Widgets and Shortcodes
Shortcodes
There may be times where were you want to display product information on a regular page instead of using the built-in permalink structure. There are several shortcodes to aid in this process.
If you would like to use Shortcodes inside of a page or post, you can do so by passing in the product’s slug.
Full Product Details
[showproduct name="product-slug"]
Product Category Page
[productcategory name="category-slug"]
Display All Products
Here’s some code to display your all-products page in a shortcode. Save that file as foxyshop-all-products-shortcode.php in your theme folder, then add this code into your functions.php file.
Finally, you’ll place this in the desired location on the page:
[allproducts name="products-slug"]
Add To Cart Link (URL Only)
[productlink name="product-slug"]
Add To Cart Link (Formatted Link)
[product name="product-slug"]Add To Cart[/product]
Alternate: [product name="product-slug"]
With Variations: [product name="product-slug" variations="Color=Green&Size=Large"]Add To Cart[/product]
The theme customization files for the product details and the category page can be found in the /themefiles/ directory. Read more about editing theme files. These shortcodes don’t, by default, do everything that a regular product page does since there isn’t a permanent url attached. For this reason, it’s recommended that you use the permalink structure if you can.
Widgets
FoxyShop has some pre-loaded widgets available on the Appearances / Widgets menu:
- Add a Shopping Cart link that automatically updates with the quantity and price
- Display products in a featured category
- Display a list of categories
If you’d like a widget to show only a specific product, here’s some code to do that. Just put this code in your functions.php file.
