Amber | DiscountMario :

I want to buy this plugin but I have some questions.

Not sure if you’ve noticed, but the plugin is free, so buying it would be nigh on impossible, keywords and merchant id’s are found in your merchandiser section of linkshare.

You can use this plugin on a blog that already has content, no need to install a new blog.

Regards

Tony

You add the code in a post or page in html view

Hi, the zip file is fine when I download it, perhaps the error is at your end?

Alternatively, you can download it from here http://www.wpaffiliateplugins.com/index.php/free-affiliate-plugin-downloads/

Sure, check the 4 xsl files in the plugin folder and make the adjustments as necesarry, in each file you will see the header and in there is the definition for the pound sign and the dollar sign, then further down the file you will find the pound sign as the currency, change it to the dollar definition. Hopefully this makes sense, if not, email me at admin@currentstyle.co.uk and I will send you the modified xsl files

Hi Michael, you can change the sort order if you are happy to delve into the plugin code:

you will need to add this code block:

$ls_sort= $attr['sf'];

if ($ls_sort==”) {
$ls_sort = ‘retailprice’;
}

Just after this:

$ls_sort_option= $attr['lssort'];

if ($ls_sort_option==”) {
$ls_sort_option = ‘asc’;
}

Then change the request line to read as follows:

$request = “http://feed.linksynergy.com/productsearch?token=”.$merchandisertoken.”&keyword=”.urlencode($lsquery).”&max=”.$lsno.”&pagenumber=”.$ls_pagenumber.”&sort=”.$ls_sort.”&sorttype=”.$ls_sort_option.$lsmerchant;

Then change the next line after the request to this:

$cache_filename = $ls_pagenumber.’-’.$ls_sort_option.’-’.$ls_sort.’-’.str_replace(‘&mid=’,”,$lsmerchant).’-’.$lsquery.’linkshare.xml’;

You will then have a new parameter to use in your shortcode called sf the valid values are retailprice, productname, categoryname and mid (merchant ID), which, when used in conjunction with the lssort option will give you up and down sorting. (asc and dsc).

I’ve just amended my code and produced this page using [ls lsquery="Bandana" lsno="40" lssort="asc" pnum="1" sf="productname"]

Bandanas

Michael, I’m not sure why it doesn’t work using 2 or more blocks per page for you.

I’ve just created this page as a test:

http://www.panfashion.co.uk/01/multi-test-for-michael/

With two blocks of code, and it’s rendering fine for me.

[ls lsquery="shoes" lsno="20" ]

Page Two begins here
[ls lsquery="shoes" lsno="20" pnum="2"]

And, to make sure it works with multiple merchant IDs this page does the same:

http://www.panfashion.co.uk/01/shoes-from-two-merchants-test/

[ls lsmid="24448" lsquery="shoes" lsno="5" ]
Page Two begins here
[ls lsmid="35118" lsquery="shoes" lsno="5" ]

You will have to either set the cache timeout to 1 in the admin panel, or, delete the files with thise keywords in from the plugins cache folder Michael, in order to regenerate them. It looks like there was a glitch at the linkshare end while they were being generated.

Michael, I have noticed the merchandiser system to be a little shaky for the past few days, perhaps this is the issue? As it’s not a problem with the plugin.

Hi Ayda, the only thing I can see that is wrong is the space in the merchant ID parameter ( lsmid=” 3346″ )

Remove the space and try again.

Tony

Michael, you will have to create another couple of pages with the additional pnum (pagenumber) parameter like so, this pnum will respect your number of items, so, if you have lsno=”30″ then pnum=”2″ will begin at item number 31

[ls lsquery="Indianapolis" lsmid="35907" lsno="100" pnum="2" ]

[ls lsquery="Indianapolis" lsmid="35907" lsno="100" pnum="3" ]

You will have to create the links between the pages yourself.
