Adding Amazon associate info to "Currently..." plu

I am an amazon associate and am wondering if there is any way to set up the Currently plugin to accept the associate ID information so when a referral is made from the plugin my ID gets credit?

Thanks!

Hi!

Could you check the "xml.inc" file that is provided with the plugin? Around the middle you should find:

Code: Select all

		  $form_data = array ("Service"=>"AWSECommerceService",
		  							 "SubscriptionId"=>"05T5C0DJ53HFGKJCK4G2",
									 "AssociateTag"=>"dh0net-20",
									 "Operation"=>"ItemSearch",
									 "Keywords"=>$search,
									 "SearchIndex"=>$section,
									 "ResponseGroup"=>"Medium" );
There you could change the subscribtionID and the AssociateTag?

Best regards,
Garvin

Garvin,

I found the code but am not quite sure what the subscription ID is. I have the associate ID changed but before I upload the changed code I want to make sure it is all set up correctly.

I have searched the Amazon associate site for reference to a "subscription" ID or number and am not finding anything. Do you have any idea what it is reference to?

Thanks!

Hi!

Sadly I'm no amazon affiliate, so I don't really know myself :) Maybe you can just change it and see if the resulting links are then properly emitted?

Best regards,
