Adding personal comments to products using wishlist template

Hi,

Yes you can do this by using one of the TEXT keywords: %TEXT1%, %TEXT2%, %TEXT3%.

Add the keyword into the template content at the appropriate place, e.g.:

Update the wishlist template content to include the %TEXT1 keyword:

<div class="al_found%FOUND%">
 <div class="amazon_prod">
  <div class="amazon_img_container">
   %LINK_OPEN%<img class="%IMAGE_CLASS%" src="%THUMB%">%LINK_CLOSE%
  </div>
  <div class="amazon_text_container">
   <p>%LINK_OPEN%%TITLE%%LINK_CLOSE%</p>
   <div class="amazon_details">
     <p>by %ARTIST% [%MANUFACTURER%] (%RELEASED%)<br />
     Rank/Rating: %RANK%/%RATING_LINK%<br />
     <b>Price: <span class="amazon_price">%PRICE%</span></b></br>
     %TEXT1%
    </p>
   </div>
  </div>
 </div>
<img src="https://%IMP%.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=%TAG%&l=as2&o=%MPLACE_ID%&a=%ASIN%" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />
</div>

Then in the shortcode, add your comment:

[amazon asin=B0054Y5X04&template=wishlist&text1=You should buy two of these. They wear out quickly]

Hope that helps,

Paul

Thanks for the quick reply!

Another quick question — what if I have multiple products in the list? I tried playing around with various versions of the shortcode, but I’m a rookie and can’t get more than one item to display. I’m assuming I can’t use TEXT1, TEXT2 etc more than once in each list? Also, am I limited to 5 items, since “TEXT through TEXT4” are the only shortcodes provided?:

[amazon template=wishlist&asin=B001IZE7UU&text=This is test zero,B00DZ6AKQU&text1=This is test one,B000YIAYJ0&text2=This is test two,
B004WA8GH8&text3=This is test three,B009G9LCOY&text4=This is test four]

I also tried this, with no luck:

[amazon asin=B0054Y5X04&template=wishlist&text=This is test zero,asin=B0054Y5X04&template=wishlist&text1=This is test one]

Hi,

No you are right there is no way to do it with one shortcode, you would need to break it into multiple shortcodes.

[amazon template=wishlist&asin=B001IZE7UU&text1=This is test zero]
[amazon template=wishlist&asin=B00DZ6AKQU&text1=This is test one]
[amazon template=wishlist&asin=B000YIAYJ0&text1=This is test two]
[amazon template=wishlist&asin=B004WA8GH8&text1=This is test three]
[amazon template=wishlist&asin=B009G9LCOY&text1=This is test four]

I did at one point consider being able to manually edit data related to each ASIN for this sort of feature. i.e. So some product data was fetched from Amazon and some entered manually but never got round to it.

Could probably do something clever with CSS, to get it working with 5 ASINS, but its a bit hacky!

*Smacks my head*! Of course! Why didn’t I think of that? Well… I know why — it’s cause I don’t have a clue what I’m doing. ??

Thank you so much for your incredibly quick responses and patience. Really — you go above-and-beyond. It is very much appreciated.
