Ask A Question

I did renamed them already... ummm wonder what I did wrong then... I never have problem installing other modules, let me try again then.

thanks for reply

I still cannot get it working... all other modules I use that use template override works except this one...

if i comment out the line
require($define_page);

from tpl_ask_a_question_default.php
then the table show up but it doesn't auto fill the details for you and also also look like it doesn't pick up the language file because it show HEADING_TITLE, ENTRY_NAME, ENTRY_EMAIL instead of normal english words.

If anyone get this modules work with 1.3.9e pls let me know so i know i am doing something wrong.

I tried with fresh install and same thing still happen.

I just installed this on a 1.3.9e (fresh install) site that I'm revamping and it works just fine.

Other installed mods:

• product info across
• tabbed products pro
• cross sell
• quantity discounts

I started with an install on a local (WAMP) system then uploaded to the web so I could get some help with css from another forum member.

Have you looked at the distribution files and compared them to the files on your local setup to make sure that they've gotten into the correct directories?

Hi Swguy,

Would it be very difficult to add extra fields to "ask a question"? I'm interested in adding extra fields such as "telephone number", "industries" into the form, but want to know the scope of the task.

I'm using zen cart 1.3.8 sp1 and using "ask a question" as a means of getting quotation.

Here's the site with ask a question page:

Thanks..

Hi I now solved my problem. It wasn't working because of file permission. So i just set all file to read and write in my includes folder except configure.php and that solve problem.

if you are using Linux to do on localhost first then you need to open terminal and use sudo code as below

sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/lampp/htdocs/(your directory)

hope this will help other people that have same problem as me :)

I finally got this to work. It was easier than I imagined it would be. Great mod.

One question, though. As of right now, only registered users can ask a question. How can I allow guests to ask a question?

i have made the module work well. but i want to reply those questions on admin panel and save the notes in database:no:. how can i modify the procedure?
anyone can help me? thans!

Can you please tell me how to fix this error?

sorry, I don' t know what I did wrong, can you explain how i posted a zendid or zendadmin id in this post?

The original URL you provide was

https://www.mysybertemplates.com

with the arguments

index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=1&zenid=bla-bla-bla

what Linda is saying is, be sure to delete the zenid=bla-bla-bla portion.

Your problem you posted about is a result of not following this part of the README:

These directions and file paths all assume your template is named "custom."
If your template has another name, please change the directory name "custom"
to the name of your template in ALL places.

For instance,

./includes/templates/custom/buttons/english/button_ask_question.gif

must be put in your cart in the directory

./includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/buttons/english/button_ask_question.gif

Hi,

Not to sound like a smarty pants or anything :wink: but I do understand how to install the modules and I have put the proper files into the proper folders as you have directed and I just doubled checked as well. When you click on the text the proper contact us page shows with no errors so I'm not sure why the image won't show. :no:

Is there a way to put a CAPTCHA on the email form to stop spammers?

I got it to work i put

define('ASK_A_QUESTION', 'Ask a question about this product');
define('BUTTON_IMAGE_ASK_A_QUESTION','button_ask_question.gif');
define('BUTTON_ASK_A_QUESTION_ALT', 'Ask a question');

into my /languages/english/english.php file. I think it has something to do with the way my template was created/setup. Now I have go figure out how to get the image to show.

Hey Scott, I've got a question...........This mod pulls the Page Title from the Contact Us page, which end up putting a Title on top of the page like: Ask a Question: Store Title/Tagline - Mozilla FireFox.

What I was wanting to know is how can I make it display the Title like it would for the product page......ie...
Ask a Question: Sterling Silver Money Clip - Mozilla Firefox ?

take includes\modules\meta_tags.php and copy over to your template folder then line 186-187

 //  case 'product_info':
  case (strstr($_GET['main_page'], 'product_') or strstr($_GET['main_page'], 'document_')):
```add to the end

// case 'product_info':
case (strstr($GET['main_page'], 'product') or strstr($GET['main_page'], 'document') or strstr($_GET['main_page'], 'ask_a_question')):

Working out for me so far...

@ davewest........that's absolutely beautiful! Thank you.

Hello to the forum,

i could use some help over here with this addon, i have successfully installed the sidebox but it appears to be a conflict with the signin, sign out pages. when the user inserts his signin data and presses the login button a blank page appears, but if he clicks the back button at his browser the page is loaded correctly and he is signed in. The same happens at sign out process.

If i uninstall the sidebox, all the features of the site seems to function as they should be.....so, I'm sure that there is conflict with the sidebox. Can anyone point me to a direction?

Hello, can someone be so kind to tell me which captcha works best with this addon?

Thanks!:wub:
