AmazonJS displays Amazon products on your WordPress posts and pages. AmazonJS adds a search form to WordPress post form. Then you can search Amazon products by keyword, ASIN or URL, and add shortcode or html to your post from results of search.
AmazonJS uses `amazonjs’ shortcode and jQuery template to display Amazon products. View the work data at runtime, Javascript allows various representations. AmazonJS has some template to Amazon products for each Product Group, it can how to display the different Amazon products, such as books and music.

<li>Plugin Uses API cache by using Transients API</li>
<li>Customize template by using jQuery template</li>
<li>HTTPS Support</li>

</ul>
<h4>Using Amazon Product Advertising API</h4>
AmazonJS requires <a href="https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/advertising/api/detail/main.html" rel="nofollow ugc">Amazon Product Advertising API</a> 
in order to get Amazon product information from ASIN or keyword. 
Thus, you have to sign up Amazon Product Advertising API and specify your Access Key and Secret Access Key. 
And you must set your associate tags for Amazon Associates also.
<h4>Shortcode</h4>
AmazonJS adds a media link above an editor in the editing post page. The form that searches an Amazon product is shown when you click it. AmazonJS adds a simple html code (like WP-amazon) or an <code>amazonjs</code> shortcode from form.
AmazonJS supports the `amazonjs’ shortcode.
<pre><code>ex)
[amazonjs asin="B00005ED8E" locale="JP" tmpl="Small" title="D・N・A"]
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>asin: (required) ASIN (ProductID of Amazon)</li>
<li>locale: (required) <code>US</code>, <code>UK</code>, <code>DE</code>, <code>FR</code>, <code>JP</code>, <code>CA</code>, <code>CN</code>, <code>IT</code> or <code>ES</code></li>
<li>tmpl: (optional) <code>Small</code>. if tmpl is empty, apply a template via Product Group of Amazon Product Advertising API.</li>
<li>title: (optional) It will be used for loading message.</li>
<li>imgsize: (optional) Thumbnail image size. <code>small</code>, <code>medium</code> or <code>large</code>.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Display by javascript</h4>
In first, AmazonJS converts <a></a> tag from <code>amazonjs</code> short code in server side. Second, in window.load, <code>amazonjs.js</code> (it is added by plugin) will replace <a></a> tag with formatted html to display Amazon Product by using jQuery template.

Amazon JS

beautiful

Easy to add an Amazon product to your post and you can customize display it…

asmaloney

This plugin allows you to link directly to items in your 
posts using a special tag of the form:
[amazon ASIN=0123456789]Fancy Title[/amazon]
The plugin lets you set associate IDs for each international amazon server and set one server 
as the default for your site.
It also includes an Amazon Search widget which will search any of the amazon servers 
and produce search results with direct links to products.
It also provides an XSLT file for the amazon server to access, which processes it together with the XML results of 
the search, and then returns HTML. This saves your server from having to process the XML itself.
It uses css to format the search widget and the search results. It will look in its css dir for theme-specific css files 
too, so if you have one in there called your-theme-name.css, it will include it after default.css. This way you may 
customize search results for a given theme by dropping in a new css file. So if you allow your users to switch themes, you can include 
a css file for each one and the search will look correct when it is switched.

<h3>Configuring The Plugin</h3>
In the Admin section, under Settings -> Amazon Search you may configure the following:
<h4>Associate IDs</h4>
In this section, fill in any associate IDs you have. You may also select one of the servers to be the 
default for your users. If you live in France, you might choose the amazon.fr server, for example. 
Any IDs left blank will be filled in with mine.
<h4>Development Contribution</h4>
Ah, here’s the hook! I’ve set it up so that every ‘N’ searches [or page displays if you are using the text links], 
the links which are produced use my 
associate IDs. You can choose a value for ‘N’ here. No need to go hacking if you don’t want to support 
development – just set it to 0 and it won’t ever substitute my associate IDs.
<h4>Text Links</h4>
If Use Text Links is on, the plugin will process your posts looking for a special markup and convert them to links.
To add a text link to an Amazon product, simply use the following format:
[amazon ASIN=0743279794]Fancy Title[/amazon]
ISBN may be used in place of ASIN – they are effectively the same thing. It is a case-insensitive match, so ‘asin’ is the same as ‘ASIN’.
This tag will be converted to a link of the form:
<a href=”http://www.amazon.com/dp/0743279794/?tag=yourTag-20″>Fancy Title</a>
If you have Use ip2Nation checked and the <a href="http://www.ip2nation.com/ip2nation" rel="nofollow ugc">ip2Nation database</a> is installed, it may be used to locate the best Amazon site for the visitor. Any country not handled specially will 
use your default Amazon server. If you have the Development Contribution set in your prefs, a page load will count as a ‘search’.
NOTE: The handling of which Amazon site is best per country is incomplete at best. I would appreciate any feedback or additions/corrections 
to the list [which is found in the getAmazonServerFromIP() function in amz-search.php].
Add Editor Buttons allows you to turn off the additional buttons in the editors which provide a quick way to enter an amazon link.
<h4>Searching</h4>
Use Searching allows you to turn off the search capability completely in case you just want to use the text links.
Default Category is the one that will be used when the user searches from the widget. When they 
get the results, they will be able to change the category on the search page.
Default Search Term is what is used if the user doesn’t enter a search term. Right now it defaults 
to ‘WordPress’. You will probably want to change it to something appropriate to your site.
You may specify an XSLT file that will be sent to the amazon servers for processing. This file must be publicly 
accessible because the amazon servers will be reading it to provide formatting. 
If you don’t know what this means, you better leave it alone. The XSLT file may be edited if you want to 
customise the results produced by the search. I am certainly not an XSLT expert, so if you have any suggestions, 
please contact me.
You may also set the size of the images that are to be returned in the search or ‘None’ to turn them off. 
Watch out if you set this to ‘Large’!
