Plugin Not Working – Displays 3 Dashes

    Hi, I downloaded your plugin and set up my affiliate codes and got it to verify on AWS Keys Validated. However, when I try to add any links it just displays 3 dashes instead of the rendered code. This is on a wordpress version installed on a Windows server.

    I have another blog on a unix or linux hosting account and I installed this plugin and it works on that one. Is this plugin not compatible with Windows WordPress?

    Please let me know how to resolve this?

    Thanks,
    Shawn

    Hi,

    Thanks for trying the plugin. Could you post a link to your site/page with the problem?

    Someone else has reported the same problem, I don’t know if they are using a Windows server though.

    Is the version of PHP different as well?

    Could you post a summary of your plugin settings?

    Thanks

    Paul

    Thanks Paul,

    shows the 3 dashes after the first paragraph.

    Php Version 5.2.6

    Not sure how you post a summary of settings:
    Localisation Options
    Default Country: United States
    Default Search String: %ARTIST% | %TITLE%
    All the rest are unchecked:

    Amazon Associate Information
    Aws keys validated: checked
    Live Data checked
    condition: use default
    prefetch: unchecked
    User affiliate ids: checked

    Cache Data Age:48

    Thank you

    Thanks,

    Can you tell me what shortcode and the content of the template (if not one of the defaults).

    Complete shot in the dark, can you try adding the following to your WordPress wp_config.php:

    ini_set('pcre.backtrack_limit', 1000000);

    Thanks,

    Paul

    [amazon template=add to cart&asin=B00DJ4H8AY]

    I tried adding the ini_set command but that didn’t seem to do anything different.

    Also, when I do a search from the posts backend under “Search Amazon for Products” it never fills in any search results data, it just shows up with 10 blank rows.

    Hi,

    Got something for you to try, can you download the Beta version of the plugin from:

    http://downloads.wp.xz.cn/plugin/amazon-link.3.1.1.zip

    I don’t think your version of PHP supports named subpatterns, so I’ve updated this version not to use them.

    Please let me know if it makes any difference and I’ll do some more testing and make it the official version.

    Cheers,

    Paul

    Excellent, thanks for getting back to me I’ll get the fix into the next official release.

    Cheers,
