Problem with multi-product links

  • Hi Paul!
    I need some help with a template as well as the shortcodes in the plugin.

    1)Recently I have been developing a 3-column template that will display a product in each column (total 3 products).
    I have managed to get the column as well as the various product links working perfectly, but the problem arises when I want to have the template support multiple products.

    I mean, the template works very fine for a single product (with the same product being displayed in all three columns).

    Below is a text file with the entire code:

    So what I am trying to achieve is:
    Product1 – Product 2 – Product 3

    instead of
    Product1 – Product 1 – Product 1

    2)Another doubt I had is whether it is possible to truncate the %Title% to “n” characters?

    3)How do I customize the thumbnail size using %THUMB_SIZE% to be responsive?

    Thanks, and have a nice day!

    Hi,

    The only way to do this I think is to only have the product part in the template, not the whole page, e.g.:

    <b>
         <span style="font-size: 10px;font-size: 1.4rem;padding-bottom: 14px;padding-bottom: 1rem;line-height: 1;">%LINK_OPEN%%TITLE%%LINK_CLOSE%us#</span>
         <br>
         <br>
     <center><img alt="%TITLE%" title="%TITLE%" src="%THUMB%"></center>
         <br>
         <span style="color: blue;font-size: 13px;font-size: 1.3rem;padding-left: 3px;padding-left: 0.3rem;padding-bottom: 6px;padding-bottom: 0.6rem;">Buying Options On Amazon</span>
         <br>
     <span class="al_found%FOUND%us#" style="padding-left: 5px;padding-left: 0.5rem;">%LINK_OPEN%us# <img style="height:12px;height:1.2rem;" src="%FLAG%us#"> %PRICE%us#%LINK_CLOSE%us# </span><br>
     <span class="al_found%FOUND%uk#" style="padding-left: 5px;padding-left: 0.5rem;">%LINK_OPEN%uk# <img style="height:12px;height:1.2rem;" src="%FLAG%uk#"> %PRICE%uk#%LINK_CLOSE%uk# </span><br>
     <span class="al_found%FOUND%ca#" style="padding-left: 5px;padding-left: 0.5rem;">%LINK_OPEN%ca# <img style="height:12px;height:1.2rem;" src="%FLAG%ca#"> %PRICE%ca#%LINK_CLOSE%ca# </span><br>
     <span class="al_found%FOUND%in#" style="padding-left: 5px;padding-left: 0.5rem;">%LINK_OPEN%in# <img style="height:12px;height:1.2rem;" src="%FLAG%in#"> %PRICE%in#%LINK_CLOSE%in# </span><br>
    </b>

    Then insert three shortcodes in your post/page with the 3 different ASIN values.

    You could use the php function to do shortcodes in templates:

    <?php amazon_shortcode('asin=0123456789&template=xxxx'); ?>

    Title Length
    ———-

    Yes at the moment there is no method of truncating the title length, there might be a way to do this in CSS?

    Thumb Size
    ———-

    This should work, if you right click on the thumbnail and do ‘view image’ or similar the URL should be something like:

    https://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/518VCDzndgL.SL100.jpg

    The SL100 determines the size of the thumbnail, see if it changes when you change the thumb_size setting.

    Actually, I wanted to generate a three column template that had 3 different products. In fact I still am not able to work out how to use multiple products.
    Isn’t there any way I can use multiple products in a structure like grid or columns? I find I it hard to use multi product settings in any template.

    As with the title length, I tried css ellipsis but it didn’t work out.

    Thanks Paul!
