It Worked, It Worked
Guess I'll go back to donating again...LOL....

That sounds like a good straightforward solution.

Remember that any link that leaves the site could close the session and dump the user's cart.

Really?
That's not good...okay, gotta find another option again....

If the new page is the same site, it doesnt matter. If not you can always use target="_blank" so the page will open in a new window.

Well, all you have to do is to be creative.

What I did was: make the field name longer (in the database), then insert the link directly to the name.

Example:
http://eazy-templates.com/web-templa...simple-seo-url (using ajax tooltip in this case tho)

I'm trying to follow your lead, as I liked how this integration worked for you, and have done the following:

- Changed Option name & attribute option name to 255 characters.
- Added the appropriate code following the option name.
- Tried adding both ajax tooltip and mootooltip, in each case I modified the .js files with the jscript_ precoursor, changed code to look for relative files in appropriate directories, added the appropriate css to the TEMPLATE/CSS/stylesheet.css, and (only moo required this) added any required script headers to html_header.php

In either case I must be missing something, because although the (?) is following the option name, and is a link when mouseovered nothing pops up.

http://www.wholesale4realtors.com/ca...roducts_id=186 is the product I am testing on, and the (?) was added after attach file. (Currently, I am leaving it with mootooltips)

I could not find a thread about how to integrate ajax tooltips, could you maybe start a thread with the steps you did to integrate it appropriately?

There is nothing special about the way we use tooltip on our site, except that we use jquery instead of mootools.
You may have to recheck your tooltip documentation for more info.

In anycase, a simpler approach is to use a href but with the targe="_blank"

Hi- Where and how, exactly do you change the
Option name & attribute option name to 255 characters?
I need larger fields for my option and arrtibute names.

Please help!
thanks

You'll need to edit the database table design in phpMyAdmin or some other database program.

Please bear in mind that the next update you do might possibly reset the table design.

In phpMyAdmin ...

Display the structure of:
products_options

Click edit on:
products_options_names

Change the Length/Values from 32 to 64 or the size you need up to 255

Then, display the structure of:
orders_products_attributes

Click edit on:
products_options

Change the Length/Values from 32 to 64 or the size you need up to 255

As a quick side-note, I did get things to work out like yellow1812's page. It took the combination the the name length change we're talking about, and I added a seperate thread at http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...t=ajax+tooltip to let people know about how to integrate ToolTip, since the thread wasn't around prior.

It did have a few funky result that I'm just working around, such as when I go back in to edit option name the code/link must be reentered each time you go into edit that option name, as well as I had an issue with the "Price updater" mod, but that was fixed mostly through the update of that mod.
