Hi all,

Is it possible to create an amazon relationship in views? I can't seem to figure out how to make it work using a content type as the "main" node for the view and adding in the rlelationship or the other way around, using amazon as the "main" amazon type for the view and adding the content type in the relationship.

Is it possible? What am I doing wrong?

Please help!

Using Views2 and even implemented the patch for Views2 here.

When creating a new view, I'm presented with this list:

View type:
[] Node
Nodes are a Drupal site's primary content.
[] Comment
Comments are responses to node content.
[] File
Files maintained by Drupal and various modules.
[] Node revision
Node revisions are a history of changes to nodes.
[] Term
Taxonomy terms are attached to nodes.
[] User
Users who have created accounts on your site.
[] Amazon item
The Amazon item type allows views of Amazon products saved on your site.

If I select 'Node' I only get a single option from the CCK I used to make the Amazon Item (the ASIN). If I select 'Amazon Item' I only get the item information created and no access to other features (trying to implement with Fivestar). Also, the options are wonky, ie. I can select the ISBN or Producer but can't select 'Author' (as in, song author, I'm trying to link to MP3 downloads) .

I think this is a great module, but it'd be nice to find some additional documentation on how it works. I don't mind reading if there is anything out there already, but I've yet to find it.

Thanks in advance!

Me too. I've got a custom content type with the Amazon Item as one of many fields. I'd like to display the Amazon info in a sortable table, but also include info from the other CCK fields.

Has anyone addressed this or solved this? I'd like to implement fivestar with amazon also.

Most people will want a node-type view. You then create a relationship on the Content-type-ASIN or whatever it is. Then all the elements of the entire Amazon item are available to you. There is an example view/cck setup with downloads at http://drupal.org/node/524296, and we'll shortly have more examples on the Amazon Module documentation page at http://drupal.org/node/595464. Feel free to help out with that page when you master this. It works pretty well, actually.
