This plugin doesn't actually create the links so you'll\nstill need to do that.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Usage<\/h4>\n\n<p>Once activated, the Amazon Images plugin adds a tab to the media manager.<\/p>\n\n<p>When editing a post or page click on the media manager link and then on the Amazon\nImages tab. There will be a field to enter the ASIN of the product you'd like images\nfor. Enter the ASIN and your affiliate tag, if you haven't set the default in \nthe plugin settings, and press Get Images. Through Ajax, the plugin will connect\nto Amazon and get the links for you.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Thanks<\/h4>\n\n<p>This plugin uses the <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Exeu\/Amazon-ECS-PHP-Library\/\">Amazon-ECS-PHP-Library<\/a>\nto handle the SOAP requests.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the <code>amazon-images<\/code> folder to the <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory or install directly through WordPress.<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h4>Settings<\/h4>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Once activated there will be an Amazon Images tab under the Settings menu<\/li>\n<li>Enter your Amazon API Key and API Secret on that page<\/li>\n<li>The default affiliate tag is optional, but you will need to to include a tag when retrieving images<\/li>\n<li>Check which sized images you would like to link<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt>What do I need to get this working?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>You will need an account with Amazon for their <a href=\"https:\/\/affiliate-program.amazon.com\/gp\/advertising\/api\/detail\/main.html\">Product Advertising API<\/a>. When you register and login you will have a \npublic and secret key. You'll need to enter these on the Amazon Images plugin options page\nto be able to get image information.<\/p>\n\n<p>You will also need an affiliate tag, although if you're looking at this plugin you likely\nalready have one of these.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>Why not just save the files?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>The user agreement for the Amazon API allows you to store images for up to 24 hours. So rather\nthan storing the images on your server this plugin links directly to the image at Amazon.<\/p>\n\n<p>During the import the images are temporarily downloaded so that WordPress can work with the\nactual file to get size information. But the images are deleted immediately afterwards so they're\nnot on your server for more than a few seconds.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>So, they're hotlinked?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes.<\/p>\n\n<p>The links are retrieved using the Advertising API, so presumably you are using the images to\nlink to content on Amazon and maybe including your affiliate tag with the link.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>What about non-US affiliates?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Currently the plugin pulls images from the US Amazon site. It should work outside the US, but\nliving in the US I have no good way to test that.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>I'm getting a SOAP not available error<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Your host probably doesn't have the SOAP library for PHP installed on your server. Ask \nthem about it.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>I'm still confused!<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Visit [http:\/\/www.nutt.net\/tag\/amazon-images\/](my site) or use the WordPress forum link to the\nright if you need help.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n<!--section=changelog-->\n<h4>0.1<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>First release, nothing to change<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.2<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Oops, there was an extra page added to the Media tabset that didn't do anything.
