Support » Plugin: Magento Wordpress Integration » best practice? -> replace default magento's product detail view

  • i want to get rid of magento’s product view pages. i successfully created a wordpress page which fetches magento products from a specific category using the mwi addon. but it creates links which redirects to magento product view detail page. it would be nice to have a “virtual” wordpress page which contains mwi shortcode displaying all product properties with “add to cart” button. so the list will redirect to that wp page instead. that’s the only part of the page which leads to the cart of magento which is fine. but everything else should keep in wordpress environment. any ideas on this?

    one thought: i could create a page in WP – for every product. and in every page i use the shortcode plugin. but then i have to create the products twice. in magento and in wordpress. makes no sense if you have hundreds of products. therefore i had that idea with a “virtual wp page” and running that shortcodes on template layer like
    echo do_shortcode( '[mwi_cat_listing show="3" cat='.$category_id.' view_product="false" show_desc="true"]' );

    the listing can be archieved with wp_query. i think it would be a pretty neat idea. but just want to ask you before trying 🙂

    Should you not use something like WooCoomerce instead of Magento in this instance?
