Hi Craig,

thanks for your feedback.
This means that your Amazon account is not yet approved for the Amazon Product Advertising API. Please have a look at the conditions under the given link. They should be the same in Canada as in other countries. It may be necessary that three products have to be purchased via your affiliate link, maybe even via the website you have provided in the Amazon account settings.

I hope this information helps you. If you still have questions, please let me know.

Hi David,
ASA2 version 1.9.1 got released today which brings support for the Amazon API Australia. Here you can see the complete changelog: https://getasa2.com/changelog/

[Timo]

I look forward to supporting the API for Australia. As soon as the update is available, I will let you know in this thread.

[Timo]

Thanks for your feedback and request. An update is in preparation and will be available soon.

[Timo]

Thanks for the details and sorry for the late reply. This will be checked and fixed (if applicable) very soon and I’ll let you know about the results here.

Hi, as I wrote you by e-mail, my suggestion is to activate the WP debug log (see here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress). Then reload the ASA setup page and check the file wp-content/debug.log for error messages regarding ASA1. I hope this will help us to find a hint to your issue.

Hallo Bernhard,

freut mich, dass es mit dem Custom Field geklappt hat. Deinen abschließenden Satz mit der Lösung kann ich allerdings nicht ganz nachvollziehen. Ist “Produktartikel” noch ein anderer Custom Post Type, der über ein anderes Plugin bzw. Theme kommt, WooCommerce oder ähnliches?

Meinst du mit den Bewertungs-Sternen, dass die Grafik extern geladen wird? Dann stelle doch mal in den Template Option die hübschere Anzeige ein (siehe http://docs.getasa2.com/options_templates.html#advanced-rating-stars). Dann werden die Bilder per CSS und lokaler Grafik geladen.

[Timo]

Hallo Bernhard,

danke für deine Anfrage. Am elegantesten würde das mit WP Custom Fields gehen. Du definierst pro Beitrag ein oder mehrere Custom Fields per ACF mit denen du Bilder auswählen kannst. Diese liest du dann per ASA2 aus und verwendest du die entsprechenden Platzhalter in deinem Template, siehe: http://docs.getasa2.com/placeholders_custom_fields.html

Mit ASA1 ist das leider nicht möglich. Damit könntest du über Umwege, z.B. mit dem Comment Platzhalter eine URL in ein Template schleusen, siehe: {$Comment} auf https://www.wp-amazon-plugin.com/placeholders/

Ich hoffe, ich konnte dir helfen. Wenn du weitere Fragen hast, lass es mich wissen.

Gruß
Timo

This is not normal, of course. There are users with several 1000 items in the Repo not having issues like this. Do you test this page as admin or standard user? If you are testing as admin, the cache will be ignored with your settings, which could lead to a longer loading time, but not as long as you describe.
Without the opportunity to take a closer look, it is difficult to find an explanation. You are welcome to create a ticket and send me access data so I can take a look at it.

[Timo]

Sure, I understand. There will be a keyword search function in a future update. There is already a prototype for it.

[Timo]

Thanks for your request. Currently it is not possible to include a keyword search directly on a page. That would be very imprecise anyway, because you would have no control over the resulting products. But you could use the search page import function of ASA2. It is described here: http://docs.getasa2.com/import_url_importer.html#search-result-url

This feature gives you control over which products you want to import into ASA2’s product repository. You can then add categories and tags to the imported products as you are used to in WordPress and then use the extensive filters of the asa2_smart_collection shortcode to display the products you want. Here you find the filter options for smart collections: Here you find the filter options of the shortcode: http://docs.getasa2.com/shortcodes_asa2_smart_collection.html

I hope I was able to help you. If you still have questions, please let me know.

Hallo Peter,

sorry, dieses Thema habe ich wohl übersehen. Besteht das Problem noch? Bei wichtigen bzw. zeitkritischen Problemen erstelle bitte ein Support-Ticket (http://www.ifeelweb.de/support/). Das erhalte ich direkt per Mail und kümmere mich zeitnah darum.

[Timo]

The number of columns is related to the maximum width value, which you can also adjust in the template settings.

You have configured a max width of 1200 pixel for 7 columns. This results in a width of approx. 172 px per product. The content area of your page is 960 pixels wide. 960 divided by 172 gives space for 5 columns. If you reduce the max width setting to 900, you will get 7 columns. 🙂

[asa2_feed tplid=”17″ image_size=”small” max_row_items=”7″ max_width=”900″]3[/asa2_feed]

Just play a bit with several combinations of max_width and max_row_items to get your preferred layout.

As mentioned earlier, feed limits above 10 don’t make sense as feeds currently only support 10 items (the top 10 delivered by Amazon’s RSS feeds).

[Timo]

This is because Amazon only delivers the top 10 products for a news feed. Therefore, with the shortcode asa2_feed only 10 results are possible at the moment. Maybe you can work with the short code asa2_smart_collection (http://docs.getasa2.com/shortcodes_asa2_smart_collection.html) and the categories or tags that can be set automatically for the products of a news feed.

[Timo]

Thank for your feedback. I am happy that you could solve it on your own. ASA depends on PHP DOMDocument which is part of the default installation (see http://php.net/manual/de/class.domdocument.php). Of course, there may be some extensions missing for PHP installations that are not standard. But DOMDocument should always be part of PHP since version 5.

If you still have questions, please let me know.
