pnAPI compliant
pnRendered compliant
.76x, .8 compliant (thus far)
multi-locale (even Japan)
multi-currency
XHTML 1.1 compliant (as much as possbible)
ECS 4.0 compliant
REST compliant
See in action: http://www.ttgapers.…module-ttStore.html
I would like to submit this to PostNuke Modules for inclusion. Please advise on module registration etc.
Now, I am still contemplating this modules for general release. Based on feedback it will be. Last time I did not get enough feedback to warrant release and support. Hopefully now with a multi-locale offering it will be.
Regards
supa

You're not going to get much more feedback than others like this one until people can check it out. Does it include blocks and if so what kind?

Well, indeed it looks fine. I suggest you to release the module so it can be tried within various platforms and setups.
Nice work.
Later!

look forward to the rlease - BTW. Do you think of adding some blocks like centerblock
see eg http://www.preciogasolina.com - the great site with some nice ideas for amazon-module
on a sidenote: plz take care of some important things - the Allow_url_fopen is dangerouls - workaround
plz plan to go around the fopen statement-since it is not very supportet on many servers.
http://preciogasolina.com/postp1055.html#1055
Open /includes/NukeAmazon/functions.php
replace function AMZ_file_get_contents($URL) with the following code.
My host has disabled PHP's allow_url_fopen which includes the "fopen" command
for security reasons which doesn't allow this module to work.
They instead recommend curl functions.
so supa plz help us by adding a version that uses no Fopen statement - many many thanks for all you did.

Code
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url );
curl_setopt ( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 );
$content = curl_exec ( $ch ) ;
curl_close ( $ch );

Unfortunately I have also discovered that on most servers when fopen with remote urls is disabled the GetImageSize function is also disabled for remote urls and that cause a lot of problems because all images coming from Amazon are not displayed. I am trying to find a solution to this new problem.
So the answer to the question "Why aren't you releasing a new version of the Amazone module ?" is "Because it is not ready"

vive la france - and the caribean sea ] bonjour - thanks for the newsupdate;
jmvedrine
For the AmaZone module as I have already said I will not use curl to resolve the fopen problem, I will use the snoopy library.
Unfortunately I have also discovered that on most servers when fopen with remote urls is disabled the GetImageSize function is also disabled for remote urls and that cause a lot of problems because all images coming from Amazon are not displayed. I am trying to find a solution to this new problem.
So the answer to the question "Why aren't you releasing a new version of the Amazone module ?" is "Because it is not ready"
Agreed jmvedrine - but your old module is runned with a fopen-restriction workaround on the follwing page http://www.metaphysx.com okay agreed you want to work with the snoopy-lib.
But see what the user had done with the old module: the two following guys have luck with this: david@stanley.ie,cgoode@metaphysx.com,
BTW: releasing early would be good for all - as we see here - according this thread http://noc.postnuke.…d=2131&forum_id=929
well JmVedrine, if you continue to work on the module then let us know how it goes; it would be great to see that you are well and everything goes on... I guess that many many users are waitin on a good amazon module.
on a sidenote to Supa:, the creator of the pnAmazon 2.1: Supa, please take care on the fopen-restriction-issue. We need a workaround on your module here. Please take this into consideration.
Above all: it would be great if you both come up with some nifty features - like centerblocks and the like.
on a last sidenote; what bout a qick hack of the script here: plz can anybody say what we should do?! BTW see the module on http://www.ulsoft.scarbridge.co.uk - please scroll down and look how powerful it is.
http://www.ulsoft.sc…?name=Amazon_Search
the PHPNuke-Guy portet over the scripts of this guy here http://www.chipdir.nl/amazon/ - there also a fopen-fixed version exists. see here http://www.chipdir.n…viewtopic.php?t=404. So the quick port of this script would fit many many needs.
voila - watcha think?! Supa, St-Ego dont ya think that we should ponder on that. JeanMichel what do you think?!
look forward to hear from you three - and from every postnuker,
the more input we have here the better
charlesB
on a sidenote and by the what could happen when the stuff is released to the public. when releasing the stuff you multiply brains that work on a problem. You can use the global brain and solve things with ease. Well you dramatically let the explode the development speed - and have a powerful and sustainable development.

