Description Chris Cormack 2010-05-21 01:27:29 UTC


---- Reported by matted-34813@mypacks.net 2010-05-06 15:04:52 ----

The enhanced content configuration provides one to configure an Amazon Associate Id.  If one would like to add "More Searches" html links where they usually specify, {TITLE} or {AUTHOR}, it would be good to have {AMAZONASSOCID} available as well, so any latter id change in the configuration will be reflected appropriately.  Then one can code their link with &tag={AMAZONASSOCID}.

------------------------------------------------
Beyond the scope of this bug request:

Note: This sort of thing might be needed for other 3rd party integrations/mashups.

Note: If upon consideration that it would be useful to expose many other configuration parameters, one might explore adding an option to the preferences editor (and tables/columns), to "expose" the value field as some supplied ID (i.e. {SUPPLIEDID} ). If one think this use case may be common.  I haven't a good enough understanding of the templating system to warrant this idea. A discussion in the mailing list would be needed.

Please: Notify the person documenting 3.2 so the appropriate section can be added.
