Version 2.0 adds some improvements to the MIX feature which can make a big difference if used correctly. Here they are:
- You can now use {auction:x} (replace x with a number!) inside any other template option in order to insert x eBay auctions into every post, instead of just one like previously. So if you add {auction:3} to the end of the Amazon module’s template option each Amazon product post will contain three eBay auctions at the end. You do need to have the eBay module installed for this to work.
- Use {image:keyword} (“keyword” being any keyword of your choice) in your templates to add an image about keyword to your posts – instead of an image about the keyword the post was made for when you only use {image}. This can be especially useful if you have a niche site with very targeted keywords for which no images exist on Flickr. Say, there were no images on Flickr for “red dog collar” (can’t think of a good example right now). You could then use {image:dog} to simply display generic images of dogs in your posts. You do need to have the Flickr module installed for this to work.
Exception: RSS Module
Since the RSS module has no keywords associated with it, the MIX feature works slightly different for it:
- Using {image} won’t work. You have to use {image:keyword}
- Using {auction} or {auction:x} won’t work, you have to use {auction:keyword}
