Hello,
I'm hoping someone can provide some insight for me. I'm using x-cart 4.4.5 and want to include code for a popover to capture names. The service I use for email provides javascript for the popover with directions to include the code between the body tags of any given page I want to have the popover on.

Does anyone know where I would put this if I want to have a popover on:
1. Home page (I use x-cart as my home page directory)
2. Any of the category pages
3. Any of the static pages.

Many thanks.

The body tags only occur in the home.tpl template, in your custom skin, or in common_files/customer, if you don't have one in your custom/chosen skin folder.

So you would put them in there for all instances.

What you would then have to do, is use if statements around the code depending on where, or where not you do or don't want the code to be used.

Thanks Paul. I'm not a programmer, but know my way around a bit. Are the if statements difficult? Do you have something you could share as an example - perhaps Google about?

It may help to look at the documentation for Webmaster mode - which is the tool x-cart provides to help you make changes: http://help.x-cart.com/index.php?title=X-Cart:Using_Webmaster_mode

You also may find the tutorials by Totaltec to be helpful: http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=62810

Most of the if statements already exist somewhere in X-Cart.

the customer/home_main.tpl template is a good place to look as it has statements for all kinds of scenarios.

e.g. what appears on the home page only - the welcome.tpl template.
Which following gbworld's good advice to use webmaster mode, you'd have discovered.

So you can see there is:

{elseif $main eq "catalog" and $current_category.category eq ""}
{include file="customer/main/welcome.tpl"}

From that you can then take the if statement.

So if you want something to show/be used on the home page only, you'd do:

{if $main eq "catalog" and $current_category.category eq ""}
HOME PAGE ONLY
{/if}

Hope that helps.
