Amazon Content Plugin Example
This is an example of the Amazon content plugin (displayed below) for Joomla!.
It allows you to embed product information and reviews and links from Amazon Web Services. The product links includes your Amazon associates id, giving you a great way to monetize your Joomla! articles. The site administrator can also choose to allow authors to use their own associates id.
You can specify a particular product by its Amazon ASIN or ISBN number. Alternatively the plugin can automatically search Amazon using keywords related to your articles, to find the most suitable product.
Much of the output is customizable, for example you can choose whether or not to show ratings and reviews. The plugin handles signed Amazon requests, and allows choice of Amazon country marketplace services. It will work for any of the Amazon country websites, including Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.jp and Amazon.ca, Amazon.it and Amazon.cn.
The plugin can display up to 10 results at a time (Amazon returns a maximum of 10 results per request). You can increase this limit by using multiple instances of the plugin
