The ccp php line of

$this->include_namespace('app','namespace',array());

where app is the namespace's app and namespace is the  namespace you want to call, so (example ecom.catshow)

$this->include_namespace('ecom','catshow',array());

will pull the categories for display. But this will execut the namespace and if  used on or for the best sellers will not insert any other image than listed in the porducts information or that is stored within  your ccp directory because that's all the original script is set to do.

an example to pull a product is

$this->include_namespace('ecom','prodshow',array('ref' => 'product_id'));

So you have created a static html page and just want to link to the products?

John

It seems you just want to create a xhtml link.

John, how would you code a product link?  I have set up hard-coded links to free samples in the long product descriptions in the format of: index.php?app=ecom&ns=prodshow&ref=free_sample and of course, I realize now that they will not rewrite when SEO is on.

This is not the way to do it properly, because SEO links will not work once you enable SEO.  The link will work, but there's some unforeseen downsides.  Hope this helps!

The problem here is that the long description isn't set up to execute php code within its field but a product link would be

Code:

<?php
$link = $this->link_namespace('ecom','prodshow',array('ref' => 'product_id'));
?>

<a href="<?php print $link; ?>" title="your_title"><img src="your_image"></a>

John

It won't execute in that space.  When I view the source, the link is printed verbatim:

<a href="<?php print $link; ?>" title="Free Sample">Get a Free Sample!</a>

and everything except "<?php" and "?>" in the following

$link = $this->link_namespace('ecom','prodshow',array('ref' => 'product_id'));

is also printed verbatim.

I can use the already rewritten url hard links I suppose.

If you want to run php in the long description then replace this line in your product detail displays

<?php print $proddesc; ?>

with this

<?php $this->include_phptext($proddesc); ?>

Have tested this and haven't seen any problems yet with items with no html or php in them.
