I've gotten this far

6. Go to administer > content > configure > default workflow and put a check
in the "amazon item" column for each node type that will accept Amazon
products

but I only have a column entitled "0" on the end - and it doesn't have any tick boxes.

I am using Drupal 4.5.2, and
// $Id: amazon_items.module,v 1.1 2005/01/26 21:45:57 slower Exp $

Any ideas? Thanks

(PS Will it deduce an ASIN from an ISBN?)

Can you first try getting and using the latest version of amazon_items from CVS? I haven't committed a lot of minor changes to 4.5 yet.

Oh -- yes, Amazon uses ISBNs *as* ASINs.

I have installed this module, and have not been able to get this to work. I've followed all the steps in the install.txt file (including those that weren't list, like copying the amazon_items folder with the .css file in to the server).

I get the "Related items from Amazon.com" box on the pages that I've selected to display, however when I enter an ISBN (ASIN), I get the following error:

"No records matched that Asin."

I've left the setting for the server as the default: xml.amazon.com

I've entered the ISBN with the dashes and without.

Am I missing something obvious?

I'm getting the same ASIN error on 4.6. Pray tell... am I too missing something obvious?

With Drupal 4.6.2 and CVS Amazon_Items I get a workflow checkbox with nothing next to it. I tick it and can then create content and enter an ASIN however I keep getting:

"No records matched that Asin."

Hello, I am the new maintainer of this module.

Amazon Items 4.6.0 that I released was working fine on my Drupal 4.6 test server. However, I have found exactly the same errors you describe on my production site portal.wikinerds.org, both the workflow problem and the no asin found problem.

This means that, just like you, I am unable at the moment to correctly advertise amazon items through my site. And as the new maintainer, I work on this problem and I want to solve it as soon as possible.

Unfortunately as I work on it in my spare time, which is very limited, a new version may take some time to be completed. More information and tests about the problem, as well as any other general help, is much appreciated.

Amazon Items 4.6.0 still works ok on my test server with Drupal 4.6.0 (fresh install, no upgrade from 4.5). It is with 4.6.2 (upgrade from 4.5, not fresh install) and other modules that it seems to stop working.
