I've poured over the forums and found the mods to allow "searchExternal" and "pricesExternal" and "featuredExternal" but what I'd really like to do is simply enter a keyword into a wordpress post and have the actual product result page appear (ideally with some related products underneath but not necessary). This would NOT be a search, I would be telling the database exactly what to return, so no search result pages are needed. Visitors would go straight to the stores as they do now from products.php pages.
I have Price Tapestry running will standalone (with separate database) but the number of features built into wordpress (ie:rss, permalinks, comment system, plugins etc) are also required and it would be hard to reproduce them all otherwise.
Options:
#1 - remove the calls for headers and footers and menus from products.php and call the resulting template free page via iframe into desired posts. Not ideal.
#2 - write a separate page of code to query the database and pull results onto a page outside this aplication. Better but not ideal.
#3 ??
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
Hi there,
This is what the full external.php will do for you!
If you could please implement pricesExternal.php so that you are just getting a prices table related to your WordPress post content (so you will be providing the exact product name within $_GET["q"] in your calling code), and then email me a copy of the calling code that you have derived, and then I'll send you the full external.php together with the calling code required for that version...
Cheers,
David.
