Ask A Question

[characterdriven]

I recall something in the mod's instructions that said you had to place some code
to use buttons rather than text. Did you make that change?

Took a look at all the instructions and I noticed this time that there was a line missing from the 'readme' file so did some research and added the code that was needed. Now I'm getting two 'ask a question about this product' links without hyphens...and without the image showing up. I obvious added another line of code while going through the 'readme' again methodically, yet overzealously. That I can find and resolve easily enough, but I am still baffled about the image not showing up.

You followed these instructions:

Assuming your template name is "custom":

a) copy the button image into includes/templates/custom/buttons/english
(create this directory if it doesn't exist).

b) create includes/languages/english/custom/button_names.php if you have not
already done so,
from includes/languages/english/button_names.php

Add the lines
define('BUTTON_IMAGE_ASK_A_QUESTION','button_ask_question.gif');
define('BUTTON_ASK_A_QUESTION_ALT', 'Ask a question');

to this file.

Then, in tpl_product_info_display.php, your code would be:

<div id="askQuestion" class="biggerText">
<?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ASK_A_QUESTION, 'products_id='
. $_GET['products_id']) . '">' .
zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_ASK_A_QUESTION, BUTTON_ASK_A_QUESTION_ALT) .
'</a>'; ?></div>
<br />
<br class="clearBoth" />


AND, you deleted the code for "text": ask a question?

I've got this mod to the point where a link appears with 'ask a question about this product', but can't seem to get the image to appear. Have added image as directed so not sure what else to try.

First let me apologize if this has been asked before... I have searched the thread and can't find what I need.

I just installed AAQ and I don't seem to be able to get it to work. I don't see anything different on any of the product info pages. Basically I don't see any changes to the software at all. No image file or anything like that.

I have followed the instructions as well as I can. The last entry in the readme file said to insert some code but it was not specific about where it should be inserted. This might be where I am having problems.

This mod seems like it is just what I am looking for so I would really appreciate any help.

thanks...

The default installation assumes your template is named "custom" - is it? If not, you'll need to move the template and button files under your template.

Hi and thanks for the reply. Yes, I renamed the template name in the zip file to match the name of my custom template.

Ok... after some digging and scratching I have now got the mod to the point where it displays a "text" link for "ask a question". All I need to do now is get the image to work... If anyone has any ideas, please let me know... I will be working on it.

Update: I found the "ask a question" sidebox and tried that. It is working good so I am going to stick with that for now. If anyone knows how to get the image to work in the first AAQ I would like to know.

thanks all

Ask A Question 1.8 has just been posted to the download area - easier installation, only one file to edit. Hope this is helpful.

I've just upgraded my cart to 1.3.8 and installed Ask a Question. It seems to be sending fine but the email is not being received. Any suggestions on what to check?

Thanks.
