additional WP updates.

All I know is that when I click on CGA in the admin area it tries to find it here:

/photoblog/wp-admin/cg-plugins/cga-admin.php

The plugins list indicates I’ve installed CG powerpack version 1.5b1 even though I downloaded 1.5a8 and was pretty sure I installed that one instead. I know I was about to test the earlier version (1.5b1) before personal life distractions. Let me check my database and reinstall from scratch to see if this takes care of it.

Update #1:

I don’t see any tables in mysql relating to cg-amazon, etc. so I’m not certain this portion of your install instructions applies to me:

0. ALL DATABASE TABLE NAMES CHANGED — this occurred back in 1.5a6
To better match multi-install scenarios, all the table names now use the wordpress prefix set
for the given installation. SO YOU WILL NEED TO CHANGE THE TABLE NAMES MANUALLY.
If you are a previous user upgrading, you’ll need to change your tables as follows:
referer_visitlog => {your_wp_prefix}cg_referer cg_amazon => {your_wp_prefix}cg_amazon {your_wp_prefix}postrelated => {your_wp_prefix}cg_related This should hopefully make things MUCH easier for people in the future.

Update #2:

I believe my problem was that I copied over the entire plugins folder to the wp plugins folder instead of the contents. I had my files copied over like this:

/plugins/plugins/xxx

duh! It works now, thanks. 🙂

This doesn’t work in “pages” does it? Does this require a special plugin?
