eStore Shortcodes

[drwinn]

Two Questions:

What is the dimension of the image box in the shortcodes. My image gets chopped off.

Is there a way to get a shortcode without an image box so I can display a shortcode like the following:

BookStore

Here’s a demo page.

Demo Story 12.18.11

It’s using:

[wp_eStore_fancy1_no_thumbnail id=9]

[wp_eStore_fancy1_no_thumbnail id=7]

How can I get this to appear without the highlight God’s EPIC Adventure in the first and without the price and put a button for More Details instead of the hyperlink.

Thanks

Hi,

Instead of using one of the fancy shortcodes, why don’t you simply display each of your products as blog post listings with a thumbnail image and excerpt?

Then if someone wants to find out more they can click on the “read more” link (or the image) which will take them to the post page (which will be where you have your product’s add to cart or buy now button).

In the post page you can simply use a shortcode which will display a button only which gives you all the freedom you want to place images and text around or before the button.

eg, something like [wp_eStore_add_to_cart id=1]

Would this be something you might be looking for?

There are also other “extra” shortcodes you could use by installing the extra shortcodes plugin which contain no thumbnail images but only a description and heading.

see here to get the extra shortcodes plugin:

Peter,

Thanks for the suggestion. That is what I am already doing and the shortcodes that are listed in the post above are from the newest shortcodes with the newest plugin.

My hope was to be able to have a shortcode(s) that I could use in different spots without having to create a complete post/page for other places that I would like to stick the product, so I would only have one place to correct any item in the future instead of everyplace I put it.

Thanks again.

Our product display shortcodes are pre-coded so they most likely won’t totally satisfy the look and feel you have in mind. You can customize the shortcode’s code to suite your need.

The shortcode that you are using comes from the following function:

show_wp_eStore_fancy1_no_thumbnail

It is inside the “shortcode_include.php” file of the extra shortcodes plugin.

Thanks Admin,

I lost a post here somewhere, so here goes again.

I looked at the .php file but it would be helpful if I knew what “code” inside I need to change to accomplish the following:

Remove the line:

God’s EPIC Adventure by Winn Griffin @

http://harmonpress.com/bookstore/

What part of the .php code corresponds to:

God’s EPIC Adventure by Winn Griffin

The body text: “You sit down to read…”

The price

The button

Second, when I use a shortcode with the boxed image, the image get’s cut off top and bottom. So, what size image should be used to get it to fit into the box without it being clipped?

Third, can I use the preset setup [wp_eStore_fancy1_no_thumbnail id=9] as a fancy2?

Thanks,

You will need to custom code this. There is no option to turn those off in the display. Please contact us for custom coding using the contact form on out site.
