I’ve updated the Amazon plugin to work with WordPress 1.5. The plugin uses a class called “Snoopy” to connect to Amazon, and this, it turns out, as been added as a class in the core WordPress code. So when I redefined it in my plugin, it was causing a problem with the Dashboard, which was trying to reinclude the class. The fix (thanks to George for beating me to the punch on diagnosing the problem and sending in a fix) can be downloaded here. The changes included deleting the Snoopy class definition and requiring snoopy-class.php from wp-includes.
Has anyone ever got this working with Amazon.ca? It generates lovely blankness for me. I know that AWS had a bug, but that appears to have been fixed (assuming so, since this works: http://www.junto.co.uk/Amazon/WishListWidget.aspx)
I set $aw_locale to “ca”. I also tried adding to the switch statement:
case “ca”: $this->server .= “ca”; break;
Any ideas?
I only can get it plugin to show only 1 item from my wishlist even though there is 30 items.
it would probably help if I read that it was meant for 1 random image. DOH! Thanks for the e-mail. I ended up using this other plugin that shows my full wish list: http://daryl.learnhouston.com/?p=55
there is a thread going about the same problem you are experiencing David, here:

Plugin does not work with amazon.de (Germany), only with com and co.uk
Hey guys, working on installing the plug-in, with a little tweaking I seem to have gotten it working, aside from teh fact that it doesn’t like my wishlist id. My main question is, how do you format the output of the amazon side-bar section? I noticed it’s formatted on here, but if you take a look at my website you’ll see that it’s all in bold lettering, and of course i don’t program in PHP…. Any thoughts?
I cannot for the life of me get this plugin working. Text appears below my categories list saing Amazon wsh list but nothing else. What do i need to do in order to get an image of a book from my wishlist to appear? Maybe i have not entered my wishlist id correctly. It is currently entered as numbers in the following format xxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx. Any help most appreciated.
for some reason, it does not display the artist when it displays CDs. how do i fix that? it works fine with book authors.
Also, is there a way in which people can click the item and it goes to my wishlist or it puts it in a cart that recognizes it as a gift to me? I know it’s possible, but I can’t write any code.
Exactly this question I wanted to ask. Please would you?
Is there any way to make that plugin show german wishlists? It works perfectly with .com but .de won’t work in any way for me.
Thanks for the plugin. What’s with your version numbering scheme? Your older version on your sidebar is listed as v 1.2 (that gave me the snoopy errors), while the one linked to your post is listed as v 1.1 . Either way, thanks.
Works like a dream. I use my wishilist mainly for DVDs, books, toys….just anything. I’ve actually received two dvd’s, thanks to having this plugin!
I think it may be my hosts servers. Another phpnuke site I have wioth another host has rss feeds and thenthe host disabled certain “insecure” php / sql functions and the rss feed module in phpnuke stopped working.
Similar error messages are appearing on this host when trying to install amazon and also rss feeds into WP 1.5.
Oh, one more thing. The plugin directions say that it pulls a “book” from your wishlist; actually, it pulls one item from your wishlist. Right before I came here, it was showing a CD. Perhaps this is something to be added to a future version? That way, I can attach CDs to music reviews, books to book reviews, and machine tools to my writings about working on cars.
Just a thought.
I am getting the following error after installing the plugin for wp 1.5
Any help appreciated.
