eBook 'Look Inside' feature?

Is it possible do you (or anyone else) know to have the window resize automatically to the size of the image? That would make this little mod 100% perfect

Have not needed so have not done. You might find the lightbox mod a better solution to deal with images.

Okay, thanks for the tip, for future installations I'll bear it in mind, but for this present site I am doing yours is just fine, so thanks again

hi Skipwater,

love your fix for this. exactly what I'm looking for. BUT I'm a newbie! I've created a folder (pdf_files) within my Includes folder, uploaded by abbreviated pdf file to it, created the pop-up.php within my common folder. my template does not have the html_header.php folder but does have tpl_header.php wherein I placed your line of code "<?php include("popup.php"); ?> " just before the </div> command near the end of the file. then I used your code as the link in my product description, substituting the path to it as follows:

<a href="/public_html/pdf_files/AncientEpicuresPreview.pdf" class="popup">CLICK HERE for a look inside</a>

yet when I click on the link, I get a 404 error file not found.

can you tell what I'm doing wrong? is my placement of the include code in the wrong place within the tpl_header file? sure appreciate any assist you can give!

hi Skipwater,

I've created a folder (pdf_files) within my Includes folder, uploaded by abbreviated pdf file to it

<a href="/public_html/pdf_files/AncientEpicuresPreview.pdf" class="popup">CLICK HERE for a look inside</a>

yet when I click on the link, I get a 404 error file not found.

You are requesting the file from /public_html/pdf_files/AncientEpicuresPreview.pdf

But you say your file is here? /public_html/includes/pdf_files/AncientEpicuresPreview.pdf


<a href="/public_html/includes/pdf_files/AncientEpicuresPreview.pdf" class="popup">CLICK HERE for a look inside</a>

oops! I lied. the pdf_files folder is not within the "includes" folder. it is a folder within public_html

You have saved popup.php into this folder
/includes/templates/template_default/common/popup.php

And you added this code

<?php include("popup.php"); ?>

into /includes/templates/template_default/common/html_header.php

<?php include("popup.php"); ?> 
</head>
<?php // NOTE: Blank line following is intended: ?>

template has no html_header.php folder but does have tpl_header.php wherein I placed your line of code "<?php include("popup.php"); ?> " just before the </div> command near the end of the file. is this a good place for it?

are you saying that b/c I placed popup.php in the includes folder, the pdf folder needs to be in the includes folder, as well?

sure appreciate your advice! and I sure don't understand why they have not yet included this "look inside" as part of the whole package yet. everyone wants to "look inside"
