pop-up window or javascipt:; help ?

[dandownunder]

Hi guys, I have a question for you. I am trying to get links to open a new window to a set size (like the javascript:; function) but using the javascrpit one is a pain as a lot of peoples computers don't allow pop-up windows to open, I want to know what it is the Zen shopping cart uses to load up another window with the same colour of the website in the background(when you have an image of your product and you can 'click to enlarge') ? can anyone help ?
Would appreciate any input/ideas

Cheers
Dan.

Does anyone know ? I noticed on a website today that they used pop-ups and had the code 'javascript:void(0)' appeared and it worked. But normal 'javascript:;' doesn't work, any help or ideas ????

Am lost
Cheers

The shipping estimator in the shopping cart and the "larger image" code for product images both use javascript to open and configure the popup window. Most popup blockers are smart enough to allow popups that are built entirely from the current site. Since all the data in these windows originates from the same site as the link, the blocker doesn't complain. I use the Firefox popup blocker without any problems with these features on Zen Cart sites.

If you want to see how to make these popups, take a look at...

includes/modules/pages/shopping_cart/jscript_main.php
to see the actual popup window function

and

includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default.php
to see that JavaScript implemented.

Hi Frank, thanks for the information. What part of the code can I put into my website ? and how would I go about putting it in ? as a Javascript ? have you done it ?

My browser doesn't allow pop-ups, but my Zen shop pop ups (view larger images etc) work fine, it's the ones that call for javascrip:; that don't.

Cheers

Okay, I've been trying to make our conditions page a popup from the create account page. I've been using the shipping estimator popup as a guide, but I'm really confused.

The shipping estimator popup refers to modules/shipping_estimator.php, which seems unneeded since i just want to include the text on the conditions page, i.e. no special code like this.

In template_default/popup_shipping_estimator.php, it requires this file:

<?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory('shipping_estimator.php')); ?>

This shipping_estimator.php is full of code that allows the shipping to be estimated.

How do I just popup a simple text page like the conditions page? Do I need to create a modules/conditions.php or am I on the wrong track here?

Any help very much appreciated!

Okay, I got it to popup the conditions page, but it's the full conditions page, with the header and sideboxes!

I want to remove those so it's just the conditions text in the center column.

Anybody know what I don't?

did anyone figure this out yet? I want to have some of my defined pages pop up in a window minus all the sideboxes and header and footer as well.

Example, to have my about page in a popup similar to the shipping estimator.

when you click to make the image larger it opens another full sized window is there a way to open a smaller window?
