insert tags in catalog notify (in the body text)

Hello:

I´m trying to show in the body text a field called "codigo".

User properties works ok, for instead I wrote:

{{user::firstname}} {{user::lastname}} de la empresa {{user::company}} has sent a notification for a catalog: ##catalog##.

but I would like to add a field call "codigo" (code of the item)

código: is there any tag to write here?

Best regards

Usually it's {{catalog::fieldnamegoeshere}}

thanks, but if it is a field created inside tl_catalog_fields and inside "name", how can it be written?

{{catalog::catalog_fieldsxxxxxx}} or

{{catalog_fields::codigo}} doesn´t work

...

Didn't I just type catalog? Don't try to be a smart cookie now. I've also provided examples where you have to enter is in the module, both below the subject AND the text, so its pretty clear that you have to use {{catalog::fieldname}}. Spoon feeding is always messy...

This is the Notify text I used for my property client:

Code:

---

--- ##catalog## ---
A user has sent a notification for an item in the above catalog.

Link to the catalog item:
##link##

--- Property Summary ---
{{catalog::webcode}} {{catalog::title}}
R {{catalog::price}}.00
{{catalog::description}}

---

You can also use the inserttags in the subject line

Code:

---

Property Notification: {{catalog::webcode}} {{catalog::title}}

---

well then I missing something, I created a catalog tablename "games".
I tried "tl_games" and "cat_games" for if the name of table could change anything.

I created fields (column name) called:
title
price
webcode

In the body text of catalog notify i wrote as you said:
{{catalog::title}}
{{catalog::price}}
{{catalog::webcode}}

and nothing appears in the e-mail. I tried a lot of different combinations... but nothing so, is there a tricky?

##catalog## and {{user::firstname}} {{user::lastname}} works so I don´t understand why {{catalog::webcode}} doesn´t.

Thanks

the inserttag doesn't need to know your tablename, as its already pre-selected the catalog at the top of the catalog notify module. Therefore only the fieldname is required. of course your fieldname must MATCH the one you defined in your catalog, e.g. in your case your catalog field would be {{catalog::codig}} (remember the double everything)

remember special characters are not allowed in a fieldname (é, etc).

If this still doesnt' work, then there must be something else wrong... Did you install all the dependencies and are you using the catalog notify module on a READER page?

then there must be something else wrong... I think all instance are installed and the module is in a reader page...
attached 3 images with:

sql
reader page
catalog notify

perhaps you can see the error,


thanks a lot

This is a quick fix. The Repository doesn't work well with the {{.

Go to your ModuleCatalog and the replaceCatalogTags() function.
Then move your cursor between {{ (2 places) and delete the illegal character inserted by the repository system.

I've updated the repository as well... but if an update of the ModuleCatalog.php doesn't work, then manually edit it yourself.

The update works.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,
is it possible to use catalog insert-tags also in reader template or in other parts?
or it works only in catalog notify's body text email?
Thanks

Hi gianko82,
inserttags already work in all templates from contao...

Hello MacKP,
does it mean that catalog insert tags can be used as input values in form generator fields?

Thanks

I mean all Inserttags. But the catalog has no inserttags. What you need is something else. There is an extension for post ore get variables over the url (like item=blabla&field2=dada). That variables can be used in the Form than.
I don't know the name atm... I think you can find it ;-)

regards

I suppose you are refering to Inputvar extension. I will have to look how it works and how i am able to pass attributes from catalog to URL.
Thanks

Why can't I use the catalog tags in a list module's condition??
example:
I am in a list module, published in a catalog reader page. I want to list the things that satisfy these conditions:
published = 1 AND alias = "{{catalog::alias}}"

is it possible?

You can't use inserttags like this, because there are no inserttags like that possible... what else should i write?
In the condition from the list-module you can use your rows like 'rowname_of_your_alias'.
In the Template you can easy use the Array....

btw your condition is realy strange.. do you want 1 item in a list? ore what do you want to do?
Maybe you must do it in the template what you try... but it looks like a job for an other catalog module like catalog-related ore catalog-referenz

regards
