Microdata & FlexiContent

Hi,

First off, I congratulate the developers of FlexiContent for coming up with the most versatile and most developer friendly CCK. I've tried almost all other CCKs, but due to one reason or another I had to drop them one by one, finally found FC which at first looks intimidating but after playing with for a day or 2 it looks quite developer friendly and host Soooooo many features to customize your application as you want.

I am working on a project which requires integrating MicroData or Rich Snippets of Products (product detail, rating and reviews).

I've been able to integrate product reviews code on item details page, but I need snippets for rating, product price, etc.

For rating I want total count and rating average figures, please let me know how to do that.

Also I want to know as to how I can fetch the contents of single custom filed on category and item details pages?

Thank you very much!

which one did you integrate?
if you don't want to mention publicly then send me a PM

(we are thinking of making a FLEXIcontent Content type "Review" and relating it to other types via relation field)
but to support the above a couple of enhancements need to be done to the relation field

You want of all items
- in current category view (with filtering)
- in current category view (regardless of filtering)
- in current page only (e.g. current page has 20 items)

have you looked in our FAQ ?
e.g. i think you need this
Example of calculating an aggregated field value for the items assigned to a category

Hi ggppdk,

I've been silently reading the forum threads for several days and I must appreciate your technical knowledge and support for resolving issue asap.

I am considering the following microdata on product details page:

I don't know if it is necessary to put all the required info like product name, price, URL, description, aggregate rating in one place, as mentioned above.

I am thinking to fetch (if you can tell me a way to pull them from my custom fields, selectively from DB) product name, price, URL, description, etc. from my custom fields.

Aggregate rating figures from flexicontent_items_extravote table and reviews from JComments table, as I am using Jcomments for reviews.

I think now you have a fair idea of what I want to achieve.

Regarding what I've integrated is not a significant task, I am just using the following code in the file "modular.php" to fetch total No. of comments, which can then be used as review count, using the following snippet:

- in current category view (with filtering)
- in current category view (regardless of filtering)
- in current page only (e.g. current page has 20 items)

I guess, I would like to use the second option, i.e. "in current category view (regardless of filtering)" and on item detail page.


Thanks for posting the list of api code. Is there an easy way of calling field data on pages by just using variable names, as I used to do in AdsManager.

Did you try the given above FAQ article ?

Hi,

Yes, thanks. I am working on it.
