[SOLVED] How to configure for amazon uk?

[enkel]

Hi, this was just what I was looking for to add books etc. to a site I'm working on.

However by default it is linking to the US Amazon site (Amazon.com) but I need the UK site.

I changed the line

Code: [Select]

$address1 = "http://rcm.amazon.com /e/cm?t=";
To:

Code: [Select]

$address1 = "http://rcm-uk.amazon.co.uk /e/cm?t=";
But this doesn't show the images....what am I missing (apart from the knowledge to make it work  ).

Can you provide me a link?

Should do it, it's under the 'buy' menu item in top menu, then under 'books'.

Looking at the generated source (items are published now too  ) I see this:

Code: [Select]

</p><div class="amazon_product_links">
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function iFrameHeight() {
var h = 0;
if ( !document.all ) {
h = document.getElementById('blockrandom').contentDocument.height;
document.getElementById('blockrandom').style.height = h + 60 + 'px';
} else if( document.all ) {
h = document.frames('blockrandom').document.body.scrollHeight;
document.all.blockrandom.style.height = h + 20 + 'px';
}
}
</script>

<div class="amazon_product_links_noscript">

Which looks right.....I think

[Steven Pignataro]

there is a space after .co.uk

take that out and it shall resolve your problems.

Kindest regards,

[enkel]

DOH!

Yes that improved it, still not quite right though as it now shows a generic Amazon image for 'Amazon.com

Really odd 'cos if I leave the code at default it works perfectly....

BTW you are very good on support, most impressed

[enkel]

Cooking on gas now!

For UK you need to change about line #77:

Code: [Select]

$address1 = "http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=";

to:

Code: [Select]

$address1 = "http://rcm-uk.amazon.co.uk/e/cm?t=";
And about line #79:

Code: [Select]

$address3 = "&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=";
 to

Code: [Select]

$address3 = "&o=2&p=8&l=as1&asins=";
This will vary from country to country I think, examining the HTML Link the associate interface gives you will reveal the correct codes!

Hum - that is a good thing to know - i will have to build one for UK users.

Thanks for the info on this - I didn't know it was different in the linking system then just the portion of the link.
