Packed Custom Fields issues
Hi guys,
I am trying to use Packed Custom Fields for a project but I got nothing from the custom field I am using.
Anyone has experience with the plugin to help me?
The code is:
The custom field name is “productBuyLink”
Its content is:
article1(name='Product name';price='$29.99 USD';buylink='?action=add&product=60¬ify=y')|article2(name='Product name Pro';price='$59.99 USD';buylink='?action=add&product=70¬ify=y')
While the form code is:
<txp:sed_pcf_for_each_value name="productBuyLink" debug="1">
<li class="box button">
<a class="buy-btn" title="Add {name} to the cart ({price})" href="{buylink}">Add {name} to the cart ({price})</a>
</li>
</txp:sed_pcf_for_each_value>
As always, thank you all for your help.

A little follow up.
Converting the custom field name to lowercase, I was able to make the tag “at least” to show its content but I still got no variables (such as {name}) parsed.

Hi Giuseppe
You might get more information if you posted your issues at the plugin’s thread. This is always a good idea as it keeps all issues on the same place and reduces forum searches.

Re: Packed Custom Fields issues
Ok, I got it to work.
I was confused by the documentation and its lack of examples, but, simply put, the syntax I used was just wrong, sorry.
Even if the way I used it would be really better to use it is not possible to use the sed_pcf_for_each_value
since it will work on simple CSV values.
So, the right to write the form is:
<txp:sed_pcf_if_field_section custom='productbuylink' section='article1'>
<li class="box button">
<a class="buy-btn" title="Add <txp:sed_pcf_get_value custom='productbuylink' section='article1' variable='name' /> to the cart (<txp:sed_pcf_get_value custom='productbuylink' section='article1' variable='price' />)" href="?action=add&product=<txp:sed_pcf_get_value custom='productbuylink' section='article1' variable='productid' />">Buy <txp:sed_pcf_get_value custom='productbuylink' section='article1' variable='name' />! <span><txp:sed_pcf_get_value custom='productbuylink' section='article1' variable='price' /></span></a>
</li>
</txp:sed_pcf_if_field_section>
<txp:sed_pcf_if_field_section custom='productbuylink' section='article2'>
<li class="box button">
<a class="buy-btn" title="Add <txp:sed_pcf_get_value custom='productbuylink' section='article2' variable='name' /> to the cart (<txp:sed_pcf_get_value custom='productbuylink' section='article2' variable='price' />)" href="?action=add&product=<txp:sed_pcf_get_value custom='productbuylink' section='article2' variable='productid' />">Buy <txp:sed_pcf_get_value custom='productbuylink' section='article2' variable='name' />! <span><txp:sed_pcf_get_value custom='productbuylink' section='article2' variable='price' /></span></a>
</li>
</txp:sed_pcf_if_field_section>
while custom field data has changed like:
article1(name='Product name';price='$29.99 USD';productid='60')|article2(name='Product name Pro';price='$59.99 USD';productid='70')
note as the previous productbuylink
key in the datas has changed since a bug in parsing the query string truncated it to the action=
token considering it a key and not part of the value string.
As a fix I changed it to productid
.
I hope this can help.

Yiannis, I am sorry, I thought about it just after posting it. Is it possible to move it? If not, can I post a link to the plug in thread to this post?

The forum as it is now doesn’t allow splitting or merging topics. Never mind, just keep it in mind for a next time ;)
