Can you send query strings to product pages?

badm00n · #1 January 27th, 2011, 10:31 AM

First off - just want to congratulate the datafeedr team for all their hard work on the new version. Got my site up and running pretty much exactly how I envisioned with the new version.

Now on to the question - is it possible to pass query strings into the product pages? For example if i was doing a PPC campaign and sending traffic directly to a product page how would I send some tracking queries?

Also, is it possible to put php code into the product title or description boxes or is that purely text only?

Thanks.

Hi

Yes, you can put PHP code in your <head> area for a product page.

If you have some query string to append to the URL, you can do that too:

site.com/store/product/product-name-12345/?q=123&foo=bar

I have never tried to capture the variables in the URL so do test before going live with your changes.

Thanks. I guess my second question wasn't really clear. If i was to send

site.com/store/product/product-name-12345/?word=test

Could I show in the word test on the actual page with a <?php echo $_GET["word"]; ?> in the product description or title or are those strictly text only?

You could use $_GET or you could use: [store.get param="foo"] which prints the GET param with the name "foo".
