Online shopping as to be one of my vices. We all have them! My worst offense other than supplements is books. Ever since I discovered Fishpond my addiction has gotten worse. I love Fishpond because they’re Australian (and Kiwi), there shipping is fast and much better priced than Amazon. Visiting their website the other day I noticed they now have an affiliates program, so I thought to myself, it wouldn’t be too hard to develop a WordPress widget for my sidebar.
For the past few weeks I’ve been playing around with developing a widgets and redesigning Stephen’s website http://www.bigrigrecords.net . I developed a little bug for widget building . So without further ado, here’s my Fishpond.com.au widget.
This plugin is designed to show links to Fishpond.com.au using your fishpond affiliate id.
Here’s how it works
To discover your affiliate id.
Visit https://www.fishpond.com.au/affiliate_banners_text.php
Your affiliate id is the part of the address after the ref=
For example:
<a href=”http://www.fishpond.com.au/index.php?ref=2349&affiliate_banner_id=4″ target=”_blank”>Fishpond</a>
The Affliate ID is: 2349
The product ID is
for DVDs, toys and music use the UPC code near the bottom of the page, for books, stationary and electronics the EAN. You can also find a product’s ID buy examining the address of the product.
http://www.fishpond.com.au/Music/Pop/Pop_Vocal/Tribute_Albums/0050087146122/
The title and author/artist are optional .
You can choose which whether you show the cover, title and author within the widget.
Here, I’ve included some css which will help you style the plugin within your theme.
img.fishpond-cover {
padding:1px;
margin-right:1em;
clear:left;
width: 85px;
}
p.fishpond-text{
display: inline-block;
width: 90px;
margin:5px 5px;
clear:none;
float:right;
}
.fishpond-title{
font-weight: bolder;
}
.fishpond-author{
