ASM2 was introduced before Amazon.com made AWS available for both CA (Canada) and FR (France) locales. It has since change and the integration of these locales into ASM2 will be part of the next upgrade to be made available soon from Freekrai.net.

In the meantime however, we came up with our own patch that enables us now to set up stores for both Amazon.CA and Amazon.FR. The patch includes working on the script/aws4class.php file, and the creation of both complementary script/nodes/*.inc files.

Working example

To get a working example of what we did. edit the script/aws4class.php and add the following codes to the section indicated:

Add these to the function aws section :

} else if ($this->locale == "ca") {
	$this->amazon_site = "amazon.ca";
	$this->amazon_url = "http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/redirect-home?site=home&tag=$MY_variables{associate_id}&SubscriptionId=$MY_variables{subscription_id}";
	$this->money_symbol = "CDN$ ";
	$this->store_to_browse = $this->browse($this->locale);//array( "Books" => "Books", "Music" => "Music", "DVD" => "DVD", "VHS" => "VHS", "Software" => "Software", "SoftwareVideoGames" => "SoftwareVideoGames");

} else if ($this->locale == "fr") {
	$this->amazon_site = "amazon.fr";
	$this->amazon_url = "http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/redirect-home?site=home&tag=$MY_variables{associate_id}&SubscriptionId=$MY_variables{subscription_id}";
	$this->money_symbol = "EUR ";
	$this->store_to_browse = $this->browse($this->locale);//array( "Tous les produits" => "Blended", "Livres" => "Books", "Livres en anglais" => "ForeignBooks", "Musique" => "Music", "Clasique" => "Classical", "DVD" => "DVD", "Vidéo" => "VHS", "Jeux vidéo" => "SoftwareVideoGames",);

Add these to the function browse($locale) section :

} else if ($locale == "ca") { include("nodes/ca_browse.inc"); } else if ($locale == "fr") { include("nodes/fr_browse.inc");

And these to the function nodes($idx) section :

} else if ($this->locale == "ca") { include("nodes/ca.inc"); } else if ($this->locale == "fr") { include("nodes/fr.inc");

Next is to create
the script/nodes/ca.inc and script/nodes/ca_browse.inc files for the CA locale,
and,
the script/nodes/fr.inc and the script/nodes/fr_browse.inc files for the FR Locale.

The files are here.
