Re: i want to add a button to the product page

Have a look at the write a review or the tell a friend buttons (their code I mean) to see how they work. In fact if you're not using one of those on your site, it would be fairly easy to change what the button text says, then hard-wire a URL into it.

Getting a dynamic URL based on the product being viewed would be much harder, as would having the button appear for some products but not for others.

Re: i want to add a button to the product page

i was able to get the VOD button to populate on the individual products page with the product info, in my case its a cast list. and the cast list is pulled to the products catagory page for each item, but the code for the button doesnt. is there a way to get the button to show in this respect be caus this would be an easy way to make it work!!

Re: i want to add a button to the product page

The only brilliant idea I had was the above one. And that was only because other buttons appear on the product pages, so you have something to copy from. But those other buttons don't appear on category lists, so you're out of luck there.

Add To Cart buttons can appear on the category lists, so if you're brave you can work with that as a template. If you don't see them, turn them on via admin and have a look.
