Shortcodes in product detail not working

dhilditch · #1 September 13th, 2012, 06:22 AM

Hi guys,

I'm trying to use a plugin called Tubepress but its shortcodes are not working on the product detail page.

I've tried them from posts and they work from there.

I *guess* this is possibly something wrong with the way tubepress has implemented their shortcodes?

Here's an example:

And here's a link to my question on tubepress forum:

Any help you can provide greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Dave Hilditch

Hi

Try calling the shortcode using PHP like this:

PHP Code:


			
echo do_shortcode('[short_code_name]');

Hi

I would write a little function to put in your functions.php file. Call it something like dfr_get_shortcode($title)

Reference that function from your view.

Then in the function have it return the call to do_shortcode() with the title along with it.

That's a good idea - I'll experiment with that tonight.

Hi Eric,

Never got round to trying that when I said I would, tried it tonight though and it's still not working.

I've also now tried calling the PHP for tubepress directly:

Quote:

$tubepress_base_url = "http://www.fitness-saver.com/wp-content/plugins/tubepress_pro_2_4_5";
include "/var/www/vhosts/gymeq.com/fitness-saver/wp-content/plugins/tubepress_pro_2_4_5/sys/classes/TubePressPro.class.php";
// include "http://www.fitness-saver.com/wp-content/plugins/tubepress_pro_2_4_5/sys/classes/TubePressPro.class.php";
print TubePressPro::getHtmlForHead(true);

print TubePressPro::getHtmlForShortcode('mode="tag" tagValue="pittsburgh steelers" resultsPerPage="3"');

(as per http://tubepress.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1607 and http://tubepress.org/documentation/u...ress_templates)

Those paths are accurate.

I have tried both relative includes and direct includes but as soon as I add either from within Datafeedr I get a blank page returned.

If instead I add this to header.php, I get an error when trying to call getHtmlForShortcode.

If I could get this part here working, I believe the rest would work:

Quote:

$tubepress_base_url = "http://www.fitness-saver.com/wp-content/plugins/tubepress_pro_2_4_5";
include "/var/www/vhosts/gymeq.com/fitness-saver/wp-content/plugins/tubepress_pro_2_4_5/sys/classes/TubePressPro.class.php";
print TubePressPro::getHtmlForHead(true);

That works perfectly if i run it in header.php and I get the relevant tubepress code added to the <head></head> elements, but when I add it into anywhere in Datafeedr it fails.

For some reason, I believe the scope is different - is this possible?

Hi

I've tried testing with the free version of TubePress but it does not contain any of the methods that the Pro version refers to.

I also tried adding just this to my header.php file and it does not work:

PHP Code:


			
<?php echo do_shortcode('[tubepress]'); ?>

That makes me thing that it's not using the built-in WP shortcode engine.

The only thing I can think of is creating a function in your functions.php file, put the code that you have above into that function and call that function from a view in Datafeedr.

In functions.php

PHP Code:


			
function dfr_get_tb() {

$tubepress_base_url = "http://www.fitness-saver.com/wp-content/plugins/tubepress_pro_2_4_5";

include "/var/www/vhosts/gymeq.com/fitness-saver/wp-content/plugins/tubepress_pro_2_4_5/sys/classes/TubePressPro.class.php";

print TubePressPro::getHtmlForHead(true);

}

In view:

PHP Code:


			
echo dfr_get_tb();

That's really the only thing I can think of that may work. But I can't test it because I don't have a pro version.

Eric
