When I add an ASIN I just see a picture with [?] inside.
If I delete the ASINs from the list, I see the text recommendation.
Images in my upload/amazon folder are 507 bytes long.
I am using
Code: Select all

I have found a partial workaround by deleting the images in my upload/amazon folder. I now get the text descriptions of the items to show.
I think this is due to Amazon redesigning the site layout.
I printed out the URL it was trying to retrieve, and this looks like the rating image of the item.

Hi!
Sadly I believe that is true. Most of the amazon shops have changed image/API paths, and the current maintainer of the plugin has not yet updated it. Maybe if someone wants/can have a look at it, feel free to.

I have hacked in a temporary workaround that works for me.
The details are in another thread in the
general discussions area.
Thanks again to the members on the forum for their support in my first faltering steps with s9y.

I have fixed a few typos in the EN file
Code: Select all
@define('PLUGIN_AMAZON_DESC', "Recommend Products at Amazon within the Amazon-Partner Program");
@define('PLUGIN_AMAZON_PROP_TITLE_DESC', "Title of this Recommendations block");
@define('PLUGIN_AMAZON_ASIN_DESC', "Comma separated List of ASIN you'd like to recommend");
