Amazon Native Shopping ads help needed

Hello,
I want to know if you can tell me how to link a parameter of a band or band and album page to the new "Native Shopping Ads" widget for Amazon affiliates.
Their FAQ page says it's very possible, but I just need to be told how to do it.

See:
https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/help/t402#search

See:
"How do I programmatically drive the search results of the ad unit?" on the amazon native shopping ads faq page for the search widget.

From that page:
"How do I programmatically drive the search results of the ad unit?
The ad code for Native Shopping Ads is a simple list of javascript variables and is highly programmable. To programmatically specify the search key phrase to be displayed: amzn_assoc_default_search_phrase = "your-search-phrase";
The search phrase could potentially be driven by any of the parameters available in your CMS or by the search term entered by the visitors to your site."


They give a very basic info, but it needs a detailed information and I couldn't find one when I searched online, such as where would I put the code, how I would link it up to a certain parameter, etc

Any help is very appreciated!

    Hello

    I'm not sure of what you're asking here... we have not developed any integration with this affiliate program for amazon.

    I understand you want to include a amazon widget inside your site, in the Music Collection pages?

    Yes.
    I guess all I really need to know is how to dynamically make the default search term pull the page title.
    I know this much so far, amzn_assoc_default_search_phrase = "your-search-phrase"; is the code i need to add to my amazon widget.
    But what exactly needs to go where "your-search-phrase" so that I can have the page title ( which is the band and album name) as the search parameter to show relevant ads in my adsense widget?

    is this code PHP or is it javascript..?
    if it's javascript then you will need to find a way to retrieve the page's title and put it in your widget I guess...

    Hi, It's Javascript. Do you know how i would find that way? I understand if this is a little off topic from your specific plugins.

    Hi,
    I did some further asking online and this is what I have so far, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34233192/how-to-pull-joomla-page-title-into-amazon-native-shopping-ads-search-field-in-wi I started that thread and got an answer.
    Would you be able to help me make this work? Maybe something is not being done right, if not, thanks anyway!
