adding a button to detailed description box
How to place a button in your product description.tpl
that will only show up on the category pages you have indicated by the category POS in the admin section. In this case the button I have created pulls to an embedded help page that I have created. First in the product.php find this line of code ( it is near the top, just after # # Put all product info into $product array # ) $main = "product"; $smarty->assign("main",$main); right after that ad this $cat_order_by = func_query_first_cell("select order_by from $sql_tbl[categories] where categoryid = '$cat'"); $smarty->assign("cat_order_by",$cat_order_by); $order_by = func_query_hash("SELECT order_by FROM xcart_categories"); $smarty->assign("order_by", $order_by); save and close this file Next open the skin1/customer/main/product.tpl and add this statement {if $cat_order_by gt 4 and $cat_order_by lt 41} {include file="buttons/sizing_help.tpl"}{/if} *IMPORTANT NOTE- THE #-S 4 AND 41 NEED TO BE CHANGED TO THE PAGES THAT YOU HAVE SET IN YOUR CATEGORY /ADMIN In this example all the detailed product description pages that are positioned between page #4-41 will have a button I have made that is indicated by the {include file=button/sizing_help.tpl} The sizing_help.tpl that I have placed in the buttons directory is a button that links in this example to a page that helps the customer to determine the correct size product for them. When the person clicks the link they are taken to the sizing help page that is built, and I have included a back1 button on this page so that if clicked the person goes right back to the product page they were on. I made a new .tpl here and entered the button details and link information here. I hope this mod helps someone out there it works great so far ( 1/8/09 -in Xcart version 4.1.2 ) I have seen others that use a pop-up but my thinking is that this works without the customer having to enable pop ups . I wish I could say I figured this out myself but boy that would be a big fat lie. In no particular order many thanks to the following for helping me figure this out Ashely Jon (CDSE pro) gb2world Vetrivel Hope this is a help Best Scott V fotodog13
