Ask A Question

[dharma]

thanks ,,I've tried it a few times now and it never works for me ..weird

did you try the above link and change both files?

/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_ask_a_question_default.php
/includes/modules/pages/ask_a_question/header.php

[Kevin205]

This is a good idea. Another thing you might do is add ask_a_question to the list ROBOTS_PAGES_TO_SKIP in includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php.

Hello Scott - Since product name and image are being pulled and displayed, is it hard to code so it would pull the Meta tags for that product as well?

[swguy]

It wouldn't be hard to do but I don't understand why you think this would be a good idea.

[Kevin205]

Some search engines are ignoring both robots.txt and ROBOTS_PAGES_TO_SKIP.

Since they are ignoring the above, and are indexing these pages anyway, lets give them what they are looking for, the metas!

I hope I am making sense. Thanks.

Scott - Would you please give a direction. Thanks

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.
