Documentation Available?

Any documentation on theme functions would be wonderful. Particularly, I am looking for a way to display Amazon data within node.tpl.php. I would like to have the option of not using Display Fields, so that I may move the Amazon content to a different container than the Node content.

How to do what?

Documentation? Examples? Tutorials?
A short video presentation will be nice.
Thanks

So is there any documentation with this?
It is really not at all obvious how to use this module. How does one insert a book into a page for instance?

Thanks,

Jonathan

There are many of us needing this info...

I too am interested in this information. Specifically, I have a list of related books we tell our visitors to look into, they are manually linked to their Amazon.com page with our affiliate id so that we get money for the sale.... What I WANT to do is show more information right on the page, a picture of the book and basic details like price etc.... But I can't find a button or anything else as to how to make this happen.

An input filter for inserting amazon items with [amazon {ISBN}] syntax exists, but currently is lacking documentation.

Before the module is fully released, there are a couple of pieces needed -- one of which is a way to define simple 'related items' for a given node, the way that the existing AAT for Drupal 5 works.

I am completely bamboozled with this module. Nothing seems to work. I have used the Drupal 5 version successfully on 5 sites and imagined it would be the same...

I have no amazon content type that I can add to, no sign of any way to insert amazon links either. Do we have to create the nodes as a type ourselves as that was never the case in Drupal 5.

As stated in the module description, the module provides (at present) a CCK field for Amazon products, NOT a pre-defined node type. The AAT Migration module will do that, but is not yet complete.

Ok thank you for the information...

I'm sorry, that is completely still not helpful to me. Could I please, please, just have ONE EXAMPLE of how to use this module?

With it, you can add a field to any content type that accepts an amazon product ID and outputs a product thumbnail or description. I use this feature on my own blog to post product reviews.

It also provides an API for other modules to use when retrieving and displaying product info.

Here is the missing documentation I needed:

You need to make a filter and enable that filter on the type of nodes you want.

What I did was:

go to Administer >> Sit configuration >> Input formats

select "Add input format"

name it something (I used "Amazon")

Since only I (user 0) am adding, I left the roles unchecked

I selected the check boxes under "Filters" for: Amazon filter, HTML filter, Line break converter, URL filter.

Note that at the bottom of this page (maybe reload it) are the only instructions I saw for how to use the [amazon ...] input filter in a node....

Then I can either edit a node I already made or "create content" and when filling out the form for, say a story node, click on "input format" to expand those settings and pick "Amazon" (or whatever you called the input filter you made).

[I know I didnt add any documentation to the module itself... but I think this is the info you are looking for, so I'll mark this issue fixed. If you still have more questions, just reply and change the status back to active.]

Thanks!

Yes, the documentation is now in progress, see http://drupal.org/node/595464.

Contributions are appreciated.
