When clicking on the amazon link I get presented with the amazon website as one would expect. I thought it was obvious to land on a page relative to the listing in esyndicat. For instance clicking on the amazon link in a listing about bikes should land you on the amazon page with books about bikes.
Does that make sense!? Is there anyone out there that has the solution to this little problem!
Cheers:)

Hello kitesurfer,
You can try something like this:
***Open templates/yourTemplate/link-display.tpl and find code***

{if $config.amazon_link}
| <a href="http://partner.alexa.com/amzn/redirect_to_detail?amzn_id=esyndicatfree-20&amp;url={$link.url}">{$lang.view_amazon}</a>
{/if}

***Replace with***

{if $config.amazon_link}
| <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_/002-7764314-2635261?initialSearch=1&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords={$link.url}&Go.x=0&Go.y=0&Go=Go">{$lang.view_amazon}</a>
{/if}

***Save***

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the quick reply...and sorry for my late reply.
Have been flat out with other stuff!
Anyway have tried this and it works.
Would it be possible to use the category or subcategory to pass on as a search in Amazon instead of the url.
Also, were do I put my Affiliate ID in this new configuration!
Cheers
Rudy