juste wante to share with you folks: Question & Answer by JMVedrine and a user.
...since there are many modules out there - i want to make some more input here:
on a request the differences between the two mods - bookmod and Amazone 1.2 this can be used as a FAQ:
voila:
> The books home page on Sourceforge
http://pn-mod-books.sourceforge.net/ see also http://sourceforge.n…jects/pn-mod-books
http://pn-mod-books.sourceforge.net/
My last commit to CVS is dated Jan 11th 2006 and Sourceforge CVS has
been down for the entire April month and for part of May so I could not
commit anything !!
My plan is to commit the new totally rewritten version as soon as the
lang files are done. Unfortunately I only speak French and English so I
must rely on several volunteers to do the other languages.wich take some
time.
http://pn-mod-books.sourceforge.net/
> The Amazone home page on the NOC doesn't exist.
http://noc.postnuke.…/projects/amazone/
FALSE I don't know what is your browser problem this page is fine and
display OK on all the computers I tried and you are the first one to
report such a problem. The newest file release for either project was January 2006
This is because these files are working with no known problem with the
last PostNuke version. I only release new version when I correct a bug,
add new functionality or rewrite a module. And neither site has active/current forums or bug reports.
FALSE see http://sourceforge.n…er/?group_id=46980 and
http://noc.postnuke.…acker/?group_id=263 you will see that I answer
reports when i have a solution. If a bug/feature request has no answer from me this is because I currently have no answer !!
Questions & answers:
>
> [1] My understanding is that Amazone is taking the place of PN-mod-books. Is that
> true?
No these 2 module serve totally different purposes and AmaZone don't replace books.
- in books you can advertise products from other stores than Amazon (for
instance Barne&Noble, ...) and from differents amazon websites (for
instance amazon.com and amazon.fr) at the same time
- in books amazon websevice are only used at item creation but all data
for and item come from the PostNuke database. Amazon is not used at all
when a visitor display the details of an item.
- in AmaZone you can only advertise products coming from one Amazone webstore
- all details for an item come from the Amazon webservices. they are
cached but if the cache is too old a new query to Amazon is done It's up to you to decide which module is good for you
> [2] If Amazone is replacing PN-mod-books, how hard is it to
> migrate a working PN-mod-books dataset?
> No migration is possible because the tables are too differents
> [3] How close are we to a safe version for use with PN 7.6.2?
Both AmaZone and books current versions are working well with PostNuke
.762 you can download books current version (version 750 RC4) here
http:// http://sourc…php?group_id=46980 and AmaZone
current version (version 1.1)here:
http://noc.postnuke.…m/frs/?group_id=263
Jean-Michel Védrine" end of cit. [i hopefully have done this with the consent of mister Vedrine - which is a great developer and i look forward to the new module from him!!
well folks - this hopefully clears up a bit the scene - we have a bunch of amazon-modules out there. How to migrate?, which one to use? how long should we wait? which features are planned? and so on and so on....
these questions should have its own forum - but now they hopefully find a Thread here in this forum - - please answer as much as you can. add your ideas, suggestions and your general praise to the modules, the ideas and so on..
voila
regards
charlesB

Hello,
I don't know what you really mean but I want to share with all users of this forum that
- the guy known on this forum under the name CharlesBarrillea is spamming me since weeks (I have all IP used on file) posting on my website, sending me several mails and private messages a day, posting pointless messages here and on PN-mod books mailing list.
- when he said "Question & Answer by JMVedrine and a user" you can all guess the user was him under another name !
- when he said "hopefully have done this with the consent of mister Vedrine" this is of course a total lie
- of course all his spam mails are treated as such by my anti-spam software aand left unanswered (I was forced to answer his postning to the PN-mod books maillist because it contained a lot of false statements)
At first I was thinking he was simply a troll and that if I ignore him he will stop but I am now tired of all this fuss and i think it is time to report such acts to this forum's moderators (update : done)
To avoid continuing this pointless thread this will be my last post in it.

Well, I just want to support jmvedrine. For the time I have been using his upgrades and fixes to some modules like cards, books and the Amazone he has demostrated commitment and professionalism to the PN community.
It is a shame a person that put his time to provide solutions for the community receive any kind of accusation. I know there are some guys that contribute nothing to OS project like this one and complaint all the time pressing to get what they want. Their interest are for themself, not the community. Just ignore them...
Just my comment.
Thanks jmvedrine for the work you have done for the PostNuke community! Keep the good work.
Later

(I was forced to answer his postning to the PN-mod books maillist because it contained a lot of false statements)
Ahh.... I believe it was my e-mail message that you responded to in the PN-mod-books e-mail list. You did clarify my misunderstandings.
I do not know anything about the other individual, but I must say I am greatful that he pointed me to this thread.
However, I thank you for your response on the mail list, as it was the first, clear statement of where things are today. I've had PN-mod-books running on multiple sites for years and am currently using 0.750RC4. The fact that it is still listed as a Release Candidate has made me nervous. Especially as it was released for pn750. There were a lot of changes done to PostNuke between 750 and 762 that could have introduced problems. I am very happy to hear that there are not any known issues for me to worry about.

On the Amazone 2.1 NOC page; http://noc.postnuke.…m/projects/amazone/. There is a link labled "Project Home Page" that points to a non-existant site; http://amazone.noc.postnuke.com/
My guess, from looking at other projects, is that it is a default link, created when the project is created, pointing nowhere. If that is the case, then I would recommend that the default link be changed to simply point back to the project summary page.

Just want to add my 2 cents:
- I also think this Charles etc.. might be a spammer. I was thinking that cause I also receive a lot of it from a user "floobee" with same/similar IP. I responded once to them.
If need be mod can clean this thread up.
On another note, I am very near to a release to general public of the mod.
Please bear with me as I work and study. PN is a hobby to me.
Best regards,
supa
