How to show products in posts via tags?

[brinch]

Hi

I have made a custom view which I am using in my blog posts when I make for example a top 10 review of products. I am using it after each review = 10 times per post. The short code I am using is: [DFR:My custom view?word=coca cola]
My custom view = the name I gave the view when I made it
coca cola = the brandname from where I want products to be shown - it can be more then one word.

Now I became aware that when I use the same short code, I have an issue with illegal attributes bec. it is the same CSS ID.

Does any of you have a good tip, idea or maybe an alternative, to how I can show products in posts via tags/keywords/brandname without having illegal css as above?

I can't imagine that I have to make a new view for each block of products I want to show...

Hi Thomas,

What you can do to get rid of duplicate CSS IDs is to configure your custom view to "Don't use layout for this view" (under View's menu > View Properties).

The only issue then is you will need to add a wrapper <div> around all of your embedded views like this:

<div id="view">
	[DFR:My custom view?word=coca cola]
	[DFR:My custom view?word=foobar]
	[DFR:My custom view?word=qwerty]
</div>
