Template Variables

If you wish to specify a custom template you may need to know more about the variables that are available.

The template system used is called Twig and is fairly simple to use. The variables available to the template are:

• items contains and array of objects. Each object is a single product.
  • item.link the full URL to the Zazzle product.
  • item.title the title of the Zazzle product.
  • item.content the full URL to the large product image.
  • item.thumbnail the full URL to the small product image.
  • item.price the price of the product including currency symbol.
• per_row the number of items that have been requested per row.
• pagination the output of the ZedPressPagination class. The pagination, ready to go.
• new_window is a boolean that represents if the option to open links in a new window has been selected.

Important to note is that each property of items will only be available when looping through the array. The raw filter is required to be used on the output of the title as Zazzle provides it with the HTML and any entities already escaped. The same applies to the output of Pagination. escape('html_attr') is used to make sure the title can be output to the image alt attribute without breaking it.

For more information on Twig please check out their documentation. The version of Twig used is version 1.x to help with PHP compatibility as version 2.x is restricted to PHP version 7.0 which not all servers are running yet.
