say_hello

Hi there – good day – dear Timo – i am happy to hear from you

guess that you are right and that the wanted features are not any features that are supported by the Amazon-TOS..

see – cf:

Using API to fetch Product Reviews and Star Rating.
https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=27882

Pulling Amazon Rating Stars and Rating Count with Product Advertising API
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38733978/pulling-amazon-rating-stars-and-rating-count-with-product-advertising-api

hmm – unfortunatly i think that Amazon does not support this any more. So you are right..

For the rest of the users here i will try to explain in short what is aimed: what i am after is the following:bPulling Amazon Rating Stars, Rating Count and Product reviews with Product Advertising API

What I am after is being able to pull just the stars, and the amount of reviews for a given product WITHOUT breaking the TOS of Amazon. I do not want to display all of the reviews – but a part of them would be nice….

the following text is a short version of one of the above mentioned links.

and such that are inside of the iframe that they let you use. I am able to display the iframe, but I don’t need to display that much information. So to be clear, I just want the Stars and the # of reviews (the average customer review, and # of reviews).
If you want to go the extra mile and tell me how, I’d really appreciate knowing how via PHP! If this is against the TOS, that’s all Id really need to know. If it is, I’d love it if you could provide me a link to where it says that it IS against the TOS.
Thanks for any and all help! It’s always appreciated.

I don’t know about the TOS, but to do that in php, if there is no official api, you can use simple_html_dom: http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/.

<?php
define('MAX_FILE_SIZE', 6000000); 
include './simple_html_dom.php';

//Your product amazon's url
$url = 'https://www.amazon.com/SOL-REPUBLIC-1112-31-Headphones-1-Button/dp/B00COOVLMQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=fiona-hardware&ie=UTF8&qid=1470197678&sr=8-1&keywords=sol+republic';

$html = file_get_html($url);
$review_section = $html->find('#averageCustomerReviews',0);
$stars = $review_section->find('#reviewStarsLinkedCustomerReviews',0)->plaintext;
preg_match('/\d+\.{0,1}\d*/',$stars,$match);
echo "Stars: ".$match[0]; //Shoud be stars
echo "<br />";
$reviews = $review_section->find('#acrCustomerReviewText',0)->plaintext;
preg_match('/\d+/',$reviews,$match);
echo "Reviews: ".$match[0] //Shoud be reviews number

dear Tima – i am happy to hear from you.
i love to hear from you – and i am happy about and and all ideas and sharing of insights and knowledge

to sume it up: timo – you regard all the ways and methods to fetch reviews as against the TOS – so i guess that there is no appropiate way to do just a little fetch of that kind of information – with a So called “quick and dirty – solution”? ?!

you think that all these trials are nasty and not appropiate!?

love to hear form you.

many many thanks for your great plugin and the continued and sustainable development…

regards

hello dear all

just want to inform you about what has happened so far. The errors that were reportet in the above messages are gone – due to some more setups on the server. Now we do not have any errors related to openbase_dir configuration-issues.

Again: what is aimed – what i am going to achieve: i am currently working on a page – ( which is beta-beta ) see http://www.job-starter.com For front-end images, we have to add them in WordPress Admin > Appearance > Edit CSS.

i have three postings on the site: eg. post-ids:
.post-256 …
.post-258 …
.post-260 …

Let us have a closer look at the Posting 256 – it has the post-id (see more here .post-256 …)we have the following – in the code we can see this: http://prntscr.com/r50bhr – cf

Note: the image was added not as image but as background. The height of this element is determined by .panel-image-prop – padding value.
By the way: However possible is, that the image will not have valid quality when we change this in CSS. We could / should do this in php file using thumbnail image size. However if we want to do individual CSS for each post, there an advice here could be like been seen here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-style-each-wordpress-post-differently/

What is aimed: i need a CSS-rule that can be applied only to only post number eg to the postid-256 only.

regarding the customization: Here we have the wanted opposite behaviour: https://www.karavadra.net/reduce-height-single-post-page-featured-images-twenty-seventeen-theme/
See that the images on this page and at this example all have differnt heights: the great and very well written tutorial – here at Bharat Kardavara has managed it to apply different heights to the different images. Thats just great.

again, what is aimed: i need a CSS-rule that can be applied only to only post number eg to the postid 256 only.

But this is not the case – my problem is that i cannot achieve the change of the height of only one featured image in other words – every time i do some changes _ then all the images are changing Here we have the opposite behaviour: https://www.karavadra.net/reduce-height-single-post-page-featured-images-twenty-seventeen-theme/

But to be frank – we have to inspect the regarding elements in the browser and subsequently we have to find the correct applicable class-name for those images in question. In the tutorial it is .”single-featured-image-header img”. In my theme (it is the twentyseventeen) it might be different.

question: can we even use CSS :first-of-type or :last-of-type pseudo-classes, Do we even be able to use greater than ( > ) CSS selector. Well i need to check the uses and apply then.

