i think we must have a separate thread that contains some of the changes or improvements that amazon made.
since Chris worked on the older version from MrRat and MrRat did not change the default TotalPages number, the user can do this manually:
open the apf_main.pm file and go to line 409.
change it from
| Code: | | if ($AWS_variables{TotalPages} > 250) |
to read
| Code: | | if ($AWS_variables{TotalPages} > 400) |
... more to follow probably ...

i still have this code that came from Dean some long long time ago. it resides below line 1397 of the new apf_main.pm file:
| Code: | ## === Dean's attempt at conditional content. ===
$temp_result =~ s/(\[\[(\w+)\]\]([^\[\]]*)\[\[\/\2\]\])/
my $captured_text = $1;
my $testvar = $2;
my $conditional_contents = $3;
my $res;
# this didn't work : if (exists $AWS_variables{$testvar} || exists $MY_variables{$testvar} || exists $language_text{$testvar}){
if ($AWS_variables{$testvar} || $MY_variables{$testvar} || $language_text{$testvar}){
$res = $conditional_contents;
} else {
$res = "";
}
$res;/ge;
## === End of Dean's attempt at conditional content |

there was a string replace recommended a short while ago on the manufacturer issue related to line 601 of the apf_main.pm script under sub my_artists. MrRat recommended the following string replacements:
| Code: | #(my $search_manufacturer_string = $AWS_variables{Manufacturer}) =~ s/ /+/g;
#(my $search_manufacturer_string = $AWS_variables{Manufacturer}) =~ s/\./ /g;
(my $search_manufacturer_string = $AWS_variables{Manufacturer}) =~ s/\./\%2E/g;
|
(the first line is the original, the second line was MrRat's first recommendation, the third line was his further recommendation which i now use). ...

a small beauty correction, in the page.template add valign="top" to the td element just before %%products_html%%. if for instance your shopping cart is empty and you got this menu on the left side, you won't see the message 'cart is empty' unless you scroll down.  ...

Thanks for the bits. I was saddened to see the AFPmods site disappear that had a lot of great modifications.
