CSS3 Buttons [support thread]

[lat9]

Here's an update to the zenCssButton function (in /includes/functions/html_output.php) that allows the individual buttons to be styled and also simplifies the HTML generated for the "normal_buttons".

/**
 * generate CSS buttons in the current language
 * concept from contributions by Seb Rouleau and paulm, subsequently adapted to Zen Cart
 * note: any hard-coded buttons will not be able to use this function
**/
  function zenCssButton($image = '', $text, $type, $sec_class = '', $parameters = '') {
   global $css_button_text, $css_button_opts, $template, $current_page_base, $language;
   
   $button_name = basename($image, '.gif');
   
    // automatic width setting depending on the number of characters
//    $min_width = 80; // this is the minimum button width, change the value as you like
//    $character_width = 6.5; // change this value depending on font size!
    // end settings
    // added html_entity_decode function to prevent html special chars to be counted as multiple characters (like &)
//    $width = strlen(html_entity_decode($text)) * $character_width;
//    $width = (int)$width;
//    if ($width < $min_width) $width = $min_width;
//    $style = ' style="width: ' . $width . 'px;"';
    // if no secondary class is set use the image name for the sec_class
    if (empty($sec_class)) $sec_class = $button_name;
    if(!empty($sec_class)) $sec_class = ' ' . $sec_class;
    if(!empty($parameters))$parameters = ' ' . $parameters;
    $mouse_out_class  = 'cssButton ' . (($type == 'submit') ? 'submit_button button ' : 'normal_button button ') . $sec_class; /*v1.0.2c*/
    $mouse_over_class = 'cssButtonHover ' . (($type == 'button') ? 'normal_button button ' : '') . $sec_class . $sec_class . 'Hover'; /*v1.0.2c*/
    // javascript to set different classes on mouseover and mouseout: enables hover effect on the buttons
    // (pure css hovers on non link elements do work work in every browser)
    $css_button_js .=  'onmouseover="this.className=\''. $mouse_over_class . '\'" onmouseout="this.className=\'' . $mouse_out_class . '\'"';
    
    if (CSS_BUTTON_POPUPS_IS_ARRAY == 'true') {
      $popuptext = (!empty($css_button_text[$button_name])) ? $css_button_text[$button_name] : ($button_name . CSSBUTTONS_CATALOG_POPUPS_SHOW_BUTTON_NAMES_TEXT);
      $tooltip = ' title="' . $popuptext . '"';
    } else {
      $tooltip = '';
    }
    $css_button = ''; /*v1.0.2a*/

    if ($type == 'submit'){
// form input button
      $css_button = '<input class="' . $mouse_out_class . '" ' . $css_button_js . ' type="submit" value="' .$text . '"' . $tooltip . $parameters . ' />';
    }

    if ($type=='button'){
// link button
//      $css_button .= '<span class="normal_button button"><span class="' . $mouse_out_class . '" ' . $css_button_js . $tooltip . ' >&nbsp;' . $text . '&nbsp;</span></span>'; 
      $css_button = '<span class="normal_button button ' . $mouse_out_class . '" ' . $css_button_js . $tooltip . ' >&nbsp;' . $text . '&nbsp;</span>'; /*v1.0.2c*/
    }
    return $css_button;
  }

To have a different background color for button_sold_out_sm, you'll need to add to your stylesheet_css_buttons.css something like:

span.normal_button.button_sold_out_sm {
  background-color: blue;
}
span.normal_button.button_sold_out_smHover {
  background-color: red;
}

Note that these statements should be placed at the end of the file and the 'hover' styling must come after the regular version.

I'll be submitting v1.0.2 to the plugins area shortly.
