Found and fixed a bug that prevented the same product from being used twice on a page.  Meh - I created an index using the most practical data element, but not the most logical.

At least I found it and it didn't come in as a bug report!

Because 100% of my support requests have turned out to be users who do not have API access (because they haven't applied or do not qualify), I have made the following changes to the plugin:

  1. The API key fields are required
  2. Missing or invalid API keys return an alert across the top of the page explaining what's missing and/or the API errors returned by Amazon
