How to call a file to pop-up window?

Hi there,

I have included a javascript for pop-up window in the home.tpl file and a test link "Click". The pop-up window is opening up when someone clicks on link "Click" but the problem is that the file i am trying to call is not appearing in the pop-up window.

I show you what i did with the link "Click" : I tried it two ways :

1.
<font size=2> Click</font>

2.
<font size=2> Click</font>

tatextfile.tpl is inside customer folder.

The is not showing in the pop-up either of the ways. Tell me how to do it.

Thanks in advance

Code:

{literal}

<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">

<!--

function mypopup(mydoc) {



window.open(mydoc, '_mywindow', 'HEIGHT=400,resizable=no,WIDTH=550');



}

//-->

</script>

{/literal}

A function I use for poping up windows just call it like so:

Code:

Click

Hope that helps, NOTE: my {literal} tags around my javascript so Smarty doesn't try to interrupt my javascript as smarty code. ;)

Hello Boomer,

Sorry! that didn't work. I did exactly as you said. I replaced my script to yours. I created a file sample.html in customer folder. No results.

Check it out at http://www.templatearena.com/xcart/customer . Look for link "Click" at the top of right vertical bar above cart heading.

Heres the code in customer/home.tpl . I have bolded the required lines.

Looking forward for the solution. :)

not the definitive answer but tells you how to do it. Basically, you should call the php file not the .tpl

RE:How to call a file to pop-up window?

I have done this way. I think its as you directed me:

1. Created a php file in customer/sample1.php

CODE : sample1.php

$smarty = new Smarty;
$smarty->assign('Contacts',
array('555-222-9876',
'zaphod@slartibartfast.com',
array('555-444-3333',
'555-111-1234')));
$smarty->display('sample1.tpl');

2. Created a tpl file in customer/sample1.tpl

CODE : sample1.tpl

{$Contacts[0]}

{$Contacts[1]}

{* you can print arrays of arrays as well *}
{$Contacts[2][0]}

{$Contacts[2][1]}

3. In home.tpl i called sample1.php through pop-up code :

<font size=2> Click</font>

and the result see http://www.templatearena.com/xcart/customer
Donot forget to click on the link "Click" (towards right)

Can you give me a working example please!
I am just a newbie. It would be better for me if you give me a step by step small instruction to build a popup in which a file is called in the popup.

I would be ever greatful to you.

thanks. hope for the best.
bye

RE:How to call a file to pop-up window?

can you post the full code from your popup php script cos it's missing the <? and ?> php tags at the moment?

RE:How to call a file to pop-up window?

Oh! is that so. But this is all i have. I had copied it from an example given in the manual supplied by x-cart for understanding smarty script.

I am just a beginner!! Please, you tell me how to do it by taking the code sent by me for test. Tell me also if i were to include tables to add text and images would it be possible in php??
