I installed wordpress 2.9.1 and got this on activation:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function dl() in S:\xampp\htdocs\blog\wp-content\plugins\amazon-wishlist\amazon-wishlist.php on line 92

I’d realy like to test this plugin, By!

The zip file avail on wordpress unzips to sortable-amazon-wishlist/, but the imgsquare.php? link points to src=”/wp-content/plugins/amazon-wishlist/”

This is wrong for two reasons: assumes root dir again, and wrong dir name from what the downloaded content points to.

Of course, you can fix that with the pastebin link I showed earlier that points you to the plugin dir’s url.

Looks like, since 2.6, there is also a constant WP_PLUGIN_DIR. So I was able to get this running on my site using:

define(‘SAWL_URL’, WP_PLUGIN_DIR.”/sortable-amazon-wishlist/”);

And replacing all the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] entries with SAWL_URL.

On a side note, the “Amazon Wishlist” link appears outside the div and has no class on it, which make it hard to style nicely. I added a class tag to mine.

Hope this helps.

Hi there,

I tried out your widget, but the code assumes in numerous places that the blog is always installed in DOCUMENT_ROOT (not good).

You can solve this easily enough by replacing calls to $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] with the following little code snip: http://dev.zentrack.net/pastebin/120121
