Hi
trying to find the mistake I might have made, I found that "Power" and
"ListMania" methods do not work whereas "Wishlist" does... I'm now
thoroughly confused. #-(
This is the ListMania-list in question:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/listmania/list-browse/-/
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/listmania/list-browse/-/2JL71ZABPETRC/
ref=cm_aya_av.lm_more/103-8480217-6845455>
2JL71ZABPETRC/ref=cm_aya_av.lm_more/103-8480217-6845455
And this is the code I use:
<MTAmazon method="ListMania" search="2JL71ZABPETRC">
<!-- ------ <MTAmazonTitle> ------ //-->
<table hspace="0" border="0" align="left" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top"><a href="<MTAmazonLink>" target="_new"><img
src="<MTAmazonSmallImage>" align="left" width="40" border="0"></a></td>
<td width="2"></td>
<td valign="top"><a href="<MTAmazonLink>"
target="_new"><MTAmazonTitle><br>[<MTAmazonReleaseDate format="%b
%Y"></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br><br>
</MTAmazon>
Note: The absolute same code snippet with "Wishlist" as method and
appropriate ID as search string works just fine and returns the right
results ...
BTW: I also re-installed the complete MTAmazon and SimpleXML modules...
I could really use some help-- my headache is killing me! ;o)
Cheers,
Christian

Betreff: [Mtamazon] Problem with "power"-search: no results
Hi
I'm fine-tuning my blog and I've installed Adam's excellent PlugIn (thanks a
lot, btw) about a month ago. So far it's been running smoothly using the
"keyword" method and getting the search string from the category description
field. That's pretty neat!
But now I'm using categories and/or articles that require a little more
fine-tuning within the amazon search and the "power"-method seemed to be
just what I needed. BUT: Even using very simple and static search strings
(without using the CatDescription field) like this one...
<MTAmazon method="Power" search="subject: history or military"
line="books">...</MTAmazon>
...I won't get any results! I've also emptied my amazoncache directory, to
be sure. Still nothing. Any ideas, anyone? I'd really appreciate any hints
you can give me!
Cheers,
Christian
