I've been trying for the past few days to figure out how I can add another display format for this module.

Currently these are the only options available:

Small image and basic info
Small image and full info
Large Image
Title as link.

I would love to have a Medium image and Full info

I love this module it performs so much better the Book Post but.... I can't for the life of me figure out how to customize the output of this field. Is there any documentation on how I can add a display format to this module?

Also I noticed there is a lot more information being returned from Amazon than is displayed in the Full info outputs. How does someone go about displaying all the fields? I'm really trying to get this working in views to make it work with our current site.

Thank You in advance!

You can use relationships on the ASIN field, and then you have access to the product image. You can create your own world at that point, using the image the way you want, etc.

There also will be a couple of display format improvements coming down the pike, but they have to be done in the code (views api code)

I'm going to write it up. I'm attaching a feature that includes a sample CCK type and view, with relationship, that you can experiment with. You have to install features module to use it, but once you do it gives you a CCK type and a view. Create some content and experiment.

I'll be writing it up before long on the Amazon docs page.

It's possible you'll want to use the dev release with this. The picture may not work on the view.

Thanks,

I'll look into this and see where I can get.
