Also, I was also able to remove the pagination by deleting the following lines from my new function, show_wp_eStore_category_limitp_fancy, in the file shortcode_include.php:

//Number of pages setup

if ($totalrows > $limit)

{

$pages = ceil($totalrows / $limit)+1;

$separator=’?’;

$url=get_permalink();

if(strpos($url,’?product_page=’))

{

$separator=’?’;

}

else if(strpos($url,’?’)!==false)

{

$separator=’&’;

}

$output .= ‘<div class=”product_page”>’;

for($r = 1;$r<$pages;$r++)

{

$output .= ‘‘.$r.’ ‘;

//$output .= ““.$r.” “;

if ($r%15==0)

$output .= ‘

‘;

}

Wooooo Hoooo!!!

Thnks again!

Holy Cow, Amin007, I did it!

You’re talking to someone who is NOT a programmer! I mean, really NOT. But, I was able to edit both the shortcode_include.php and eStore-extra-shortcodes.php to create a new shortcode that does exactly what I want!!!! I’m doing the happy dance!

In case anyone else is looking to do this, here’s what I did:

In the shortcode_include.php file, I copied the function called show_wp_eStore_category_products_fancy

and then changed the following beginning lines of the copied function from:

function show_wp_eStore_category_products_fancy($id,$style=3,$order=1)

{

if($id==’no id’)

{

return “You did not specify a category ID. Please enter a category ID with this shortcode”;

}

$i = 0;

//set pages to include $limit records per page

$limit = get_option(‘eStore_products_per_page’);

if(empty($limit))

$limit = 25;

if (isset($_GET))

{

$page = $_GET;

}

else

{

$page = 1;

to:

function show_wp_eStore_category_limitp_fancy($limit,$id,$style=3,$order=1)

{

if($id==’no id’)

{

return “You did not specify a category ID. Please enter a category ID with this shortcode”;

}

$i = 0;

if($limit==’no limit’)

$limit = 25;

if (isset($_GET))

{

$page = $_GET;

}

else

{

$page = 1;

}

And, then, in the file titled eStore-extra-shortcodes.php, I inserted a line in the ‘add shortcode’ section towards the top:

add_shortcode(‘wp_eStore_fancy1_no_price’, ‘eStore_fancy1_no_price’);

add_shortcode(‘wp_eStore_latest_products’, ‘wp_eStore_latest_products_handler’);

add_shortcode(‘wp_eStore_category_products_fancy’, ‘wp_eStore_category_products_fancy_handler’);

//MEK added this function

add_shortcode(‘wp_eStore_category_limitp_fancy’, ‘wp_eStore_category_limitp_fancy_handler’);

add_shortcode(‘wp_eStore_display_compact_cart’, ‘wp_eStore_display_compact_cart_handler’);

add_shortcode(‘wp_eStore_fancy1_video_thumbnail’, ‘wp_eStore_fancy1_video_thumbnail_handler’);

add_shortcode(‘wp_eStore_free_download_ajax_fancy’,’wp_eStore_free_download_ajax_fancy_handler’);

And then, in this same file, I copied the following lines:

function wp_eStore_category_products_fancy_handler($atts){

extract(shortcode_atts(array(

‘id’ => ‘no id’,

‘style’ => ‘1’,

‘order’ => ‘1’,

), $atts));

return show_wp_eStore_category_products_fancy($id,$style,$order);

}

and edited the copied lines to be:

//MEK added this function

function wp_eStore_category_limitp_fancy_handler($atts){

extract(shortcode_atts(array(

‘limit’ => ‘no limit’,

‘id’ => ‘no id’,

‘style’ => ‘1’,

‘order’ => ‘1’,

), $atts));

return show_wp_eStore_category_limitp_fancy($limit,$id,$style,$order);

}

and, now I have the shortcode:

[wp_eStore_category_limitp_fancy limit=3 id=1 style=3 order=1]

that limits the number of products within a category shown to 3 (or whatever).

How cool is that!

Thanks for all of your help, Amin007!

Hi Amin007,

Thank you for the reply!

Unfortunately this solution doesn’t work for me because there are other categories of products where I want to show more than 3 products. The situation where I want to show only 3 products is just for a certain category.

Any other thoughts? Maybe this is a crazy idea, but is there a way that I can change the wp_eStore_category_products_fancy function to include the number modifier?

Thanks again!

Thank you so much! It’s working perfectly! Just how I wanted it!

You’re the best!

Thanks again!

Hi amin007,

Thank you so much for the reply.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work for me. Now, when I click on the thumbnail, the first image opens in the lightbox, but only the first image. There is no ‘image 1 of 12’ or anything like that and there is no ‘Next’ or ‘Previous’ buttons anywhere. So, there’s no way to see the additional images for the product.

Maybe this is a stupid observation, but I noticed this when I tried my own programming too. The changes in programming done on the eStore_button_display_helper.php file seem to have absolutely no effect on anything. The coding that you gave me above (and that I used) is alot like the coding that I tried to use – you’re adding the image set option (or group I guess in my case) to the ‘rel=”lightbox”‘ coding. But, as with my coding, I don’t see any change in the resulting HTML coding for the page. The html for the page still just shows ‘rel=”lightbox”‘ with no modifier. Maybe that doesn’t help, but I thought that I would mention it.

If it helps, here’s a link to my product page:

Thanks again for all of your help!

Hi, it’s me again.

I think I know, at least in theory, how to solve my problem here, but I don’t know how to implement it. I’m don’t know php at all, so I’m hoping someone can help me with that part…

The change that I think I need is to add a modifier in brackets to the rel=”lightbox” part of the programming. So, all of the images that belong to product #1 would all have the same modifier added to this programing (i.e. rel=”lightbox[product1]”) and all the images for the second product would have a different modifier added to them (i.e. rel=”lightbox[product2]”).

So, I can’t seem to figure out how to implement this in the programing. Again, I know nothing about php. But , this is what I’ve tried and it didn’t work. I tried to change the programming to add the product name in brackets to the rel=”lightbox” line. I did this by editing the ‘eStore_button_display_helper.php’ file. Here are the before and after lines of code, starting at line 17:

Before:

else

{

$output .= ‘<div class=”eStore-thumbnail”>’;

$output .= ‘thumbnail_url.'” rel=”lightbox” title=”‘.$ret_product->name.'”><img class=”thumb-image” src=”‘.$thumb_img.'” alt=”‘.$ret_product->name.'” />‘;

$output .= ‘</div>’;

if(!empty($ret_product->additional_images))

{

$product_images = explode(‘,’,$ret_product->additional_images);

foreach ($product_images as $image)

{

$output .= ‘name.'”>‘;

}

}

}

After:

else

{

$output .= ‘<div class=”eStore-thumbnail”>’;

$output .= ‘thumbnail_url.'” rel=”lightbox” title=”‘.$ret_product->name.'”><img class=”thumb-image” src=”‘.$thumb_img.'” alt=”‘.$ret_product->name.'” />‘;

$output .= ‘</div>’;

if(!empty($ret_product->additional_images))

{

$product_images = explode(‘,’,$ret_product->additional_images);

foreach ($product_images as $image)

{

$output .= ‘name.’]” title=”‘.$ret_product->name.'”>‘;

}

}

}

So, basically I changed rel=”lightbox” to rel=”lightbox”

But, no change iin the way the lightbox is working. Any thoughts?

Thanks again-

-Mary
