Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.I am both new to Drupal and Amazon Web Services, so please forgive my basic questions.
I'm developing a site which will feature a plethora of products, and I want to find an efficient way to add these products to my site, each product being given its own page. To clarify, I don't just want to use the Amazon Module to add content to any given page, but to give me the information I need when creating any given new page.
For example, when I want to add the book "Catch 22" to my website, I want to be able to type the ISBN, click something like "create page", and suddenly have a page which shows the book "Catch 22".
To what extent may I use the Amazon module/API to accomplish this?

yesct commentedI'm interested too:
Is there a list somewhere with usage examples?
Like: what can be done with this module?

This is for entering the asin in the node and will render the Product image, title and price in the node. Product description and user rating are not rendered by default, but the modul stores this data also, perhaps you could get them rendered with some themplate modification.

wigwam jones commentedAbout 90% of that was gibberish to me. The original request was for an example. I'd like an example too, please. Just an example. No l33t speak, please. Just an example.

conniec commentedHere's how I do it:
Make a new content type. Add a field. Make sure the field is Amazon item. (which is your Amazon CCK)
Create content using the new content type. Fill in the ISBN/ASIN in the Amazon item field. It must be a 10 digit ISBNASIN I think.
Contemplate is a bit contrary to use with the Amazon CCK. I would recommend playing with it before you really decide to use it with Amazon CCK.
Hope that helps.
