Here you can find a detailed documentation: http://www.ichdigital.de/amazonsimpleadmin-documentation/ == Change Log == 0.9.9.1 * Added: Support for the excerpt * Added: 2 new parameters for [asa_collection]: "items" and "type". "items=2" for example lets you limit the collection items to be displayed. type supports "random", so "type=random" shows randomly selected collection items. By default the latest added item will be displayed first. You may combine the two parameters, separated by comma: [asa_collection items=2, type=random]Products01[/asa_collection] If you want to use a template: [asa_collection book, items=2, type=random]Products01[/asa_collection] * Added: Support for placeholders: Languages, Subtitles (for DVDs), Model, ListPrice->FormattedPrice, ListPrice->CurrencyCode, AmountSaved->FormattedPrice, AmountSaved->CurrencyCode 0.9.8 * Bugfixes 0.9.7 * Fixed: Customer reviews. Due to amazon api changes in November 2010 the customer reviews did not work any more. The api now provides a url to an iframe where the reviews are generated for 24 hours. I implemented a way to grab the 5-stars image and the total reviews so the old placeholders are still supported. I hope this way works. If you have any problems please let me know. * Added: News placeholders: LowestOfferFormattedPrice, RatingStarsSrc (the url to the image file) 0.9.6 * Added: Compatible with request authentification * Added: Parsing [asa] tags in user comments (optional) (feature request from Sebastian, thanks) * Bugfix: Browsing a collection list which contained an item without an image caused an error (bug report by Lingus, thanks) * Bugfix: Product with multiple artists caused an error (bug report by Aaron, thanks) 0.9.5 * Added: Caching * Added new placeholders: ProductDescription, AmazonDescription, Artist * Bugfix: Template parsing bug fixed 0.9.4.1 * Fixed: Installation of collections (form for installation was not displayed) * Added function asa_item for use in PHP code everywhere eg sidebar: * (User request) Added placeholder "CustomRating" which can be used like this [asa custom_rating=3.5]0316015849[/asa] 0.9.4 * Adapated to wordpress version 2.5 * Added some new DVD related placehoders (Director, Actors, RunningTime, Format, Studio) * Added an exemplary dvd template 0.9.3.1 * Bugfix: Fixed error in deleting collection items 0.9.3 * Bugfixes * Added new placeholders: AverageRating, TotalReviews, RatingStars 0.9.2 * Added new placeholders: ASIN, ISBN, EAN, NumberOfPages, ReleaseDate, Binding, Author, Creator, Edition * Added template book.htm * Fixed: Delete collection items with qutations in title 0.9.1 * Added a PHP Version checker.
