Product Detail page

Drew McLellan said:

Sorry, do you mean how do you link to the product detail page from the listing?

What's the URL of the product detail page?

Yes And i created a page called: Products

Want to navigate to product detail page when clicking on the product (Test)

Found more info here: https://solutions.grabaperch.com/architecture/how-do-i-create-list-detail-pages

I am still having issues with this, I must be missing something obvious. I am not a php dev, so may explain it.

So I have created a page for the 'product listing’ & 'product detail page’ which sit in a folder called shop within the root both use their respective default functions & default templates just while I learn the shop ropes.

• perch_shop_products( ); function on the listing page
• perch_shop_product(‘a product slug'); function on the detail page

If I test each page in the browser all is OK, in that they both fire their respective templates, the product lists shows all products, the product detail shows a product if I add a slug, or all products in a bit more detail if none parsed.

So to rephrase this thread, how do I pass the ‘slug’ as a query to the product_shop_product() function from the listing page once I click on the product link.

As Rachel mentioned I need to tell the list.html <a> element to look for the product details page, the default template is

<a href="/shop/products/<perch:shop id="slug" type="slug" />/“>

I updated to this

<a href="/shop/products/product.php?s=<perch:shop id="slug" type="slug" />/">

I have blog installed and no issues setting that up, I looked at how that handles passing the query from the blog/index.php to blog/post.php so tried something similar like this perch_shop_product(perch_get('s')); and tweaking the template, but I’m just missing something obvious I know it!

Any help appreciated

You running Perch or Perch Runway?, I use Runway

I solved it with token (https://docs.grabaperch.com/runway/routing/custom-tokens/)

I'm on standard perch

Ok thanks Ali, I will take a look. I need to buy a dev runway licence anyway, so think I will do that and start afresh rather than mess up my other installs.

yeah, i think its better, runway is way better then old perch :) you can do a lot more stuff :)

i have this setting:

//file: perch->config->runway.php

        'routing_tokens' => [
            'productSlug' => '.*' //match all (regex)
        ],  

then go to the product page via dashboard and click Page Options And in the URL pattern, you then add:

product/[productSlug:s]

that should work, it worked for me :)
