Tags and Includes – Not for the feint hearted

  • I would like to remote include a list of boats for sale. By adding a few words to that query it then shows related boats for sale to those keywords.
    The boats need to come in to the sidebar so I had:

    <?php query_posts(); if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php include("https://www....<urlforsearchhere>....?keyword=<?php the_tags(); ?>"); ?>
<?php endwhile; else: endif; wp_reset_query(); ?>

    Testing the URL out of an include works, bringing back a result. Having the include with no keywords shows 4 random boats. I am testing against one post with one tag, the one tag being “1967 Donzi”.

    Any help would be very grateful.
    Thanks.

    No one have an idea?

    Wouldn’t you need to use Function_Reference/get_the_tags for that?

    Thanks Michael, you’re quite right, needed get_the_tags not the_tags.

    The tags part works great now and I can get my script to print the correct url like this:

    <?php<br />
$posttags = get_the_tags();
if ($posttags) {
foreach($posttags as $tag) {
$url = '"https://www.boats.com/boats/search/boats_for_sale_list.html?Ntt=' . $tag->name . '"';
echo "$url";
}
}
?>

    But when I just use the include, it doesn’t work:

    <?php
$posttags = get_the_tags();
if ($posttags) {
foreach($posttags as $tag) {
$url = '"https://www.boats.com/boats/search/boats_for_sale_list.html?Ntt=' . $tag->name . '"';
include($url);
}
}
?>

    Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
