I guess not many here using Mr. Rat's Amazon script, but I just updated from the "very" old version to the latest one, and thought it might help the people here who are using the older version of script, if any...It was much easier to update than I thought.
It used to be all templates in the templates folder, but the latest version uses different folders, for ex:
The Older: item_1.template, item_2.template, page_1.template, page_2.template, products_1.template, products_2.template, etc, etc,.
The Latest: Just make a folder associate with; if you were using the item_1.template for the side bar, make folder for the side bar and rename:
item_1.template to item.template and put it in the side bar folder and link to it:
amazon.cgi?Operation=ItemSearch&SearchIndex=Books&Keywords=key+word&templates=sidebar&link_templates=fullpage&max_results=5
You can still use the same variables in the templates, but the display variables are totally different:
input_templates --> templates=sidebar
input_link_templates --> link_templates=fullpage
input_max=5 --> max_results=5
