Amazon.com Infoboxes[edit]

You mentioned, that I should place the following code at the end of my skin.php. But I can't find the </body> tag at the bottom of my skin.php. Where should I place the following code?:

<!-- *************************  BEGIN AMAZON ENHANCED LINK SCRIPT ****************** -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/s/link-enhancer?tag=tsickist-20&o=1">
</script>
<noscript>
    <img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/s/noscript?tag=tsickist-20" alt="" />
<!-- *************************  END AMAZON ENHANCED LINK SCRIPT ****************** -->

If your using the default skin the file it would be monobook.php, sorry for the confusion and the late reply.

Also, don't forget to change the tag ("tsickist-20") to your own Amazon Associate tag.--GarethLewis 05:13, 20 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Trying to use in v1.14[edit]

Has anyone tried to use this extension in v1.14? I just installed the files and added the lines to localsettings.php, but when I tested by inserting {{#ASIN:978-0470432877}} on a page nothing was displayed. I left $wgalAWSAccessKey = '15288N3JKKNZY5T1DGR2'; and $wgalSharePercent = '3'; as they were set but inserted my own AssociatesTag.. Do I need to do anything else, or does this extension not work on v1.14? --Jake4d 03:21, 6 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Google Code Shutting Down[edit]

Hello, As you are likely aware, Google is shutting down their Google Code service in January of 2016. This extension appears to house its code with Google Code and is at risk to creating broken links and confusion of users in the near future.

I’m helping to let folks know about this coming update and provide some helpful links to make this migration easy. I hope you’ll take a moment and migrate your extension to a new hosting solution.

For extensions that have a compatible license, you can request developer access to the MediaWiki source repositories for extensions and get a new repository created for you. Alternatively, you may also export your code to other popular repositories such as Github and Bitbucket. Google has provided tools to help with this migration.
