Wrong or amazon associate tag when creating amazon node. Had to manually add define('AMAZON_SEARCH_AMAZON_ASSOCIATE_TAG', 'blablaassociate-20'); into amazon.php5.inc as described on http://drupal.org/node/82717

Here's a couple of patched files. They should work properly.

You need access to your database (say, phpMyAdmin) to fix the data. You need to run this SQL query:

UPDATE amazonitem SET pricedate = '01/01/01'

This will force the system to update the prices, tags, etc when cron runs, 10 ASINs per run. You can load http://www.example.com/cron.php into your browser however many times you need to.

You're going to hate me...

I just added a maintanence screen that will handle all this.

Is this 'maintanence screen' already in the code from 17/10/2006 - 07:46? At least under /admin/settings/amazon it doesn't show up at my installation. Am I looking at the wrong place?

Also, as far as my testing went on so far, the code from 14/10/2006 didn't solve the discussed problem for me. After applying the fixes, the affiliate id is now embedded in the generated URL instead of '...tag=AMAZON_SEARCH_AMAZON_ASSOCIATE_TAG..."; however, the sales seem still not to be processed by Amazon. Sales *are* being processed for the affiliate id, if I build an classic URL manually (...http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN//).

This applys to Amazon.de and is based on two test buys.

Seems the old menu is still cached. Go to q=admin/menu, then you'll be able to reach it by q=admin/amazon_import/manage.

I'm not creating the links, I get them straight from the Amazon.de response. I need to think about how to even investigate it.
