This is the latest version of Amazon associated Tools (sorry I dont have GZip, I will zip it if I need to update the file!)

Should be well tested... Applied Patches
http://drupal.org/node/168687
http://drupal.org/node/89531
http://drupal.org/node/255301

* pros:
** (a) site and module seem not to break (very good!);
** (b) images and pricing data are refreshed when editing and saving the node ;-)

* cons:
** (a) prices and images are not refreshed when simply loading a node, but after refreshing the node;
** (b) this fix seems not to have any effect for images/data embedded in blocks provided by AAT like "We recommend".
** (c) Also, this fix seems to to correct data from the AAT node type "amazon-node".

cons (a) apears to be a lack of an update to the $node object!

Added some formatting. Now in the trailer it no longer prints separate tables for each item but one table for all items and each tr is class="odd" or class="even"

To install just drop the module file into your directory! No need to update anything.

This is dev, and I doubt there are any new bugs I would suggest you use with caution.

Would you recommend applying this patch even if we are able to create Amazon nodes using the 5.x-1.5 version?

so far it seems reliable... just read the articles I referenced for the changes... I also included one table in the reference section...

Ok, thanks. I looked at the issues & I don't think that our use case requires an upgrade. I wish I understood the code of this module more though; I'm trying to make it possible to update the node titles on my Amazon nodes & I don't even know where the node operations code is.

Hope that you do get to be the maintainer of this module; it would be good to see it active again!

I added full tables for preview, instead of each book having titles. I added a better more trimmed version of the icons for no books, which includes a SMALL book. I removed the image size fields from the Database, and replaced them with css class's, and I did a lot of looking into it. I added an update to remove the fields and fixed all the SQL to handle this.

I on mass updates I wanted to update the node data and not display the books we had. Instead page through until we get a book that we don't have. It would of been nice just to have more then 10 on an upgrade form. But here is the update. This should be a step in the right direction.

This is a responsible upgrade with better images for small and medium items that have no image. It also keeps the height and width data intact, and the complete data structure. The only difference from post #2 is improved css styling support and a much needed function "theme_amazon_related_links" that allows all of the associated books to be put into one table, instead of separate tables for each separate associated book. There should be no problems with this commit other then those upgrading who are overriding the theme functions. These people will have to look at the differences and make changes accordingly.
