With the wordpress cart, can I use a content region specific to a category as in the php version?

I've set up a content region for category 40 as:

Region Name = catcontentregion40

How would I format the shortcode on the Wordpress product details page?

Is there a way to make the content region display in the long description instead of at the top or bottom of the page?

That would be for instance...

[ect_contentregion regionid="catcontentregion40"]

I added this to my WP Product Details page, but it doesn't work... nothing shows on the product detail page.

[ect_contentregion regionid=catcontentregion40]
[ect_proddetail]

If I add this:
[ect_contentregion regionid=1]
[ect_proddetail]

The content region 1 does show at the top product detail page between the page title and the bread crumb menu, but I assume it won't be specific to product category 40.

Hi Sharon
I do apologize but I wasn't thinking properly last night. If you want to use catcontentregion40 you have to use that as part of the detail page layout. Can you set that parameter in your includes.php file? These would be the defaults for the layouts 1, 2 and 3...

// Layout 1 $GLOBALS['detailpagelayout']="navigation,productimage,productname,discounts,listprice, price,currency,instock,reviewstarslarge,shortdescription,options,addtocartquant,productid, manufacturer,sku,dateadded,description,previousnext, searchwords,socialmedia,reviews";

// Layout 2 $GLOBALS['detailpagelayout']="navigation,productimage,reviewstarslarge,productname, discounts,shortdescription,listprice,price,currency,instock,productid,manufacturer,sku, dateadded,options,addtocartquant,description,previousnext, searchwords,socialmedia,reviews";

// Layout 3 $GLOBALS['detailpagelayout']="navigation,productname,discounts,productimage,instock, reviewstarslarge,shortdescription,productid,manufacturer,sku,dateadded,listprice,price, currency,options,addtocartquant,description,previousnext, searchwords,socialmedia,reviews";

Ok, I'm using product detail page layout 1. In WP-Customize ETC Theme Options, I changed Layout Definitions to use the vsadmin/includes.php file.

I edited the includes file product detail page parameters as follows and have tried various ways to put in the catcontent region field, but nothing is working for it, so how should it be typed in?

// Layout 1 - Product Detail Page
$GLOBALS['detailpagelayout']="navigation,[blue]catcontentregion40[/blue],productimage,productname,productid,discounts,listprice,price,currency,reviewstarslarge,options,addtocartquant,dateadded,description,previousnext,searchwords,socialmedia,reviews";

I kept playing and figured something out. I had the category set to 40, but that was a category that could only have other categories added. I changed the category name to catcontentregion37 which is my All Painting Patterns category with products in it, and changed the parameter in the layout to simply 'catcontentregion' and it is working!
