Ask A Question

When I did it in my cart, the button did not say, "Ask a Question" (I didn't use the supplied button), so I had to add some link text - but I forgot to delete this when I posted the solution. Thanks to Phid for noticing this - but he has missed one problem line (the extra div). The correct code is

<div id="askQuestion" class="biggerText">
<?php
echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ASK_A_QUESTION, 'products_id=' . $_GET['products_id']) . '">' .
zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_ASK_A_QUESTION, BUTTON_ASK_A_QUESTION_ALT) . '</a>'; ?>
</div>
<br />
<br class="clearBoth" />

Thanks,
Scott

Actually I saw that extra div and had to delete it from my page because it was messing things up. I guess I wasn't totally sure if it was a problem specific to my site because of the special formatting I'm doing. Regardless, it now looks good and the button is appearing.

P.S. in the contrib I downloaded only yesterday or the day before there were no button instructions included....only a reference to "Alternately, you may use the button provided."

Just downloaded the latest version (1.3.5) and button directions were there on l. 84-113. Are you sure you didn't download an old copy? This one has been up since 09/23.

In the next round, I will add the documentation fixes you have suggested.

Thanks,
Scott

Hey there. I've install this module before and don't think I've had this problem, but the TEXT AREA is covering up the "Your question/message/whatever" bit. I feel like I've seen something about this before on the forums, but all I could find was about the Tell A Friend module and it was a different problem. Any ideas?

Ok...I'm stuck.

This mod is great....exactly what I was hoping for....

There's only one problem...when I click the "Ask a Question" button, I get:

where "xxxxx" of course is the rest of the server path....

I've checked that particular directory and the files ARE in fact there....I'm wondering if I may have missed something? Can anyone shed any light on what my little brain cramp may have been??

Thanks so much!!!!

Nevermind.....figured out what I did wrong...was my own stupidity....

One of those :lamo: moments

rvagrrl, I notice you have <br class="clearBoth" /> after your textarea for message input
and you're not using float:left on it. I would change these things.

Good luck,
Scott

I just tried to add to the CSS:

Code:

---

textarea{
clear: both;
}

---

And that seems the fix rvagrrl's problem.

Paulm, are you using the FF Web Developer extension? How did you perform this test? (I know you have a lot of knowledge in this area, and others would benefit from hearing how you figure this sort of stuff out. )

Thanks,
Scott

Yep

By using the web developer extension and editting the CSS (press Ctrl+Shift+e but I assume you already knew about this feature?).

:-) Very nice to hear that. :blush:

More in general it's:

1.) Reading two books about CSS (written by Eric meyer)

2.) Years of trail and error (which is still going on). Not very scientific, I know ;-)

3.) Using tools (approx. 90% using the formentioned web developer tool, 5% using HTML kit (copying and pasting and preview HTML source), 2% using HTML validators and 3% using other tools).
