The Associate-O-Matic Control Panel (admin.php) is where you customize settings for your Amazon Associate store.
At the top of the control panel you will notice a few links. They are:
View Store
At any point, you can click this link to view your current store. It will open in a new window.
Clear Cache
This link allows you to clear your cached store pages. Saving your settings will also automatically clear your cache so that your changes are applied to your store pages.
Enable/Disable Descriptions
You can toggle on and off settings descriptions at any time.
Manage Backups
Whenever you save your settings, an automatic backup copy of your prior settings is saved to a file called /aom/cfg.saved[TIMESTAMP].php. Clicking this link gives you the option to either restore a previous saved settings file or to delete a previous saved settings file.
Check For Update
See if you are using the most up-to-date version of Associate-O-Matic. Clicking this link will open a new browser window.
Reset Login
Click this link to reset your control panel username and/or password. Once clicked you will be redirected to the login setup screen where you would setup a new username and password.
Logout
Securely exit your control panel.
Here are the major sections found with the Control Panel. Some are required and some are optional, but all will allow you to fine tune how Associate-O-Matic looks and behaves:
This section gives you visibility of what people are looking to buy from your store. Not available in the LITE edition - see a comparison chart of editions.
This section gives you SEO (search engine optmization) settings such as mod_rewrite and adding item names to URLs. Portions of this section are not available in the LITE edition such as mod_rewrite - see a comparison chart of editions.
