Amazon Products Feed Bridge component for Joomla

APF Bridge is a Joomla component that integrates MrRat's Amazon Products Feed (APF) into Joomla's page structure

MrRat's Amazon Products Feed is the leading script that builds a store utilising Amazon's Web Services / E-commerce Services (AWS/ECS). MrRat's Amazon Products Feed (APF) is Open Source Sofware and Free. APF creates a fully customisable template driven store for your site, with extensive search feautes, a shopping cart, multiple locales (all 6 of amazon's locales .uk, .us, .ca, .fr, .de , .jp). APF is also multilingual.

The component installs into Joomla and passes arguments to an ALREADY INSTALLED APF4 script, capturing the output of the script and displaying it within Joomla. The links within the captured html are rewritten to point to the Joomla component, rather than to APF. The bridge component correctly passes cookies backwards and forwards between the standalone APF script and the visitor's browser - so all functions including the 'shopping cart' work correctly.

APF is NOT distributed with this component - it is better that you go to MrRat's site, download and install the script yourself and become familiar with APF as a standalone script before integrating it into your Joomla installation.

Fairly comprehensive directions are provided, although you will need some knowledge of installing scripts. An ability to follow instructions carefully is also useful - the procedure to bridge stand-alone applications is never easy.
