Not sure if this is a problem with the Amazon Module or the Amazon Store module, so I am posting here. I apologize ahead of time if this is the incorrect place to post.

I have installed both the Amazon Module and the Amazon Store module. When I fill out the Settings for the Amazon API, and go to my Amazon Store page, it works fine (Before making any changes to the Amazon Store Settings). As soon as I click on Save for the Amazon Store Settings, and I go back to my store page, Nothing Appears.

If I change the Store setting to try and use BrowseNodes... nothing comes up on my store page.

I am trying to set up an apparel and show store, and when I try and use any of the nodes under apparel, i get nothing to come up on my store page. I have tried any number of Nodes under apparel and nothing will come up. However, if I change it to Books or something other than apparel, the node will come up in my store.

I do get two errors in my log file, one for Amazon (which Comes First) and one for Amazon Store. (They are attached)
My settings page for the Amazon Store Page Are Attached as well.

I have Tried this on Two different drupal installations (both 6.16) and with PHP5+ and both are having the same problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I can provide any other information about the installation please let me know.

Title: Problem with Amazon Module Install and Amazon Store Module » Apparel searches on the Amazon API always time out.
Status: Active » Closed (won't fix)

Apparel searches on the Amazon API always time out. There's nothing I know of that can be done about this, since it's on Amazon's side. You'll find the error messages in the error log (admin/report/dblog).

If you want to take this up with Amazon I'm certainly up for it.

Hi Randy-

I guess I can live with that until Amazon fixes it. Any Idea on why when I first install the Amazon store module and go to my Store page, it works fine and will bring up the default search, but as soon as I go into the settings for the Amazon Store, and click save, nothing will them come up on my Store Page? When I first go into the settings, there is nothing listed (the dropdowns are empty) under the following two settings:
- Default search index selection on amazon_store page:
- Search index used to populate items on page with no keywords:

When I click on Save Settings, it populates those two fields, and then nothing comes up.

It sounds like are probably missing some files from the install. Please uninstall the module using admin/build/modules, then delete the files, then install the dev release (just because it's more recent and has no reported issues). Then reinstall. You'll have to put in your AWS id again and such, but it will give you a clean start.

As far as using browsenodes, or a list of items, that should work for you. It's just Apparel searches that are problematic. See http://drupal.org/node/708668#comment-2597216 for information about browsenodes.

Your report would be better if you'd attach screenshots of the problem.

Thanks,
-Randy

Marking the original issue as won't fix.

I'm willing to help you with whatever problem you're describing here. As I said, don't use Apparel, and to fix the other things do a complete reinstall with the instructions above.

I actually found a workaround for this while working on the D7 port. Magic in what ResponseGroups are chosen in the request. This should be backported to the D6 version.

Need to get this fixed (and remember how) since it was fixed for 7

Trying to solve this in #735464: Standardize processing of EditorialReview. It seems that the issue is having the "wrong" parameters passed to Amazon for the ResponseGroups. At least the ResponseGroup parameter is significantly pared down in the D7 version.

Sadly, not fixed. In fact, D7 has the same problem at this point.

I thought I had this figured out and nailed, but now I think even the D7 version fails.

If you have a knack with code and want to experiment, just search in the module file for 'Apparel' and experiment with the ResponseGroup options it puts in when doing an Apparel search. That's how it (I thought) got better in D7, fiddling with that list.

Thanks,
-Randy
