Thanks to all the people who replied and a Beta is now available for download. Please see http://developedat.com/2008/02/18/azlite-wordpress-plugin-display-amazon-rss-feeds-in-wordpress/ for more information and the download link.
We are developing something similar, the wordpress plugin just imports single items at the moment, but there will be an amazon auto blog feeder addon soon (including descriptions, reviews, etc. at your choice)...although it may not be free
Actually the site is down entirely. Please let us know when it's up and ready! Very interested in seeing what you built!
I tried a few times to download the plugin, but the link appears to be broken. I'll keep checking back. Best of lick with your plug-in development!
Apologies that I haven't answered questions regarding this for a while, and many thanks for all your feedback. At the moment I've stopped further development on this plugin, but a fully functional and working copy (plus instructions) can be found here: http://www.developedat.com/stories/...in_Display_Amazon_RSS_Feeds_in_Wordpress.html If there is enough interest then I may develop the plugin further.
Excellent work. I have it running and I'm leaving you some feedback at your website! I would definitely be interested in seeing this developed further!
Hey thanks for the very cool plugin! It works on the category killer terms. Multiple words are problems as you already know. But for you to do this plugin and not charge for it is very cool! Rep+
Thanks for the help guys. I hope I've ironed out the problems mentioned and have posted further details over at the plugin page on my site. Multiple tags has been mentioned as a further development, and I will see if I can do this. If anyone has any other features they would like to see added, please let me know. If you do run the plugin on your site, please post a link so I can see it in action
I put it up for a minute (I'll pm URL) and it looks good, but I'm not sure I want to run it without customer/editorial reviews. I'm pretty sure those work by RSS...
I agree that adding reviews would add more depth to the plugin, but I think that is perhaps beyond the scope of the plugin as it stands. The plugin does not use the Amazon web service for it's data, but rather the standard Amazon RSS feeds: http://www.amazon.com/gp/tagging/rss-help.html As far as I know, reviews are not available via these feeds, but if anybody know different, please let me know.
contentsis, Nice idea and effort on making the plugin for wordpress.. I have downloaded it and am getting ready to try it out on a blog. Boulder
Here's where I have the plugin running. It's a Cell Phone Store As you can see the plugin is working great. I'm still tweaking the theme and such, but I posted the link so you can see it in action. The categories are the different tags I've used while the other pages are obviously astores that I added.
thank you for this plugin! is it possible to use amazon.fr instead of amazon.com? I tried to change address in azlite.php but it does not work
