This (simple) extension could be used for your booksources response page to offer the requested books via amazon.

The extension will output the given Amazon Affiliate Code.

[edit] Installation

Create a new file in your extensions folder, named Amazon.php with the following content:

<?php
# To activate the extension, include it from your LocalSettings.php
# with: include("extensions/Amazon.php");
 
$wgExtensionFunctions[] = "wfAmazon";
 
function wfAmazon() {
    global $wgParser;
 
    $wgParser->setHook( "amazon", "renderAmazon" );
}
 
# The callback function for converting the input text to HTML output
function renderAmazon( $input ) {
    # Your Amazon Partner ID    # <<<<< EDIT HERE <<<<<
    $partner = "EDIT HERE";
 
    # Building the code
    $output = "<iframe src='http://rcm-de.amazon.de/e/cm?t=$partner&o=3&p=8&l=as1&asins=$input&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&lc1=0000ff&bc1=000000&bg1=ffffff&f=ifr' style='width:120px;height:240px;' scrolling='no' marginwidth='0' marginheight='0' frameborder='0'></iframe>";
 
    return $output;
}

Give your Amazon Affiliate Partner ID to the variable $partner ("EDIT HERE").

If you want to use other code than this, replace it, but remember to replace your partner id in the amazon code with the variable $partner and most important replace the ISBN (ASIN) with the variable $input.

Open your LocalSettings.php, and insert at the end of file:

require_once ("extensions/Amazon.php");

You can then create a page Project:Booksources (The Booksources must be replaces with the translated word of your site language; "Buchhandlungen" for example in german MediaWikis) with the following content:

{{MediaWiki:Booksourcetext}}

<amazon>MAGICNUMBER</amazon>

[edit] Usage

Afterwards the call to Special:Booksources/ISBNNUMBER will end up to the above mentioned page with same layout as the original but displaying your Amazon affilate code.
