Product Code Tags

[barbara]

Hi There Everyone...

Am playing around with my site, and have decided I'd like to display the product code for each of my products, I figured the easiest way would be to do this in the brief styles. I have used the tag <B><#ProductCode></B> for my standard page and it works great.

My problem is that some of my pages are set up using the 2 column set up, and when editing those pages, I run into problems. I can't figure out what the right tag is - I figure it would be something like <B><#ProductCode1></B>, but that won't work. Anyone done this? Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
Barbara

nb. the style that I'm trying to modify:

<div align="center">
<center>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" height="20%">
<tr>

<td valign="top" width="50%">
~#1
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" width=100% bgcolor="#EAE5C2" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#000066" height="100%">
<tr bgcolor="#EAE5C2" align="center">
<td valign="top" height="0"><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000"><b >#productname1#</b><BR>
<B>[<#productcode>]</B><BR>
#LargeImage1#<br>#Detaileddescription1#

<TABLE BORDER="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<TR><TD valign="middle" width=25%>< b><CENTER>#DomPrice1#</b><br>
<FONT SIZE=1>AUD</CENTER></FONT>
</TD><TD valign="bottom" width=75%><font face="Verdana" size="2">#Form1# <PRE> <font face="Verdana" size="2"><#Quantity></FONT> <input align="absbottom" src= "#BuyBtn1#" type="image" border = "0"></PRE>#CustomFields1# #hiddenfields1#</font></td>
</tr>
</TABLE>

</TD></TR>

</table> ~#/1
</td>

<td valign="top" width="50%">
~#2
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" width=100% bgcolor="#EAE5C2" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#000066" height="100%">
<tr bgcolor="#EAE5C2" align="center">

Hi

Can you please try

#productcode1#

and #productcode2#

[barbara]

Hi David..
I have tried:
#productcode1# <BR>
<#productcode1#> <BR>
#prodcode1# <BR>
<#prodcode1#> <BR>
#productcode1 <BR>
<#productcode1> <BR>
<productcode1> <BR>
<productcode1#> <BR>
and the equivalent for product 2 (#productcode2# etc)

None of them would work. Any ideas?

Also, it seems that when I search for a product, using the product code, search doesn't return any results. For example, I have a product named Metal Charm - Lucky 7, and I have its product code, OB01101, coming up under it (using the <#ProductCode> tag). When I search for 'OB01101', the search returns no results. Is this because it is generated text? Is there anyway for the search to locate it?
Thanks

Hi David, do you have any suggestions for this one? Is there somewhere I can obtain a list of all the tags available?

[dferguson]

I have checked with our programmer and the current version wont allow product codes on the column based product styles. Our programmer is working on a patch now and I will post back once its complete.

Thanks David!

Ok, we have a new version of ezimerchant which will allow the use of the following tags:

#ProductCodex#

Where x is a number.

This tag can only be used in a brief product style that has multiple columns.

In your case you would need to use #ProductCode1# and #ProductCode2#

Dave,

Is it now possible to use the product code in the Product Detail page with V4?
Btw, it works beautifully for the Category page in V4.

Regards,
Greg

Can you try the standard <#ProductCode>

[memories]

David,

I am very happy :D . The product code now appears in both the Category page and the Detailed page (uploading as I speak).

We have found that it really helps our customers in discussing products over the phone.

Thank you!

Regards,
Greg

P.S. If anybody wants the specific code to achieve this, please let me know.
