Shortcodes for Zen Cart

[lat9]

Coming soon to a Zen Cart near you ... the ability to use WordPress-like shortcodes in your site's products' and categories' descriptions. Instead of 'hard-coding' links to other products and categories, just enter the shortcode and let the encapsulated plugin do the work for you.

Great stuff! I have created a help page that lists all these types of time-saving tweaks:

Can it be adapted to use short code in EZ-Pages?

I understand that EZ page are database generated so it may not be possible.

If not easy page, can it be use with any define_pages?

Thank you

Thank you

EZ-Pages, yes; define-pages, no. I've created an issue on the plugin's GitHub (https://github.com/lat9/zen_short_codes) to 'remind' myself.

Awesome. Thank you.

it may be a dumb question, but would it possible to use shortcode to inject an "image link" as opposed to a "text link"?

if so, how would you do it?

thank you

Not a dumb question! It's possible but will take me a bit of time (which I don't have right now) to either add to the existing shortcode implementation or identify how a user-supplied one can be created.

Thank you lat9 for the prompt reply and I completely understand. It was just a thought about images

I just started experimenting with shortcodes. To be honest, i am not familiar with it at all and not a pro WP user either.

I am getting an issue:

When adding this to one of my product:

See similar Christmas floral design [zenprod id=2774 text="here"].

The product listings won't load and i am getting this long log: ( partial log attached)

Strangely, it does it on only one product as far as I know. I added a similar shortcode to a different and it works fine like here https://www.royal-fleur.com/all-avai...as-joy-bouquet

The product having issue with shortcode is here https://www.royal-fleur.com/all-avai...istmas-bouquet if it helps

I believe it is a server issue like running out of memory or something.

Any way,how can i solve this?

Thank you in advance for the help
