How do I make unique title tags for price filter widget pages?

(I am using the filter by price widget in this question.)

I see that once I click on a filter by price link, the same category title is used in the price filter. I am wondering if there is a way to create a unique title based on the price as well as the current category.

This is a good example. They use the category name but also get under $50 into the title.

This works for me in the <head> elements:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

function format_price($price) {

    $price = strip_tags($price);

    $price = explode("-", $price);

    if (trim($price[0]) == '')

        $html = 'less than $'.$price[1];

    elseif (trim($price[1]) == '')

        $html = 'more than $'.$price[0];

    else

        $html = '$'.$price[0] . ' - '. '$'.$price[1];

       

    return $html;

}

?>



<title>[category.name] | <?php if (@$_GET['price']) { ?> Price is <?php echo format_price($_GET['price']); ?> | <?php } ?> </title>

In the filter by price widget head elements? I tried it there and do not see changes.

Any ideas?

No, in the CATEGORY PAGE > Default > View menu > View <head> Elements section.

I have views created for my category pages. (I did try it in default but no dice).

I did it in one of my views, but when I added the price widget, my left navigation disappeared. You can see it here

This is what I added to the <head> elements of that view

<?php
function format_price($price) {
$price = strip_tags($price);
$price = explode("-", $price);
if (trim($price[0]) == '')
$html = 'less than $'.$price[1];
elseif (trim($price[1]) == '')
$html = 'more than $'.$price[0];
else
$html = '$'.$price[0] . ' - '. '$'.$price[1];

return $html;
}
?>

<title>Christening Rosaries | Christening Rosary Gift Ideas | [store.if page="on"] | page [store.page] | [/store.if]<?php if (@$_GET['price']) { ?> Price is <?php echo format_price($_GET['price']); ?> | <?php } ?> </title>

I inserted your exact code into my test site and it worked fine.

You can see that it does work here where you have added the code to the <head> element.

Regarding your sidebar disappearing, are you sure it's related to the <head> code? Could it be something in your widget settings?

I think it is due to my widget settings. And your example looks great! That is exactly what I wanted.

But this is weird. If I use the tag cloud setting, my left nav stays with the tag cloud. When I switch it to price filter, my left navigation disappears.

Are you clicking "Save" when you make an edit to the widgets on the WP widgets page?

cashnow

Yes, and after I refresh the page, it vanishes.

Eric	January 28th, 2011 04:43 PM

Are you using some type of widget context filter plugin?

cashnow

I am using the Widget Context plugin. And I have it set to Show on Selected and store/category* assigned to it.

Eric	January 28th, 2011 05:40 PM

What happens if you remove the extra <title> stuff that we did? Does the widget come back?

Yes, it does.

Maybe try renaming the function call from format_price to forbabygifts_format_price. Maybe it's conflicting with another function.

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

function forbabygifts_format_price($price) {

$price = strip_tags($price);

$price = explode("-", $price);

if (trim($price[0]) == '')

$html = 'less than $'.$price[1];

elseif (trim($price[1]) == '')

$html = 'more than $'.$price[0];

else

$html = '$'.$price[0] . ' - '. '$'.$price[1];



return $html;

}

?>



<title>Christening Rosaries | Christening Rosary Gift Ideas | [store.if page="on"] | page [store.page] | [/store.if]<?php if (@$_GET['price']) { ?> Price is <?php echo forbabygifts_format_price($_GET['price']); ?> | <?php } ?> </title>

Tah-Da!!!!! .....and Thank you!!

Now, one last question, if I also want to do this with filter by merchant widget, is there a code for that as well?
