Ask A Question

[swguy]

I was disappointed when the mod "Ask A Question" wasn't included in 1.3, so I decided to integrate it myself. It's now listed as a contribution here:

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=206

It doesn't use the database entries that the previous one did; it just reuses the email settings that Contact Us uses.

I hope other people find this as useful as I did!

PS> Unfortunately, I did not create a graphic button for it, which I think would be a great addition; if someone out there has the time and inclination to do so, I would happily include this in an update.

Great Mod, got it installed...
However for multy languages I tried replacing:

<b><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ASK_A_QUESTION, 'products_id=' . $_GET['products_id']) . '">Ask a Question about this product</a>'; ?></b>

with this:
<b><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ASK_A_QUESTION, 'products_id=' . $_GET['products_id']) . '"><?php echo ASK_A_QUESTION; ?></a>'; ?></b>

But did not work...obviously my php sucks..*lol*

PS Yes I did:
define('ASK_A_QUESTION', 'Ask a Question about this Product');
in the language files I needed....

Should replace with:
<b><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ASK_A_QUESTION, 'products_id=' . $_GET['products_id']) . '">'.ASK_A_QUESTION.'</a>'; ?></b>

works fine now.....

The readme file should say

<b><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ASK_A_QUESTION, 'products_id=' . $_GET['products_id']) . '">' . ASK_A_QUESTION . '</a>'; ?></b>


and the file ./includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/ask_a_question_defines.php

should be

<?php

define('ASK_A_QUESTION', 'Ask a question about this product');

?>

I will fix this next time I upload. I'm still hoping some nice person will make a button! :)

Scott-

Just to clarify, the edit recommended below is a replacement for the edit recommended in the readme for includes\templates\TYOUR_TEMAPLATE\templates\tpl_product_info_display.php

The readme file should say

<b><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ASK_A_QUESTION, 'products_id=' . $_GET['products_id']) . '">' . ASK_A_QUESTION . '</a>'; ?></b>

and the file
/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/ask_a_question_defines.php
should include:

define('ASK_A_QUESTION', 'Ask a question about this product');

Also can you not incorporate the button Marg bundled with her previous version?

And is your updated version known to work on all versions of Zen Cart 1.3x. And does it work on previous 1.2x versions? Hope so as I see Marg's version is no longer available in download area.

I like your new leaner more efficient design and works well on v.1.3.0.2 (fresh install). Nice job.

This is prolly a cool mod. I installed it did the editing and well zip nothing. Is this just me or something to do with the version of zencart?
I am hopeless....

You may want to hire someone to install it for you.

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?