WordPress by default adds an unique class to each single post in the body tag. So we can take advantage of it. I guess that we have to Inspect the classes in the body tag
and there we will find postid-NUMBER. So for given posts, the classes there will be postid-256, postid-258, postid-260 respectively.

Example: Now i think that we can adjust CSS rule something similar to:

.postid-256 .single-featured-image-header img {
/* display: block; */
/* margin: auto; */
height: 33vh;
object-fit: cover;
}

Assumtion: Then the rule will apply only to postid-number 256 only.
But wait:it looks like that if we change with postid -256 then we apply the changes for all and every image.

Then the rule will apply only to post number 256 only.
But this is not the case – my problem is: i cannot achieve the change of the height of only one featured image – every time i do some changes, then all the images are changing. Here we have the opposite behaviour: https://www.karavadra.net/reduce-height-single-post-page-featured-images-twenty-seventeen-theme/

see below the full css code – i guess that i have mixed it up with some mess…

can we even use CSS :first-of-type or :last-of-type pseudo-classes: Do we even be able to use greater than ( > ) CSS selector.

Now you can adjust CSS rule something similar to:

.postid-256 .single-featured-image-header img {

love to hear from you

hello again,

see the image here;

and here a description that fits most: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/post-page-not-showing-featured-image/

question: I have installed the theme but on post page, none of the post showing the featured images, just showing on the home page…
Can anyone help to resolve this problem so post page can also show the related featured image?

answer: I managed to bodge it by adding this to (my child theme’s) single.php

<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { // check if the post has a Post Thumbnail assigned to it.
the_post_thumbnail( 'full' );
}
?>
(Insert after <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>)
<img src="wherever" />

and a link: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-add-featured-image-or-post-thumbnails-in-wordpress/

note: i did not have applied the code to a child-theme yet.

but i deactivated all the plugins – step by step. – without any success.
note: i have upgreaded the server from PHP-Version 5.6 to Version 7.2xy

at the moment i struggle with some issues on the page:

Warning: ini_set(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp/wp-errors.log) is not within the allowed path(s): (/sites) in /sites/www.my-site.com/wp-includes/load.php on line 345

condluding question: is it possible that this can cause the issues?!? with the featured image!?

look forward to hear from you

regards

hello and good day Roland, dear developer,

first of all: i am a big big fan of the participants database. At the moment i struggle with some behaviour of the website. Well – after the upgrade of the php-version from .5.6 to 7.4.2 i get errors.

There has been a critical error on the website.

and according the error in the message shown above i can conclude:

Ummm… for the first part, the answer is right there in the error message. In the plugin “participants-database”
there is a file called “PDb_Base.php” in the directory “classes”.
On line 1844 you will probably see a line that is doing an operation on a string variable and using array syntax for it. This is deprecated in PHP 7.4. 11

For instance we can no longer do something like…

$string = "foo";

echo $string[0];  // This use to echo out "f" but not anymore

$string = "bar";

echo $string{1}; // This use to echo out "a" but not anymore

furthermore we can say: Going from PHP 5 straight to 7.4 is a huge jump… so i have to test thoroughly!

should i do some extra-thoings with the participants-database?

love to hear from you

hi there good day dear Jan,

many many thanks for the moderation and the help.

guess that it is because of a CSS rule setting the height to a fixed value.
In other words – i guess that it’s more than just only the size of the featured image height,

We can say that this is because of the scaling of the image up to such and such a value.

well i need to fix this.

hello again – good evening dear experts,

well i am currently ironing out what is missing on my page – which is truely running in BETA-Beta mode.

see: http://www.job-starter.com –

well

i have set the featured image – but this was obviously tooo big and it was way too huge on my home page; I have a feature image on each page. But on the home page, the logo is huge and while on the rest it is fine.

i have had a closer look at different pages of the forums – to find out what my problem is?

first of all: The panel background images are set to “cover” the open area with any photo or graphic with the following default CSS code from the theme:

.panel-image {
    background-position: center center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    -webkit-background-size: cover;
    background-size: cover;
    position: relative;
}

and here what is very important: Basically any featured image we will apply to the page will be stretched to cover the area which is why the logo is oversized. If we are still wanting to use the logo in that spot, then we need to add some custom CSS to the Additional CSS tab in the customizer to target that specific post featured image.

Example: if the ID of our page there is 390, so it would have to be:

.post-390 .panel-image {
    background-size: auto;
}

we may also adjust the open space as well by adding a height such as:

height: 40vh;

Then our custom CSS would be something like:

@media screen and (min-width: 48em) {
   .post-390 .panel-image {height: 40vh;}
}

all together our CSS would be:

.post-390 .panel-image {
    background-size: auto;
}
@media screen and (min-width: 48em) {
   .post-390 .panel-image {height: 40vh;}
}

i did so – and it helped alot. At the moment i still struggle why i have one image (section) showing up two times.

the posting at the top it is apprearing twice – i du not know why this is so!?

this post: TAKE YOUR CHANGE

is appearing two times.

at the moment i do not know why this is so?!
