adding link to image called via .tpl file--- not working
 

Hi there,

I am trying to make an image a hyperlink but it is not working. This is an image which will be below featured products image. If you see below featured products image default is shown a hyperlink text "see details" and I am trying to replace that with an image having heading see details.

(I have noticed if we directly hyperlink to image it gives a thick blue outline which is not desired.)

I have introduced this image in a next-row after featured products image
in the same table. Featured product image is also a hyperlink but its form is like this :

<a href=product.php?productid={$products[product].productid}&cat={$cat}&page={$navigation_page}>{in clude file="product_thumbnail.tpl" productid=$products[product].productid image_x=140 product=$products[product].product}</a>

Here the called file is made a hyperlink and it is working. But when i do the same thing with "see details" image it is not working. I want the same hyperlink for "see details" image as above.

I tried it two ways :roll:

1. i created a file "see-details.tpl" and put the coding there as :

[img]{$ImagesDir}/see-details.gif[/img]

In "products.tpl" file i hyperlinked this .tpl file like this:

{include file="see-details.tpl"}

--------------- output : Not Working :cry:

2. i changed the coding in see-details file as :

[img]{$ImagesDir}/b_see-details.gif[/img]

and simply called it in products.tpl file

--------------- output : Not Working :cry:

Please help me resolve this problem. I would be Greatful to you!!

Thanks
Bye

Did this but slightly differently to you:

first created a new button template: showdetail.tpl in skin1/buttons/


then in customer/main/products.tpl

have an include such as:

<a href=product.php?productid={$products[product].productid}&cat={$cat}&page={$navigation_page}>{in clude
file="buttons/showdetail.tpl"}</a>

Hi again,

I am sorry buddy! But its true that I tried your suggestion and unluckly its not working still. Check it out at http://www.templatearena.com/xcart/customer

You did the same thing as i did in my no.1 effort except that you changed the path. I don't think if changing path matters untill you mention it right when refering to that file? Is it not?

Please try once more and come up with your fruitful efforts. I would be greatful to you!!

Ok, Bye. Keep up the good effort. :)

chau

can you post the code from your products.tpl file?

Also, can you tell me how to add affiliate section in our home page.

Thankyou

Hi Rohit,


Add a border=0 to your href tags, for example:

[img]{$ImagesDir}/xxxx.gif[/img]

Thanks Alan
 

Hi Alan,

Thanks for the suggestion!

I have finally made it !!! yeappy :D

But the problem was at my end. I had forgot to close the colspan with double quotes inside <TD> tag just before the start of <a href=..... A very silly thing not noticed.

One thing i did according to you but the border was still coming but when i put the border inside img tag equal to "0" it worked.

Anyways your entry has proved lucky for me.

Best Regards ,
