Popup Window Via Text Link (Instead Of Image Link)

[Nickster99]

I've searched in the downloads section for this mod, it looks to be just what I'm after. I couldn't seem to find it though. Can you let me know whether its up yet and what its called so that I can search for it? Cheers, Nick

N,
I have not submitted this tiny little mod yet to the downloads

1. Answering too many questions on Zen Forum
2. I will take the time this week for the submittal..

For those that may be wondering about my end of it... I never could get it to work for some reason. I'm running 1.3.8 (or whatever the newest one is- I think it's that) and I couldn't get it to work even on a fresh install that had no mods anywhere. No idea why. I'm sure there's something somewhere that I don't know about, but who knows. I even made sure everything had the right CHMOD. Anyway, if anyone else has that problem, here's how I solved it:

When creating the Option Name that will essentially need the popup (or if it's already created, just edit it) I put a link in the comments section of it that says View Examples. See this page for an example of what I'm talking about: http://accessory-avenue.com/hbhcatal...products_id=66

It works, but there are a couple of things about it:
1. The character limit for the comments area isn't that much, so the href link needs to be somewhat short, along with the wording you choose for your actual link.
2. For some reason, the comments section does NOT like quotation marks, so I just left them out. Write your link like you normally would but without the quotation marks.
3. Unfortunately, between reason 1. and 2., I couldn't get javascript to work, so I couldn't do a popup that way. I just had to use target=_blank.
4. Since you've used this space for the link and the character limit isn't that much, you don't really have room to write an actual comment along with your link if you need one, which kind of sucks.

BUT... it solved my problem, since this awesome mod wouldn't work for me, for some strange reason.

CelticKatt,
The time and effort a person spends on designing, editing and creating the .php code for any mod to work is beneficial for Zen Cart & the Forum.

Yes, you were the first to test this mod in its virgin stage.

1. yes we had complications
2. I did my best to resolve your issues
3. I have tested the mod with MSHUTCH, and works perfectly
4. I have tested the mod on two sites I have designed and works perfectly
5. I just received another post for the mod files and waiting on an email
6. I am still in the testing stage for this mod to work effeciently.

Sorry it could not work for you, but boy now your products page looks clean and uncluttered by the orginal attribute pictures you had installed

Haredo,
Sorry it took so long to reply. I'm supposed to get instant emails when someone posts a reply here and didn't (I have that issue a lot, actually.) I should have thanked you for all your efforts to help me out- sorry I didn't actually do that! I still don't know what the deal was and it sucks that I can't use this mod, but it IS a great mod and I'm glad that other people are getting it to work properly. That's awesome. I would definitely recommend your mod to people, and if for some crazy reason they can't get it to work like I couldn't, then my alternative works out too. No matter what though, the page definitely does look better without all the attribute image clutter!

Thanks again!!!

Just take your time and duplicate the files..
The hard one is the tpl_modules_attributes.php

1. the lime green text has to be changed to match your subcategory name
2. and of course that dang .
3. Worked like a charm on a site I built.....
4. And the beauty, Did you Notice: No core files were written on!!!!!!

Hi haredo,

Great contribution.

Mine isn't working at all and need your kind help please. ( BTW is the mod ready ? and what is it called?)

Can please clarify this.
In ' 1. the lime green text has to be changed to match your subcategory name' I suppose I put my category name if I do not have any 'Sub Category' - would that be correct? and what happens if the category is called 'Amazing DVD's' ? will the ' 's' cause any problems?

I have substitute the following names/words. will they cause any problems as I can not see any changes after the uploads.

popup_monogram_style.php >popup_image_size.php
define('FILENAME_POPUP_MONOGRAM_STYLE', 'popup_monogram_style'); > define('FILENAME_POPUP_IMAGE_SIZE', 'popup_image_size');
define('HEADING_MONOGRAM_STYLE', 'MONOGRAM STYLES') > define('HEADING_IMAGE_SIZE', 'IMAGE SIZE')

and did the same for every other substitution 'MONOGRAM_STYLE' > 'IMAGE SIZE'

popup_monogram_style/tpl_main_page.php >
popup_image_size/tpl_main_page.php

And commented out the extra attibutes out as below.

if (preg_match("/Amazing DVD's/i", $options_name[$i]))
{
$guideLink = '<a href="javascriptpopupWindowPrice(\'' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_POPUP_IMAGE_SIZE) . '\')">(<u>Read Image Size Requirement</u>)</a>';
}
//else if (preg_match("/engraving typestyle/i", $options_name[$i]))
//{
//$guideLink = '<a href="javascriptpopupWindowPrice(\'' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_POPUP_ ENGRAVING_TYPESTYLE) . '\')">(<u>Read Image Size Requirement</u>)</a>';

//}
//else if (preg_match("/embroidery typestyle/i", $options_name[$i]))
//{
//$guideLink = '<a href="javascriptpopupWindowPrice(\'' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_POPUP_ EMBROIDERY_TYPESTYLE) . '\')">(<u>Read Image Size Requirement</u>)</a>';

//}
else
$guideLink = null;
// Image attribute add on ends //////////////////////
?>

Hello haredo,
This mod seems like exactly what I need. I've been trying to figure out all the different ways posted on the site, but still not sure what's the best way to go. Would it be easier to manage if I created these as html pages and called them from an EZ-Page? Would I still need to update all the php pages with custom code? I really have to find a solution and I am totally confused about the best route. Thanks!

[haredo]

Mom,
I emailed you a zip file of the tiny mod.
Please respond and let me know how she worked..
