Hi Riaan

Thanks for your help and suggestions ??

The reason I want to use woocommerce, is because I notice it has an affiliate product option, whereby I can just add my affiliate link, and a nice CTA appears which will take the visitor to that site. Woocommerce looks smart too, which is another aspect I like.

The only thing I think it’s missing for me is the map part, which would perhaps be used to help visitors to search for the correct listing in the correct area. Then again, it’s not essential if I can get a good, easily searchable text menu composed somehow. I’m not sure. Perhaps I need an add on to make this part possible?

I don’t own or rent any accommodation myself, or take any payment for bookings, this is purely for affiliate marketing. That’s why I’m really hoping Woocommerce can work for this somehow.

Perhaps I could have a clickable map somehow on the main page of my site, which for instance takes the visitor to an [England] page if they click on England, then within that page are all the counties, and within the individual county pages the listings for that area. I’m just not sure what’s possible with this plugin. I guess I need to do some experimenting, but if you can think of any add ons which may make this nice and sleek, please feel free to make suggestions.

Thanks again for your time!

I use affiliate links, so the banner would point towards a different hotel website on each ad. I have the links in each ad now which you can see, but I just want this image within the ad too, near to the bottom of the text, linking to the url of the affiliate website for that particular listing.

Basically, all I essentially want to do is have it so that when I put an image directly into the content (text) of the listing, it doesn’t get included in the top scroll box and is instead treated as an individual image, just like in any kind of post. I can then link to the url I need to for each listing. Is this not possible at all? (happy to add images I need in the scroll box via the upload box at the bottom)

Thanks

Sally

Thanks for the suggestion. However, the banner needs to link to a different page on each listing, would this be possible?

Thanks again

I’m beginning to think this is something to do with Windows live mail as the messages appear as normal web logged in via a web browser.

I decided to set up a dedicated GMX email address anyway to organise this a bit better so my submissions don’t get mixed up with my regular emails.

So anyway, just trying to set this up for GMX now and have another question…

Any idea why when I set up an auto responder the sender receives the auto response as coming from ‘wordpress’? – https://gyazo.com/61462e43b86649da70321f1d35bb30d5

Also, is there a way to format this a bit better? It’s all a bit bundled up into one paragraph. https://gyazo.com/ff1819d9694a52901d2ace26ffc013fa

Thanks!

Hi

https://gyazo.com/0dabe888bf24af306df72e62e41ad027 shows where, in windows live mail.

Thanks

Sally

Thank you ??

So in the case of https://lovefamilyholidays.co.uk/advert/broadgate-farm-cottages-yorkshire/ it would go in the place of ‘Want to find out more about Broadgate farm cottages? View current availability & prices here.’ near the bottom.

It would just literally be at the bottom of the written content, or even within the content (the text) of the ad. It would act as a call to action to get people to click through to the merchants site where they can find out more.

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

I checked the functions.php, and can’t seem to find that code.

This is the content of my functions.php;

<?php
define('child_template_directory', dirname( get_bloginfo('stylesheet_url')) );
add_filter( 'kirki/config', function( $config ) {
	$config['url_path'] = trailingslashit( get_template_directory_uri() ) . 'inc/kirki';
	return $config;
}, 99 );
add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', '__return_false' );
add_filter( "adverts_form_load", "customize_adverts_search" );
function customize_adverts_search( $form ) {
  if( $form['name'] != "search" ) {
    return $form;
  }
  foreach( $form["field"] as $key => $field ) {
    if( $field["name"] == "query" ) {
      $form["field"][$key]["attr"]["placeholder"] = __("Accommodation Type ...", "adverts");
    }
  }
  return $form;
}

This is from the functions.php in my child theme, is this the one you mean?

Thanks

Sally

Sorted ?? Thanks!

Thanks Greg

I added that, but it doesn’t seem to have altered anything.

Is there something wrong with the way I’ve entered it?

<div class="<?php echo adverts_css_classes( 'advert-item advert-item-col-'.(int)$columns, get_the_ID() ) ?>">

        <?php $image = adverts_get_main_image( get_the_ID() ) ?>
        <div class="advert-img">
            <?php if($image): ?>
                <img src="<?php esc_attr_e($image) ?>" alt="" class="advert-item-grow" />
            <?php endif; ?>
        </div>

        <div class="advert-post-title">
            <span title="<?php esc_attr_e( get_the_title() ) ?>" class="advert-link"><?php the_title() ?></span>
            <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( get_the_title() ) ?>" class="advert-link-wrap"></a>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?> style="display: block; width: 100%; text-align: center;">CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS</a>
        </div>

        <div class="advert-published ">

            <span class="advert-item-col-1-only advert-location adverts-icon-location"><?php echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), "adverts_location", true ) ?></span>

            <?php $price = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), "adverts_price", true ) ?>
            <?php if( $price ): ?>
            <div class="advert-price"><?php esc_html_e( adverts_price( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), "adverts_price", true ) ) ) ?></div>
            <?php endif; ?>
        </div>

    </div>

(This is within list-item.php)

Thanks

Sally

Thank you ??

Not to worry, the ‘m’ was missing from important, fixed now, thanks! ??

Hi Brian

I’ll contact you via your form.

Thanks

Sally

Ok, to do this, am I right in thinking I follow the instructions at https://wpadverts.com/documentation/child-themes-and-templates/ for adverts load template, except not the same, instead should I create a folder within wp-content/plugins called adverts_form_load, then within that adverts_form_load.php? Am I right so far?

Then, how do I find the code I need to enter into this?

I presume the code above will be somewhere within that?

Thanks
