Templates¶
Global short URLs¶
This option activates the use of short format Amazon shop page URLs globally. You can select from different URL formats with the next option “Short URL format”.
Short URL format¶
Here you can select which shop page short URL format you prefer to use. The options are:
ASA2 knows the short URL format for every country store and will use the right top level domain (not only .com) depending on the product’s country code.
Default template language¶
Default language to be used for all templates, regardless of which country the products originate from or link to.
Hide managed in templates section¶
If enabled, managed templates will not be displayed in the templates admin section.
Display errors for admin¶
Display template rendering errors on front-end when logged in as administrator.
Mobile templates¶
ASA2 can use dedicated templates on mobile devices. If you want to use that feature, you have to activate this option. Then you can define a custom mobile template with option “mobile_tpl” like so:
[asa2 tpl="my_desktop_template" mobile_tpl="my_template_for_smartphones"]ASIN[/asa2]
Load jQuery¶
If your theme does not use jQuery, some of the features of ASA2’s Managed Templates will not work, like the product image slideshow and the image preview. By activating this option, ASA2 will worry about loading jQuery in the front-end.
Disable rating stars¶
Since the Amazon API does not support delivery of total and average reviews values any more, ASA2 grabs those values from the product reviews page. This may conflict with the Amazon Associates Program Operating Agreement. But since this feature was introduced with ASA 1 several years ago, no single case of complaint has been reported to the creator of ASA. If you are unsure and want to be on the safe side, check this option.
Note
Clear all caches after you have set this option.
Use official cart buttons¶
If you check this option, the buttons provided by Amazon on this page will be used in all managed templates.
Cart button image¶
If you use the official cart buttons option (see above), with this option you can select which image to use.
Default single image template¶
With this option, you can select the template to use as default to render shortcode [asa2_img] when no custom template is set.
Price disclaimer default timestamp format¶
The default format for the timestamp displayed in price disclaimer (representing the last product data update). If set, this will overwrite the value “last_update_format”, which can be set individually for each template. Leave this empty to use the individual values again. Supports PHP date function format. Example: D, d M Y H:i:s
Support shortcodes¶
Activate this option, if you want to support shortcodes of other plugins inside ASA2 templates.
Prepare for HTTPS¶
By default, all product images get loaded via http. If your site is accessible via https only, you should activate this option and ASA2 will prepare all product images URLs for https.
Additionally all outgoing links like to the shop or reviews page will be prepared to use https.
Note
Reset all caches after you have activated this option, because the old http:// URLs might still be cached.
Collection widget class¶
Enter a custom CSS class name in this text field which should be used for the outer collection widget container. Default is “asa2_widget_collection” which may get blocked by AdBlockers.
Advanced rating stars¶
Check this option to displays nicer rating stars for placeholder {{ CustomerReviewsImgTag }}. This will use CSS image sprite technology and is recommended if you have many products on your pages because it will load faster than the common rating stars images.
