Hello Alex,
The code I pasted above is the standard Amazon code. This is nice because it allows the user to put in code from Amazon and display the image to the product and even text with the image. This makes for a nice way to promote a product and amazon is huge. Ideally we would be able to utilize amazon in some way. I suppose this could turn into a feature update because most of their images seem to be the same size for the most part. So, it could be cool to have a tab for amazon products. But, event the “HTML” field doesn’t allow for the HTML. If you look at the original post it has a nice image that is linked to the product using HTML and it’s an affiliate link so if someone purchases that I make a little. It displays perfectly here but it doesn’t work on the site when I paste it into the description, at least from the front end. I don’t recall exactly how I made that one listing work, it was a while back. And, I may have done that from the backend somehow or something. But, ideally it would be easy, copy and paste, and wahlah it works.
If it’s a security vulnerability then isn’t it one here as well, yet it works here. And, the couldn’t the video field be exploited?
Using a link field could work I suppose, but it would be hard to make it really work. Because it would just be an amazon link, it wouldn’t be titled or clear as to what the link is to and this would have to be explained somewhere away from the link, so that doesn’t really work. Amazon does offer a simple link option, which is what I’m using for the one listing, but that’s just not very ideal. However, it’s probably fine enough to just suggest listers add a link in their description and not use the html…
