Set up size chart not the attributes kind?

We have a jpeg with the size chart on it,
How can we link it to our website,
Like when they click on it external it will pop up as example,
If anyone has a better way or knows how let me know,
Thanks,

hello,

You will need to upload image of your sizing to your web host.

Then add some html code to each product's info section to have a pop up window display the image. If it is the same size chart for everyone you can just copy and paste into each product.

You could make an ez-page with the size chart, and put a link to that page in your product descriptions. Set it to open in a new window so the product page stays open.

Yes, in the product description entry field. Since the description won't process PHP, you can't use the zen_ez_pages_link() function, but will need to give the full URL of the page.

Re: Set up size chart not the attributes kind?

The <img> tag is HTML code. If you put an img in the description, the image will show on the description page. If you want it on another page or popup, you will have to make an <a href=... link to it. Popups require javascript.

Re: Set up size chart not the attributes kind?

I found this Popup Window Code Generator,
Would this maybe work?
http://www.htmlbasix.com/popup.shtml
Example HTML Popup Window Code,
Maybe this is better,

Re: Set up size chart not the attributes kind?

It looks like the quackit would work as described. The htmlbasix describes putting the script in the document head, which is the correct way to do it, but in Zen Cart would require you to save it as a jscript_scriptname.js file in a certain location... perhaps more complex than you want to try right now.

Re: Set up size chart not the attributes kind?

Honestly i wouldn't mind a size chart like this zen cart site,
http://www.wedding-retail.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_33&products_id=354
at the bottom Color Chart Size Chart,
Here is the result,
http://www.wedding-retail.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=19
Would i do it as the same as we talked about earlier,
Notice its not popup,
Thanks,

That site uses an ez-page for the size chart.

Tools > EZ-Pages is the place to create your page.

Re: Set up size chart not the attributes kind?

I can add a popup sizechart in product descriptionby an js add-on, but if I have hundreds of products, i have to add that code every time I input product description. So I want to find a way for 'global settingb'. I add the same html code in tpl_product_info_display.php, between  and , since I want the size chart displayed after the attribute and before ' add to cart'. But the problem is the 'add to cart' button doesn't work, although the size chart works properly. so how can I change the code if I want it embeded in the php file?

the code is ```html
<a href="javascript:popupDetails('http://www.mysite.com/images/sizechart.gif')"><img src="/images/icon.jpg" width="86" height="16"><img src="http://www.mysite.com/images/sizechart.gif" width="" height=""></a>
