Hello David,
Could you tell me how I can make the Featured products links into outgoing links.
I've tried changing
<a href='%PRODUCT_URL%'>%PRODUCT_NAME%</a>
into:
<a href='%BUY_URL%'>%PRODUCT_NAME%</a>
but that doesn't seem to work.
Hope you can help. Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Jaimy
Hi David,
That works perfectly, as always!
Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Jaimy
Hello Jaimy,
%BUY_URL% isn't supported as a placeholder in Featured Products / Each since Featured Products are generated from a summary SQL query; meaning that for any product that is compared (more than 1 merchant) the merchant / buy_url fields are not necessarily the cheapest merchant - which logically you would want to link to.
If your Featured Products are only ever going to be single merchant in your particular case then it's a single line modification - in pto_featured.php look for the following code at line 77:
$each = str_replace("%PRODUCT_NAME%",$row->name,$each);...and REPLACE with:
$each = str_replace("%PRODUCT_NAME%",$row->name,$each);$each = str_replace("%BUY_URL%",pto_common_buyURL($row),$each);
...and with that in place your modificaiton to the template will work fine!
Cheers,
David.
