This plugin is only used if you want to integrate with ACYMailing component to send coupon newsletter to your subscribers.
tagcmcouponlisting plug-in helps you insert coupons in a specific category into ACYMailing's newsletter automatically.
After install the plugin, you can find it in your Plugin Manager.
You can find the following options in the plug-in setting:
- Single coupon template: Template of a coupon in ACYMailing newsletter. You can use HTML and CSS to design how a coupon looks like in newsletter. You can use the following variable tags, these tags will be replaced by real information of coupon:
- {coupon_name}: Name of coupon.
- {coupon_description}: Description of coupon.
- {coupon_link}: Link to coupon's detail page.
- {merchant_name}: Merchant's name.
- {merchant_logo}: Image path to merchant's logo. You need to put this tag into a <img> HTML tag, otherwise image is not displayed. For example: <img src="{merchant_logo}"/>.
- Sort coupons by: Coupons's ordering.
- Sample user: If you have special coupons which are only available to a specific access level group, you can select a user who are not in this access level group so that special coupons will not be insert in newsletter.
- Max coupon returned: Limit how many coupons are displayed at max.
In ACYMailing's newsletter, you can use this tag to insert a single coupon: {cmcouponlistingordering:Y}. "X" is the ID of the category you want to get coupons from, "Y" is the ordering number of coupon in the list of coupons returned from the plug-in.
For example, if your "Max coupon returned" is 5, and you want to get coupons from category ID 1, you can use the following tags:
{cmcouponlistingordering:1}
{cmcouponlistingordering:2}
{cmcouponlistingordering:3}
{cmcouponlistingordering:4}
{cmcouponlistingordering:5}
If there are only 4 coupons found in this category, the last tag is replaced by nothing, so your newsletter template is not broken.
