Ask A Question

[torvista]

I have just started to get spam email through this so I switched it off.

Has anyone added any anti-spam code to it they could share before I do it?

Medium Product Image

I want to display 'Medium' product image instead of the default 'Small' image in the 'Ask a Question' contact page.

Here's what I have in tpl_ask_a_question_default.php :

<?php echo '<br/><br/><CENTER><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($_GET['products_id']), 'products_id=' . $_GET['products_id']) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $product_info->fields['products_image'], $product_info->fields['products_name'], 250, 250) . '</a></CENTER>'; ?>

How can I change above to pull the 'Medium' product image?

Thanks in advance.

For what it's worth, I recently submitted an update to this plugin to be more compatible with ZC 1.5.x, to apply applicable data sanitization, and to take advantage of the bot checks implemented in ZC 1.5.1.

I should have provided notification of submission, but that's come and gone. It is now available for download. It does not address other things like the recent discussion of images.

How can I place the ask a question on each item when items are displayed in a category? So that users don't have to click on the item then ask a question, they can simply do it from the item's listing in category view

https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....65#post1313665

[mc12345678]

"Category" view is provided through tpl_product_listing_default. It takes a little bit to add a submit button as an individually controlled object, but the code provided in the readme can be applied anywhere the button is to be placed provided the appropriate products_id information is available.

I'm so sorry this didn't get sent sooner, I began the reply when the question was asked, and even pressed the submit button; however, where I was had a bad signal so it didn't go through. I was just now going through extra windows and chased down the thread number to realize this.

I have just started to get spam email through this so I switched it off.

Has anyone added any anti-spam code to it they could share before I do it?

I've used one of the Captcha's with Ask a Question for years. But I recently got rid of captcha when someone mentioned under the Hack/Security thread that putting up with some spam/jibberish is better than putting captcha in front of customers. I don't know, though. I'm going to upgrade to 1.5 soon and will look a the css thing that supposedly tricks spam, but has nothing in the way of real customers.

...maybe its me but I am finding Captchas getting more difficult lately.
offtopic article here this week with some alternative ideas:

Having read the majority of the posts on this thread I realise that a number of others have had problems with Ask a Question being flagged as duplicate content & titles by Google webmaster tools.
The problem is I have over 1000 warnings associated with this (examples below) and dont want to remove the mod as its good for customers.

Ask a Question | Mug Shop
http://www.mug-shop.co.uk/index.php?...oducts_id=1000
http://www.mug-shop.co.uk/index.php?...oducts_id=1003

As far as I can tell no one has come up with a solution to this problem as yet, so I was thinking of trying to use the robots.txt file to Disallow: /*ask_a_question so that bots would not crawl anything with ask_a_question in the url string.

Anyone know if this will work or got an alternative?
