As of 0.5.3 it now supports search on entities, What does this mean for you?

  • searching for iPhone/iPad apps individually and for software developers
  • searching specifically by artist/album/track name
  • search for movies by artists/studio
  • columns change based on the entity being searched for

As of 0.6 we now ONLY support using the PHG affiliate, which everything seems to be moving to.

Using iTalm

  1. You can use ant to build a zip of the project ant build or alternatively;
  2. Upload the itunes-affiliate-link-maker directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory on your website
  3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
  4. Goto settings to setup the plugin

Upgrading from previous versions? backup prior to running the upgrade procedure. 0.5 and up now uses the [itunes] shorttag to drop links in, you can type them or search as per normal via either editor. Also if you're upgrading, please hit the reset link button next to the iTMS Link Generator URL in the settings area if you'd like to search for Apps.

eg. [itunes url="<storeurl>" title="<alttag>"] outputs itunes link image with alt text and [itunes url="<storeurl>" title="<alttag>" content="<string>"] outputs the string in content instead of the image
