@Shawn, take a look at the “Post Page Associator” plugin. It can be used to put excerpts from different posts on the same page.

By using that plugin, you MIGHT be able to use different posts to display different product details on the same page. I think there is another one that includes content from different posts on the same page. It may work if this plugin doesn’t. My thinking is that the posts will pull the details for the product in their own post. Then the two won’t be confused on the same page.

No gurantees, but that is the direction I would start in. Keeping them separately code wise (post wise) but having the content shown on the same page container.

Is there a way to modify or change the system error messages that will be displayed where we put the %%MSG%% tags?

Thanks,
Chad

It would be great to have the ability to have two different products display on one page using the merge tag %%PRODUCT_DETAILS_%% especially now with the use of product chaining. I’ve been able to get one to display but not two on the same page.

My apologies Ravi. It was actually %%LAST_NAME%% that I was referring to. FULL_NAME was just something I tried.

So, %%FIRST_NAME%% works fine, but %%LAST_NAME%% isn’t working.

Josh,

Take a look at the DAP-WP-LiveLinks.php file. That has the code for converting merge tags in normal, non-WP php code.

Unfortunately, we are unable to support custom PHP coding at this time. You will have to figure that out from the above file.

Josh,

There is no such tag as %%FULL_NAME%% in DAP. You should use %%FIRST_NAME%% %%LAST_NAME%% if you want the full name.

Actually, it looks like the problem is that %%FULL_NAME%% isn’t working. It WILL render multiple merge tags.

When I try to use multiple merge tags in a WP post, the first tag renders correctly but the second one does not. For instance,

%%FIRST_NAME%% %%LAST_NAME%%

Yields:

Josh %%LAST_NAME%%

Ravi, I have a plugin that will run PHP code for me.

What’s the proper syntax to execute these marge tags in PHP code?
