		<description>&lt;p&gt;What I am trying to do now is create links within my blog posts to go to my aStore, NOT Amazon proper.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I searched some of your code and made the following changes
&lt;code&gt;
//Your code
//http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1560976144/denyersphotog-21/
return 'http://www.amazon' . $ext . '/exec/obidos/ASIN/' . $this-&#62;currentItem['amm_asin'] . '/' . $this-&#62;affiliate . '/';&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;//My changes
//http://astore.amazon.com/handyguys-20/detail/B0001X21RG
return 'http://astore.amazon' .$ext . '/' . $this-&#62;affiliate  .'/detail/' . $this-&#62;currentItem['amm_asin'] ;
&lt;/code&gt;
I haven't done much yet with my template but this shows a correct URL
&lt;code&gt;

    totalItems(); $x++ ) :?&#62;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;    &#60;strong&#62;Title: &#60;/strong&#62;    &#60;?php echo $amm-&#62;title();?&#62; &#60;br /&#62;
    &#60;strong&#62;Author: &#60;/strong&#62; &#60;?php echo $amm-&#62;author();?&#62;&#60;br /&#62;
    &#60;strong&#62;URL: &#60;/strong&#62; &#60;?php echo $amm-&#62;url();?&#62;&#60;br /&#62;

&#60;?php $amm-&#62;nextItem(); endfor; ?&#62;

&#60;?php return $content;
}
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;p&gt;?&#62;
&lt;/code&gt;
So far so good!
Now - What I would like to do is be able to easily provide just links in my blog to my astore using simple code.
&lt;strong&gt;How do I make text links to the URL?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;in WP 2.?.? I found I needed to create table manuall. The mySQL code to do so is as follows.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;
CREATE TABLE wp&lt;em&gt;amm (
  amm&lt;/em&gt;itemId bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto&lt;em&gt;increment,
  amm&lt;/em&gt;author varchar(128) NOT NULL default '',
  amm&lt;em&gt;director varchar(128) NOT NULL default '',
  amm&lt;/em&gt;title varchar(200) NOT NULL default '',
  amm&lt;em&gt;asin varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',

@soyuz&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I did the table creation manually, and things are working OK.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I didn't hack into the plugin code to see why the table creation code wasn't firing, but I would guess that it needs to be updated... I am running php 5 and sql 4.1&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have just installed AMM, but when I go into Manage/AMM
I get the following errors at the top of the page:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;WordPress database error: [Table 'joben1&lt;em&gt;wpi1.wp&lt;/em&gt;amm' doesn't exist]
SELECT DISTINCT amm&lt;em&gt;productGroup FROM wp&lt;/em&gt;amm ORDER BY amm_productGroup;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;WordPress database error: [Table 'joben1&lt;em&gt;wpi1.wp&lt;/em&gt;amm' doesn't exist]
SELECT COUNT(*) AS Num FROM wp_amm;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;WordPress database error: [Table 'joben1&lt;em&gt;wpi1.wp&lt;/em&gt;amm' doesn't exist]
SELECT amm&lt;em&gt;itemId, amm&lt;/em&gt;title, amm&lt;em&gt;dateadded, amm&lt;/em&gt;rating, amm&lt;em&gt;productGroup FROM wp&lt;/em&gt;amm ORDER BY amm_dateadded DESC LIMIT 0, 5;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please help.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Regards

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Is there a specific Role that a User needs to be set at to be able to access the AMM management interface from the Manage navigation in WordPress?  I would like to allow a User of Role "Author" to be able to manage AMM using their login.  Only the Administrator has access to Manage--&#62;AMM right now, which doesn't allow other users with lower Role levels to manage the AMM content.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have the Role Manager (v1.3) plugin installed, which allows for more granular User capability configurations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Any thoughts?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;BTW, I have AMM 1.5 successfully installed and running on a client Web site, with users enjoying the functionality greatly.  I made a few modifications to the PHP code to allow for output sorting per function by using the Brand function attribute.  This effectively allows for subcategories -- and using the Moo.fx Accordian with multiple amm_getMedia functions on a single page allows for a highly organized and usable interface (all of which degrades gracefully without JavaScript enabled).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;thanks!&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I think you have overlooked one of the features of AMM, which is the ability to recover the fullsize images from Amazon...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;http://sozu.co.uk/software/amm/function_reference.php&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Refer there and search the page for the functions  autoImage() and imageLink()&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They both allow you to stipulate a size (From 3 presets, or pixels) for the image you wish to present.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I'm redesigning my website and this plugin is brilliant. Thank you so much for the great work. I did run into some problems, since I wasn't familiar with PHP, but it's all okay now. A very powerful plugin.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have one request, though - in the next version, we should be able to specify our own image link instead of choosing from Amazon's. The images from Amazon are too small, and I'd gladly host my own images if they were at least 100px wide.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Currently, I'm specifying the path for my own image under 'userComments()' as a workaround.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But great work!&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;There is a safety check that sometimes fails on certain eclectic server configurations. Look in the file amm_output.php and scroll down to line 604.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you now comment out 604 through 607 inclusive by adding  //   to the start of each line and then upload the modified file, you should be back in business. It's to do with the image filesize command not being allowed to execute on remote images I think.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I cant seem to get the images to work and Ive tried all sort of configurations. Even just the obvious one of taking the code within amm_extras and reusing it but my browsers stalls when it tries to load the page.
Without the image call it works fine...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;any tips..? Im pulling my hair out trying to work it out. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sorry to bother.&lt;/p&gt;
