In page links

[steveyork136]

Hope someone can help me?, hope I can explain my problem properly!

I'm trying to create inpage links (name Anchors) on my Product Info page.

I've added the named anchors to my tpl_product_info_display.php page, and I've managed to get the first part of the URL, to return to the correct page.

/index.php?main_page=product_info/(missing this bit) #pagetop

but I can't get the middle bit, the product info path

e.g
&cPath=1_9&products_id=26


Does anyone have any suggestions??


ADDED

After a bit more work I've come up with this

<?php
echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link( "product_info&cPath=$cPath&",'products_id=' . $_GET['products_id']) . '#pagetop" >Page Top</a>';?>

Is this code OK? it works and everything seems OK, I can add products to cart and the links work etc, but I would like a more experieced coder to have a look and make sure its OK!!

This would be more correct, but is only a minor change:

<?php
echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link( 'product_info', 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&amp;products_id=' . $_GET['products_id']) . '#pagetop" >Page Top</a>';?>

Many Thanks DrByte.

I nearly got it right

How would this work on links within the same document, i.e. FAQs?

I have a one page document that I have in the html includes folder that is an FAQ question and answer kind of page.

I tried it with putting in the anchors the usual way as you would in an html page and it just keeps going back to the pain page when you click on a question instead of moving to the spot in the same page that has the answer.

For example, before a question I have:

<a href="#difference" class="questions">

and before the answer I have:

<a name="difference">repeat the question text here</a>


Thank You,

Betty

Might be an easier way but this works

<a href="./index.php?main_page=page_2#difference" class="questions">Link here</a>

Best check this and make sure it works if customers logged in or has stuff in their cart

oops forgot,

change the "page_2" bit to your page name

I've just tried this code and had to change the &amp; to the actual & symbol. Otherwise it wouldn't work!

Have I done something wrong?

Betty's simple named anchors code should work, the reason it doesn't however is because of zen cart's handling of links.
because zen cart uses a <base> tag, all relative links are relative to that base rather than the current document. it's so all the links to included css and js files are simpler but it ruins simple in-page links like those.

zen cart would be better off making all relative links relate to the site root e.g
href="/some/path/"
rather than
href="some/path/"

i used a quick fix where the catalogue was not in a subfolder of the site,
in includes/template/your_template/common/html_header.php comment out the <base> tag, ensure there is a / after the first " of each stylesheets' href and the javascripts' src attributes.

i am working on a proper fix for it so zen-cart can avoid that awful <base> tag

This fits exactly what I was going to ask today. I also have a FAQ page that I had anchors for but that didn't work. Has the solution presented in the entry above mine been finalized and it works?
