Embeding content into a page

  • Hello,

    I have 20 pages in my site that will have a section with promotions. This section will be the same for all the 20 pages. This promotions will change every month. This promotion section is NOT a sidebar widget.

    I do not want to change manually the 20 pages every month and I am looking for a way to change only one and the change will apply to all the 20 pages automatically.

    If there a way to do this with WP?

    The only solution I could find so far is to create the promotions in a separate HTML file and embed it in the pages with <iframe>

    Does anybody know a better way to acomplish this?

    Thanks!

  • Don’t know if it is better, but you could use a shortcode to pull in the content of a page with the promotion info.

    Thank you! I didn’t know I could use a shortcode for that. Can you show me an example of how I can use the shortcode to pull in the content?

    The function below will retrieve the content of the first post in a given category.

    // Demonstrate a shortcode for getting content of first post in a category
// Format: [mam_cat_post cat=32]
function mam_get_category_post($atts) {
   extract(shortcode_atts(array('cat' => 0), $atts));
   $content = '';
   $cat_query = new WP_Query("cat=$cat&caller_get_posts=1&posts_per_page=1");
   if ($cat_query->have_posts()) {
      while ($cat_query->have_posts()) {
         $cat_query->the_post();
         $content = apply_filters('the_content',get_the_content());
      }
   }
   return $content;
}
add_shortcode('mam_cat_post','mam_get_category_post');
