DEPRECATION WARNING
This documentation is not using the current rendering mechanism and is probably outdated. The extension maintainer should switch to the new system. Details on how to use the rendering mechanism can be found here.
Use as link, image or text with image¶
Link to a product¶
Abb. 1: just a link to a product
After successful installation of the amazon_affiliate extension, you are able to link to an amazon product with the normal linkpicker. In order to add a new link, click the linkpicker symbol and choose the tab 'Amazon Affiliate'. After setting the ASIN you can also add the amazon javascript hover as a mouse over effect by checking the hover checkbox. After setting the link, you'll see in the link field a syntax like ASIN_NUMBER|1 if hover was selected, or only ASIN_NUMBER if hover was not selected.
Add as image¶
Abb. 2: use product image as image element
If you would like to add an amazon product as an image, you can select your favorite product using the ASIN in the Amazon ASIN section in the 'Images' tab. After saving the content element the ASIN will be verified. If the verification fails, you see a message similar to:
It is also possible to use a combined rendering with amazon and normal images and multiple amazon images in columns or rows. You can add the javascript hover as a mouse over effect by selecting the hover checkbox as in the link module. The field value is the same as in the link module.
