Plugin: MijoShop

Description

This plugin enables you to insert products (one by one or by a selection on one or several categories) from MijoShop in your Newsletters.

You can also use this plugin to automatically include your newly created (or modified) products in an Auto-newsletter.

Customize your MijoShop product template

Customize your product using some CSS

You can change the styles used for the title and the content area by editing your AcyMailing template.

Edit the AcyMailing template used for your Newsletter and then set some styles:

• Style for the content area will be used to encompass your product

• Style for the content title will be applied to your product title

• Style for the read more link will be applied to your read more link (if you have one)

• You can also set the style of all your links using the Link a field

Set styles template

Create your own template

You can also modify the way your MijoShop product is displayed by creating your own template which will be used to render the product. Please follow those instructions, we don't recommend you to modify the MijoShop plugin directly otherwise your changes will be overwritten when you update the plugin.

Create a file in the the folder media / com_acymailing / plugins (if the folder does not exist, please create it first). The name of the file should be mijoshop.php If this file is available on your server, AcyMailing will use it and won't use the default one.

On this file you can access the element $varFields (which contains all the product information), the element $tag (which contains the information of the current tag used in your Newsletter) and $link (the product link)

You can insert the product information using this simple syntax : {name}, {link} or {description}

Using all those variables, you can create your own product template.

Here is an example:

<div class="acymailing_content">
    <a href="{link}" name="mijoshop-{product_id}" target="_blank" >
        <h2 class="acymailing_title">{name}</h2>
    </a>
    <a href="{link}" target="_blank" style="text-decoration:none" >{image}</a>
    {description}
    Price: {price}
    Rating: {rate}/5
</div>
