Extension Manager Configuration

img-3 Abb. 1: extension configuration

After your successful registration on amazon partnernet and activation of the extension, you must enter your secret_key, access_key and associate_tag in the respective fields in the extension manager configuration. If you use amazon.de as an affiliate you don't need to change anything else. Otherwise you must change the country to fit your needs.

The field minimumAsinlistCount is the minimum number of ASINs for the book and product listing plugin. If fewer than 'minimumAsinlistCount' ASIN products in a plugin are available, you'll see an error in the backend module and the plugin element can't be changed until the minimum count of available ASIN numbers in the plugin element is reached. The plugin checks the availability of the products while saving the content element.

The field displayLimit sets the global limit for the Topseller and SearchAndAdd plugin listings. In each plugin you can also overwrite this limit for that plugin element. If nothing is set, the plugin will return 10 products.

Add static template

In order to use the predefined settings, you have to include the static template.
