Main Product name & Product Mapping

Submitted by Klyde on Wed, 2008-10-22 22:19 in

Hello,

i'd like to know if there is a way to keep intact the product name when I use Product Mapping?
For many product, the merchants adds some interessting informations to the product name (brand, year etc...) but if I use product Mapping all this information are erased by the main product name I chose.

It there a way to use Product Mapping and to let products name intact to display theme in the price list for exemple?

Hello Kylde;

Yes - Product Mapping is applied after the user filters are applied; so what you could do is append the original product name to the beginning (or end of the description); using either a Text Before or Text After filter on the description field. In the text box on the filter configuration page, you can use a placeholder (field name wrapped in %) to bring in the value of the product name field. So, if the product name field is called PRODUCTNAME, then you could use the following text in a Text Before filter:

"%PRODUCTNAME% "

(without the quotes). Notice the extra SPACE on the end - this is so that it doesn't touch right up against the start of the description. If you use Text After instead, remember to add a space at the front!

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
David.
