Changing the "Ask a question about this product" form

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking to adjust the "Ask a question about this product" popup page. We use this for people to request a sample and need the popup to have name, address and post code and they must be set to required.

I have found the code for the form and the php that deals with the email but I don't really know how to adjust these.

Has anyone changed this before?

If the worst comes to the worst I could always just make it a link to the contact us page but this won't include the product page that the customer came from.

Re: Changing the "Ask a question about this product" form

hello, i am using the 2 column design. Home Shopping Cart Contact Us links are at the top just below the search bar. I need to add the sell with us link. Can you tell me the exact tpl i need to edit. Thanks so much for the help.

Anyone? got any ideas on how to edit the ask a question about this product popup?

Re: Changing the "Ask a question about this product" form

ok, I put this together quickly for you... tested and working fine on v4.5.5

1) skin/common_files/customer/main/ask_question.tpl

After...

Code:

    <tr>

      <td class="data-name"><label for="phone">{$lng.lbl_phone}</label></td>

      <td>&nbsp;</td>

      <td>

        <input type="text" name="phone" id="phone" value="" size="30" />

      </td>

    </tr>

Insert...

Code:

    {*--------------------------------*}



    <tr>

      <td class="data-name"><label for="sample">Request a Sample</label></td>

      <td>&nbsp;</td>

      <td>

        <input type="checkbox" name="sample" id="sample" />

      </td>

    </tr>



    <tr style="display:none" class="samples">

      <td colspan="3">

        <div class="field-container">

          <div class="data-name">

            <label for="product" class="data-required">Product</label>

          </div>

          <div class="data-value">

            <input type="text" name="product" id="product" value="{$product.product}" style="width:100%" readonly />

          </div>

        </div>

      </td>

    </tr>



    <tr style="display:none" class="samples">

      <td colspan="3">

        <div class="field-container">

          <div class="data-name">

            <label for="address" class="data-required">Address</label>

            <span class="star">*</span>

          </div>

          <div class="data-value">

            <textarea name="address" id="address" rows="4" style="width:100%"></textarea>

          </div>

        </div>

      </td>

    </tr>



    {literal}

    <script type="text/javascript">

    $("input#sample").click(function(){

        if($("input#sample").attr('checked')) {

            $(".samples").fadeIn();

        }else{

            $(".samples").fadeOut();

        }

    });

    </script>

    {/literal}



    {*--------------------------------*}

2) In popup_ask.php

After...

Code:

 

        || empty($_POST['question'])

Insert...

Code:

 

        || ($_POST['sample'] == "on" && empty($_POST['address'])) // XCARTMODS ADDED

Then after...

Code:

$mail_smarty->assign('product', $product['product']);

Insert...

Code:

    $mail_smarty->assign('sample',    $_POST['sample']); // XCARTMODS ADDED

    $mail_smarty->assign('address',    $_POST['address']); // XCARTMODS ADDED

Then after...

Code:

$smarty->assign('productid', $productid);

Insert...

Code:

$smarty->assign('product', $product); // XCARTMODS ADDED

3) In skin/common_files/mail/html/ask_question.tpl

After...

Code:

{if $phone}

<tr>

<td><b>{$lng.lbl_phone}:</b></td>

<td>&nbsp;</td>

<td>{$phone|escape}</td>

</tr>

{/if}

Insert...

Code:

{if $sample eq "on"}

<tr>

<td><b>Sample Requested:</b></td>

<td>&nbsp;</td>

<td>Yes</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td><b>Address:</b></td>

<td>&nbsp;</td>

<td>{$address|escape}</td>

</tr>

{/if}

4) Do a template cleanup.

Done :)

I haven't tried this yet Phil but your a superstar, no idea how you can put this together so quickly.

Your a coding genius.

Re: Changing the "Ask a question about this product" form

Re: Changing the "Ask a question about this product" form

Phil that works a treat and looks so easy once you know how.

Thank you so much for your help

Re: Changing the "Ask a question about this product" form

Thanks for the offer Phil i'm basically just trying to export all the products from one particular category in to a SQL or CSV file so I can import them in to a new DB.

I thought i couldn't do this in xcart but I have just found that you can by searching for products and selecting the category and putting nothing else in then just export these results.
