The backend of the mod now works for me, many thanks to you & Spiggy.
Fantastic plugin, couple of things though:
1. I don't see any evidence of the referal account (mixbay-20) in the Amazon bookstore after their site is opened. Is it being transmitted in some other code? This also happens from your site too, I can't see your referal code.
2 When you click on a books image on the page opened on my site a new window opens but the <a href> sends the website home.
Thanks

Amazon's Web Services constructs a referer from the post command (buy or wishlist button) on the product info page. This does a pretty good job of hiding the Amazon Associates ID in the URL.
If you want to make sure that the ID is being sent do a view source on the Product Information page and look for the line:
Hi Victor,.
I've checked the source and I still can't see any evidence of the referer which I entered in the control panel.
It could be I don't know what I'm looking for.
Does it show up in your html?

if you look at the source of the page where the 'Buy from Amazon' is you'll see that when you click that link, it submits a bunch of hidden form values.. one of them being your associate id. this does not have to show up in the amazon page code. as far as i understand.. it can be submitted in other ways too.

The value should be your Amazon Associates ID.
In theory, if it is showing up in the Administration pages, then it should be in the above tag. If not let me know, and I/we'll try and figure it out.
Thanks,
