Usage
Usage is simple - just use the amazon tag providing an ASIN as shown below:
{{amazon>0142000280}}
If you want to link to a national Amazon, use the following syntax to access the German, UK, Japanese, French or Canadian Amazon site.
{{amazon>de:0142000280}}
{{amazon>uk:0142000280}}
{{amazon>jp:0142000280}}
{{amazon>fr:2749102448}}
{{amazon>ca:0142000280}}
Wishlists or “ListMania” lists can be displayed using the wishlist or amazonlist keywords followed by the list id. Country support works the same as with single products above. Examples:
{{wishlist>de:11ACQWWKWOM3G}}
{{amazonlist>R2AD3IPI9YY0TO}}
The default configuration options set in the config manager can be overridden by giving additional space separated keywords:
{{wishlist>de:11ACQWWKWOM3G price =0 90x90}}
{{amazon>0142000280 noprice =40 50x70}}
The following keywords can be used:
| widthxheight | the size of the shown image(s) |
| =number | limit outputs to this number of characters, set to 0 for no limit |
| noprice | don't show product prices |
| price | show product prices |
| nopurchased | exclude already purchased items |
| purchased | include already purchased items |
| sortprice | sort items ordered by price, cheapest on top |
| sortpopularity | sort items by personal popularity as provided by list owner |
| sortadded | sort items by the date they were added, newest on top |
Configuration
Everything is configurable through the config manager.
You need to sign up for a free Amazon AWS Developer account to obtain the needed Access Keys.
You can specify the width and height of images and if you want to display prices here. You can set up Amazon Partner IDs for all supported shops. If you feel generous, leave in the IDs of the plugin author.
Note: It is recommended to enable the fetchsize option to get correct rescaling for the external images.
