Ask A Question

Anything is possible - it's software. :) The code doesn't do this but could certainly be adapted to do it. (It's not clear to me that it would be worth the effort, but there you are.)

Scott

Thank you Scott, and Darkwander.

Gread mod. IMO this and checkout without account are the two most important features that should be bulit-in. Are there enough requests for this feature?

Dunno. You might want to post in code suggestions.

OK I just made a request in the Features Wish List section. I'm surprised no one made a request before (I searched with keywords "Ask a question").

Hello,

I have everything displaying properly, edit the file(s); however, I receive the error page within ZC when I click the AAQ button...
One thing I'll mention whether it's important or not is beyond me...
While placing the mouse over the image the link in the browser status bar displays the link reference in all caps,
../index.php?main_page=FILENAME_ASK_A_QUESTION&products_id='some ID'

Other links seem to bee all lower case:
../index.php?main_page=tell_a_friend&products_id='some ID'

Any direction to what I may have over looked is appreciated,
Jim

You need to install

./includes/extra_datafiles/ask_a_question_filenames.php

Thanks for the prompt reply!

I see the problem...
I attempted to place this in a custom dir:
/includes/extra_datafiles/CUSTOM/ask_a_question_filenames.php

Once I placed the file into the proper dir, it functioned fine!

Thanks for the guidance!
Jim

One last question...

The message sent to admin has a reply email address back to the cart...
How can this be modified to include the senders email address instead to facilitate an easy reply...?

Thanks again,
Jim

DISREGARD as it does actually reply to the sender... Silly me for not following through and testing...

Hi guyz,

it has been a while since i did not login to this forum! i am happy to be back!:clap:hi swguy, can you assist me how this mod can be enable just for 'call for price' product? maybe we can put a switch in the admin... i am not a coder myself !!!

Tajul, your request is very specific so I wouldn't handle it through an admin switch. You should add the code yourself to the product info page. Many examples of how to do this are provided here:

Good luck,

Hello again,

I've noticed on my development with AAQ that if I enable visibility on certain product details, ie. show product weight, show quantity in stock, etc..., a second Ask A Question button displays...

Any direction on what could be causing this to occur...?

URL:
http://thejewelryboxshop.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=9

Thank you,
Jim

It looks as though you've copied it into tpl_product_info_display.php twice. Compare your copy with the copy that comes with the default zen distribution.

Scott

Thanks for the quick reply Scott!
I'll take a peek at this tomorrow and post my results...

Silly me...
Thanks Scott!
While attempting to get things formatted right, I did accidentally paste the code into two locations and the second only began to display when I wanted additional product info to show...

I have installed Ask A Question (AAQ) on my system twice. The message link appears on my product page but when clicked the email page and any info on the product does not appear – It’s a blank page. I have followed the ReadMe file with the mod, but does anyone have more detailed info. Thanks in advance for your support.
John

If you're getting a blank page there's an error in your PHP. Look at your server logs to track down the offending line.

OK, I think I know the answer to this question, but I need to ask anyway...

I installed the modification, but I don't see the "Ask a Question" link.

I did modify the tpl_product_info_display.php in my custom directory (includes/templates/custom/templates/) as per the read me file.

As I mentioned, I don't see the link, and when I view the source on my product detail page, I don't see the comments I made in conjunction with the modification. I quadruple checked that I copied the file to the right spot, and I uploaded all the other files. Is there anything else obvious that I could be missing, or am I just making a stupid mistake?

My cart is located at http://www.LifeOnRecord.com/cart

Thanks

I figured it out... I didn't have a manufacturer, so the link wasn't appearing. I moved the code so that it wasn't dependent on manufacturer.

Hi

Can't seem to find an answer to this:

I have quite a lengthy description/introduction to my products which I would only like to show on the first page of the product listings. I.e. I'd like page 2 to go straight to the products rather than repeating the text.

Is there a way to do this?
