Merge Tags For WordPress Posts & Pages

how can i get these to work in sidebar widgets?

Mya I change “%%SITE_URL_DAP%%” to read
“%%SITE_URL_DAP%%/coaching”? Users login on the coaching page, not the site URL.

Thank you,
Dora

Hi, How can I add these shortcodes to a sidebar?

Thanks

You can’t use the shortcodes on the sidebar – yet. But that’s a great idea, and I have noted it down for a future release.

Chuck, see above. Can’t do it yet.

Sure, you can add additional text before or after the merge codes.

where can I find the merge tags so that I can edit the content ie : %%UNSUB_LINK%%

thanks
john

John,

I don’t understand what you wish to edit. If you put %%UNSUB_LINK%% in your emails (see templates screen), then it will be replaced by the unsubscribe link. If you remove it, it won’t be.

So is it the “Templates” screen you’re looking for (see Email Footer)?

Ravi, I have a plugin that will run PHP code for me.

What’s the proper syntax to execute these marge tags in PHP code?

When I try to use multiple merge tags in a WP post, the first tag renders correctly but the second one does not. For instance,

%%FIRST_NAME%% %%LAST_NAME%%

Yields:

Josh %%LAST_NAME%%

Actually, it looks like the problem is that %%FULL_NAME%% isn’t working. It WILL render multiple merge tags.

Josh,

There is no such tag as %%FULL_NAME%% in DAP. You should use %%FIRST_NAME%% %%LAST_NAME%% if you want the full name.

Josh,

Take a look at the DAP-WP-LiveLinks.php file. That has the code for converting merge tags in normal, non-WP php code.

Unfortunately, we are unable to support custom PHP coding at this time. You will have to figure that out from the above file.

My apologies Ravi. It was actually %%LAST_NAME%% that I was referring to. FULL_NAME was just something I tried.

So, %%FIRST_NAME%% works fine, but %%LAST_NAME%% isn’t working.

[…] Here are the merge-tags that you can use in outgoing autoresponder and broadcast emails sent through DAP. (Click here for merge tags you can use in your WordPress blog posts/pages) […]

It would be great to have the ability to have two different products display on one page using the merge tag %%PRODUCT_DETAILS_%% especially now with the use of product chaining. I’ve been able to get one to display but not two on the same page.

Is there a way to modify or change the system error messages that will be displayed where we put the %%MSG%% tags?

Thanks,
Chad

@Shawn, take a look at the “Post Page Associator” plugin. It can be used to put excerpts from different posts on the same page.

By using that plugin, you MIGHT be able to use different posts to display different product details on the same page. I think there is another one that includes content from different posts on the same page. It may work if this plugin doesn’t. My thinking is that the posts will pull the details for the product in their own post. Then the two won’t be confused on the same page.

No gurantees, but that is the direction I would start in. Keeping them separately code wise (post wise) but having the content shown on the same page container.

Is there a way to display product price in content protected by DAP shortcode?

I am using shortcode [DAP isLoggedIn=”N” errMsgTemplate=”” ]…product description and buy button…[/DAP] as sales copy for a product. I would like to include the price using a merge tag in the product description.

I have tried using merge tag %%PRODUCT_DETAILS_%% but that seems to conflict with shortcode which is displaying the content.

I only need to display price, not all product details. Is there a merge tag or other solution to do this?

THanks in advance.
