I just polished off Version 1.1 of the Amazon Showcase Wordpress Widget. This version adds some user-requested features and also addresses some compatibility issues.

Amazon Showcase is a Wordpress Widget for showcasing items from Amazon. Simply enter the ASIN/ISBN numbers of any products and optionally enter an Associate ID for earning commissions. The product image will be displayed with a link to the product detail page on Amazon.com.

New in Version 1.1:

• cURL is now supported and used if it is enabled in the server’s PHP configuration
• Integrated the fantastic simplexml44 library, a PHP4 backport of PHP5’s SimpleXML
• Added the ability to specify the Amazon locale (US, UK, FR, etc.) from which to pull items
• Added the ability to showcase up to ten items from Amazon’s catalog in the widget

A special thanks goes out to Gavin Gough and Christian Selvaratnam who both made fantastic feature requests and were invaluable in the testing and debugging process.

Enjoy and keep the feedback coming!
