Hello Peter.
I have this snippet
it referrs to (calls) another snippet
If you see my homepage it does not render correctly. I have used this technique in my other website.
Also, there are 3 snippets configured to be inserted in the head tag but its not working
zoho-salesiq
zoho-pagesense
zoho-marketing-automation

It is probably due to the system plugin ordering. Try changing the ordering of the plugins in question.

You have not set up any variables in the snippets yet.
See: docs4.regularlabs.com/snippets/going-fur...ing-dynamic-snippets

Thanks Pete. Thats a new mechanism I didnt know about.
So look at this:
See snippet "button-call"
1) it pulls in snippets
- phone-number-main
- phone-number-main-display
2) then it passes variables to "button-model"
Then look at the homepage and you will see the button rendering fine, but the url is messed up

You are trying to nest snippets inside snippets inside snippets. Not sure why you would want to do it all like this.
I have set the phone number and phone number display values as defaults for the 2 variables in button-call.
That means you don't need the 2 snippets 'phone-number-main' and 'phone-number-main-display' separately.
This works and I hope it fits your needs.

HA! Im testing your architecture!
The reason is that I use snippets for a single source of information....like a tree structure.
Phone numbers change, names change...I like to have a single place to change it all. Thats why.
Maybe you can provide a way to standardize this for certain global values like:
company
-name
-address
----------
main
----------
-page url
-phone
-email
----------
support
----------
-page url
-phone
-email
----------
sales
----------
-page url
-phone
-email

What is NOT working are the snippets that go into the head. They are not rendering
[%snippet script-zoho-salesiq%]
[%snippet script-zoho-pagesense%]
[%snippet script-zoho-marketing-automation%]
I put them in the index.php template file

That all depends on in what way do you want to use this in your content.
Do you plan to have multiple snippets for every section?
Are these all to be used for the contact button?

Regarding the snippets in the head... enable the "Enable in html head" setting in the items.

Hey Pete.
RE snippets usage--------------------
Yes I am trying to standardize everything as a practice. When I want a call button I would just select the snippet I made [%snippet call-button%] which would pull in the same href, display number, icon, etc etc. If I wanted to change the phone number across the website (happens all the time now because of spam and 10DLC) I would just change the number and the number display....no more hunting and searching and verifying and replacing.
RE snippets in head------------------
I did what you suggested. but they are not showing up
This plugin save me YEARS of time! Thanks!

But will you have more than 1 snippet using the same phone number?
So apart from just a call-button?
Jonathan Asbell
Jonathan Asbell
No just 1 number. The display and at times the tel:// link would be in the footer, in content, anywhere. That way I dont have to hunt it down. Wherever it is is where it replaces, and I wont be accidentally making mistakes like with REReplacer. I would have 1 with just the number and another with the number and link
Jonathan Asbell
Jonathan Asbell
I dont even understand how the number is displaying when the snippets for the number and link are off

Let's tackle 1 issue at the time.
So the structure of the snippets.. check the Variables tab of the button-call snippet.
Jonathan Asbell

Ok I saw what you did. Only issue is that it is hardcoding that default. I would NEVER remember where to find that its so buried =). But I understand. Honestly I would like to set it up so that the number value and the number display are each their own snippet. That would be my preference.
The bigger problem is the sippets in the <head> tag

I recommend against nesting the snippets that way. Probably better to do the main stuff via ReReplacer (the handling of the tags), and output the HTML with Snippet tags inside with that (which will output the phone numbers and such).
The n you could also simply do something like:Instead of:
Regarding the snippets in the head (which I would also recommend ReReplacer for, but whatever you want...)
Where can I find where you placed the Snippet tags?

Thanks Pete. I had them in the index.php in my child theme but took them out because it didnt work
