wordpress & PT

Hi David

Total newbie here. First of all I would like to say thank you for the excellent script and support, searching through the forums I can see the support and help you've given to everybody is amazing.

Couple of things I need your help on:

1. I've integrated my wordpress site with PT using searchExternal.php and it's working fine. I would now like to have min/max price for some search queries e.g. display chairs priced between £200 and £400.

To achieve the above do I need the min/max mod mentioned here: http://www.pricetapestry.com/node/603 and if so could you please send that to me and how do I use it.

At the moment this is what I'm using in my wordpress posts/pages:

<?php
  $common_baseHREF 
"http://www.mysite.co.uk/shop/";
  
$common_path "/home/sites/mysite.co.uk/public_html/shop/";
  
$_GET["q"] = "chair";
  require(
$common_path."searchExternal.php");
?>

2. How do I display the featured items on a wordpress post/page.

3. Is it possible to have more than one set of featured items and display those on wordpress pages.

Thanks

Hello Alan,

Welcome to the forum and thank you for your comments!

I need to update searchExternal.php and pricesExternal.php in line with the latest distribution. They still work (as you have discovered), but in particular, I will modify searchExternal.php to support minPrice and maxPrice parameters.

I will also post a featuredExternal.php, and you can certainly make this support different featured sections based on the sort of modification described in this thread:

http://www.pricetapestry.com/node/3243

As this feature is a popular request, I will incorporate it into featuredExternal.php so that it is compatible with or without a specified section.

I'll publish these tomorrow - and I'll update this thread once they're online...

All the best!

Cheers,
David.

Hi Alan,

I've posted updated external scripts here...

searchExternal.php now supports minPrice and maxPrice; and there is a new featuredExternal.php script supporting different sections as discussed...

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
David.
