make the SOLD OUT button clickable so people can Contact me about the product?

[daneh]

I have replaced my SOLD OUT button with one that says PLEASE CONTACT US. It is still named button_sold_out_sm.gif. I found that I was losing customers because of the SOLD OUT button. Now they can contact me to find out when the item will be back in stock.

My question is...can I make that image a clickable button that takes them to the contact page? It would save them a step in finding the contact page themselves.

You could edit includes/functions/functions_general.php.

You will find the code around line 1139. All you would need to do is use the call for price code copied to the sold out case section.

This will be a hard coded patch so BACKUP!!!!!!.

Hello Mr.Skip

Wow! I made it!! Thank you very much.
For reference for people this is what I did.

change the line
-----
$return_button = zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_SOLD_OUT, BUTTON_SOLD_OUT_ALT);
-----
to
-----
$return_button = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_SOLD_OUT, BUTTON_SOLD_OUT_ALT). '</a>';
-----

Thanks again for great help!
