suggestions and help

Great idea for the plugin!

See it in action with edits so far here: http://http://www.baby.lench.us/?page_id=41 and my personal site is (insert shamless plug) here:http://http://www.daniellench.com (still in progress, the header image isn't right yet).
Our baby is due in may and I wanted to put an amazon wish list on my site for the ease of one stop shopping. Your plugin is the best one out there and I want to help make it better.

How 'bout these edits in the shortcode because my theme for the baby site doesn't handle widgets well. I wanted to show the item picture and the content together so I edited the avh-amazon.shortcode.php

edits to the function shortcodeAsin:

Code: [Select]


case 'pic-text' :
$imgsrc = $item_result['Items']['Item']['SmallImage']['URL'];
$return = '<table style=" border: none; cellpadding: 2px; align: left"><tr><td><a title="' . $content . '" href="' . $myurl . '"><img class="alignleft" src="' . $imgsrc . '" alt="' . $content . '"/></a></td><td><a title="' . $content . '" href="' . $myurl . '">' . $content . '</a></td></tr></table>';
break;

Had to add the tables because the items were nesting when there are multiples and the background was ending prematurely.


edits to the function metaboxTabOutputOptions:

Code: [Select]

echo '<label><input type="radio" value="pic" id="avhamazon_sc' . $tabid . '_linktypep" name="avhamazon_sc' . $tabid . '_linktype"/> ' . __ ( 'Picture', 'avhamazon' ) . '</label><br />';
echo '<label><input type="radio" value="pic-text" id="avhamazon_sc' . $tabid . '_linktypept" name="avhamazon_sc' . $tabid . '_linktype"/> ' . __ ( 'Picture and Text', 'avhamazon' ) . '</label></p>';
Changed the </p> to <br /> at the end of the _linktypep line above and added </p> to the end of the new line.




I'm not so good at coding so I can't figure out how to show all items at once and I had to insert each item into the editor.
The post in the editor looks exactly like this:[avhamazon wishlist="ZS4YOCPN2JT6" asin="B000UEA9ZW" linktype="pic-text" locale="US"][avhamazon wishlist="ZS4YOCPN2JT6" asin="B000LPBQC0" linktype="pic-text" locale="US"]

It must be a "while have items(get items)" or something like the wordpress loop to get all items in the wishlist.



Lastly I was trying to pull the wish list from the database to be the default value in the input box but I'm lost completely. I think it is retrieved at the beginning.

Code: [Select]

// Get options from WP
$this->db_options = 'avhamazon';
$options_from_table = get_option ( $this->db_options );
But like I said, I'm lost.


It should be an edit to the value="" in the function metaboxTabWishlist:

Code: [Select]

//can't figure this out
echo ' <input style="width: 13em" type="text" value="' . $this->info['wishlist_id'] . '" id="avhamazon_scwishlist_wishlist" name="avhamazon_scwishlist_wishlist" autocomplete="on"/>';
//i want the default wishlist populated

I'll keep your associate ID for the purchases because it's not pulling it from the database correctly.

I changed it from yours in the admin panel but it doesn't pass into the shortcode:

Code: [Select]

// Update default options by getting not empty values from options table
foreach ( ( array ) $default_options as $default_options_name => $default_options_value ) {
if ( ! is_null ( $options_from_table[$default_options_name] ) ) {
if ( is_int ( $default_options_value ) ) {
$default_options[$default_options_name] = ( int ) $options_from_table[$default_options_name];
} else {
$default_options[$default_options_name] = $options_from_table[$default_options_name];
if ( 'associated_id' == $default_options_name ) {
if ( 'blogavirtualh-20' == $options_from_table[$default_options_name] ) $default_options[$default_options_name] = 'avh-amazon-20'; // Changed the Amazon ID for better tracking
}
}
}
}
What do you think, and thanks again.

also, do you know Jessica van der Steen?

sorry i couldn't resist, my great great g-pa  shortened his name from lenchitsky and ever since i found out I've been fascinated with cool names.

First congrats on the upcoming baby.
Second I'm glad to read you like my plugin,
Third I don't know a Jessica van der Steen, it sounds Dutch and probably she is as well. I'm from the Netherlands myself, moved to the States about 4 years ago.

Hmm, it seems you stumble upon a bug, because the content should be shown when a a shortcode is used with a picture. (Whoops my mistake, it was setup to show no text)
I'll see if I can create something for you that creates an entire page with all the items. If that's what you are looking for, let me know.

The default wishlist is something I have planned for the next release and with the bug you discovered it might get in a bit quicker

Edit:
 (Whoops my mistake, it was setup to show no text)

All right I have a patch for you that you integrate in avh-amazon.shortcode.php, this will process all items from the wishlist.

Code: [Select]

// If a random item is wanted, fill $attrs['asin'] with an ASIN from the wishlist
if ( 'random' == strtolower ( $attrs['asin'] ) ) {
$Item_keys = avh_getItemKeys ( $list_result['Lists']['List']['ListItem'] );
foreach ( $Item_keys as $value ) {
$Item = $list_result['Lists']['List']['ListItem'][$value];
}
$attrs['asin'] = $Item['Item']['ASIN'];
}

if ( 'all' == strtolower($attrs['asin'])) {
foreach ($list_result['Lists']['List']['ListItem'] as $key => $value) {
$attrs['asin'] = $value['Item']['ASIN'];
list ( $oneresult, $error ) = $this->shortcodeAsin ( &$proxy, $attrs, $content, $associatedid );
$result .= $oneresult.'<br />';
}
$attrs['asin'] = null;
}
You'll have to change the shortcode by hand to read the following:

Code: [Select]

[avhamazon wishlist="ZS4YOCPN2JT6" asin="all" linktype="pic-text" locale="US"]
I'll add the above patch into the production code, with the next update this will be in there.

nicely done, and simpler than i thought.
http://http://www.baby.lench.us/?page_id=41

works perfectly!

also a question, does the cache update only when a page or post is saved or at an interval. i am resaving the page to force the wishlist to update. i do not have the wp-cache active or any other caching active.

thanks again peter for your help and plugin.
 i added the avh-amazon-20 tag to the direct link on the page as well.

i'm still poking around and thinking about things with the site and the wishlist, i'll post updates and keep checking in regularly.

Thank you adding me to your direct  link, I appreciate that a lot.

I'm not sure what you mean with "cache update" so I'll explain the process of the plugin a bit

If you refer the

Code: [Select]

$cache = new wsdlcache ( $avhamazon->wsdlcachefolder, 0 ); // Cache it indefinitely in the code, this is a cache for the WSDL file from Amazon. Instead of getting the file from Amazon at every request I cache it locally to save bandwidth and time.
WSDL stands for Web Services Description Language, and it's an XML document that describes a Web service, like Amazon. It specifies the location of the service and the operations and methods the service has, like LookUpItem for example.
This caching doesn't effect the calls, like the ItemLookup, etc made to Amazon.

The shortcode that's embedded in your page isn't processed by WordPress until the page is shown in a browser.
When you add items to your wishlist in Amazon, you don't have to do anything in WordPress. Sometimes it can take a few minutes before an item will show up but that's at Amazon's side.

I hope it explains it a bit.
Any suggestions are welcome of course. I just started on the next release v2.2, it will mostly have some enhancements in the backend, your suggestions will be incorporated as wll, like a default wishlist for the shortcode.
