Hello, we had NoNumber's Article Anywhere to embed content from an article into a module. However, we get random Amazon products injected when using Article Anywhere's plugin tag {article}
We've tried moving the plugins order but still having problems.
The AmazonWS plugin appears to take the lookup information from the title of the article embedded into the module. |

If that is what is happening then it has to be something caused by Article Anywhere - possibly it is re-defining the article meta tags. The Amazon plugin just uses the information that is passed to it, if it is wrong that is not something that it can fix.
What I suggest that you do is to use the plugin embedding code method instead:-
{amazonWS:keywords=mykey1,mkey2}
or if you want a specific product
{amazonWS:itemId=xxxxxxx}
replace xxxxxxxx with the ASIN or 10 digit ISBN number which you can find on the Amazon product page.
You just add the code to your article where you want the Amazon product information to appear.
Using this method might seem a bit more difficult but it will give you much more control over the display, and it is still quite easy really. |

We use the embedded method, and it was working wonderfully. However, I think this is the problem...
The article that was embedded by Articles Anywhere was uncategorized.
When we assigned the article to a Section and Category, the problem disappeared.
In the AmazonWS plugin we have it set to No sections, No categories, and No articles.
If the article we are embedding into a module is not in any section or category, the AmazonWS pops up with a reference related to the article. If we assign it to a section/category, it stops.
Is there any way to stop AmazonWS completely unless we use the {amazonWS} tags?
It appears that the logic is different when the article shows up inside an module. I'm having a similar problem with another Articles slider...if we show all UNcategorized articles in the slider, AmazonWS is activated.
Thanks |

OK, thanks to your explanation I am fairly sure I understand what is going on. It was basically a situation I had not allowed for in the programming logic.
I have made a slight modification to the plugin that should stop this from happening. Now if you choose 'No Sections' and 'No Categories' the plugin should not be rendered, even for articles that are uncategorized - unless you include some embedding code.
I have uploaded the new version, you just need to re-download the package file from your account. There is no need to uninstall the older version, just upload and install the new version using the Joomla installer, it will overwrite the old file.
No problem with the duplicate posts - the same thing happened to me. |

Hello,
I also use Articles Anywhere, plus other nonumber extensions. I purchased this plugin 7 months ago & and have been awaiting an update. I've just tried to download the modified version described above but it seems that download access is only valid for a couple of days after purchasing a product, and any updates then require another 10 pound purchase, is that right or am I doing something wrong???
Regards, KB. |

Customers who purchased the plugin a few months ago may find that their download id has lapsed, but you are still entitled to an update. I have re-enabled your download for you, you should be able to download the updated version now.
For any customer who finds their download id has lapsed before a year is up, you just need to contact us, we will re-enable it for you. |
