I applied a patch to correct the Bill To/Ship To issue - https://bugtracker.qtmsoft.com/view.php?id=38558.

Other than that, no.

where 'url' is your image file url and then insert the anchor code anywhere in your page:

<a href="javascript: popupwin('your_domain/path_to_image/image_name');">Pop it</a>

Can you please advise where to insert the code, do I insert it into home.tpl? I need a popup box on the home page to make visitors aware of a new product, so they can either click on it to go to the product page, or simply close it and stay on home page, thanks for your help.

where in the home page do you need the new product link inserted? Different nested template files are engaged in the home page, regarding the specific place you want it.

Well, I am not after a link on the home page, I am looking to integrate a popup box that apears on site visit, it is to advertise a new product. Can you help? Thanks

I don't know why it would have worked fine previously, it probably shouldn't have. Let me explain... Some time ago I was working on moving the login box from the left menu to the header in an older version of x-cart. I started by copying the menu login box to the header and when I tried to use it I got the same "wait" state as you did. Once I removed the login box from the menu however everything worked fine.

It seems you can not have two instances of the login box on the same page. Just the fact that all checkout options x-cart has use a separate header and remove the menus form checkout pages reinforces this.

Its possible that the login popup and the "normal" login are "technically" on the same page.... just some thoughts.

Maybe, it is a case of using two instances of a specific id named control in the same web page, something that is irregular for html coding....

Regarding the popup window displaying when the home page loads, you just place the popup window code without using any function and link, e.g. something like:

 
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
window.open('new_product_url','windowname',' height='320,width=320,scrollbars,resizable');
// -->
</script>

You could place this code for example, inside the welcome.tpl template file, so it will execute only when your home page first loads.

I figured out what was causing the issue w/ my popup. At some point after adding the coding I changed the login settings from HTTP to HTTPS. It didn't even occur to me that I needed to change the code to match. Such a silly oversight caused way too much frustration. Glad to have it fixed finally.
