I'm trying to change the 'ask a question about this product' link into an image. How can I do this?

The default code is:

{include file="customer/buttons/button.tpl" button_title=$lng.lbl_ask_question_about_product style="link" href="javascript: return !popupOpen(xcart_web_dir + '/popup_ask.php?productid=`$product.productid`')"}

If I change the style to 'image', I get a small arrow button but not sure how to change that to my own image.

I am not going to test this one, but it looks like any image with a link that references:
"javascript: return !popupOpen(xcart_web_dir + '/popup_ask.php?productid=`$product.productid`')"
is going to work.
So a standard setup for a linked image should be fine.
ie:
<a name="mypopuplink" id="mypopuplink" href="javascript: return !popupOpen(xcart_web_dir + '/popup_ask.php?productid=`$product.productid`')"><i mg src="{ImagesDir}/mypopupimage.jpg" /></a>

Then upload your image to skins/common_files/images or skins/images on older x-carts.

The name and id attributes I defined may not be necessary, but it is a good practice to always assign something.

I had already tried that, but the javascript didn't work.

Sorry it was late, and I was tired....

<a name="mypopuplink" id="mypopuplink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript: return !popupOpen(xcart_web_dir + '/popup_ask.php?productid=2'); return false;"><img src="{ImagesDir}/mypopupimage.jpg" /></a>

Still haven't tested it, but it should work fine.

Edit: I have since tested this and it does work in at least IE9.

Hi Learner! I just tested this in my test site, and it works perfectly.

<a name="mypopuplink" id="mypopuplink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript: return !popupOpen(xcart_web_dir + '/popup_ask.php?productid=2'); return false;"><img src="{ImagesDir}/mypopupimage.jpg" /></a>

I used the code you provided back to me so I can't imagine why this isn't working for you. Of course this link references "productid=2" and it is only going to work on the product page with that product id.

Try: productid=`$product.productid`

Hope that helps. Feel free to send me a coffee.

Hi Learner, in response to your Pm:

You can see the code working on my test site: http://trainingpen.com/product.php?productid=17513&cat=0&page=&featured=Y

Click the Xcart logo in the description.

Here is the complete code from the template:
<a name="mypopuplink" id="mypopuplink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript: return !popupOpen(xcart_web_dir + '/popup_ask.php?productid=17513'); return false;">
<img src="{ImagesDir}/admin_xlogo.gif" />
</a>

Okay I think I see why this isn't working for you. It all has to do with the right productid not being assigned. See how I included the productid hard coded? Try:
<a name="mypopuplink" id="mypopuplink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript: return !popupOpen(xcart_web_dir + '/popup_ask.php?productid={$product.productid}'); return false;">
<img src="{$ImagesDir}/admin_xlogo.gif" />
</a>

That should do it. Sorry this was so difficult.

Hi Mike,
Have you seen this in my site??click http://www.health-shoppe.com/TURMERIC-SKIN-and-ALLERGY-CARE/ and see Ask a question image and you will see that pop open and certain time it vanishes.

I have added
<a name="mypopuplink" id="mypopuplink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript: return !popupOpen(xcart_web_dir + '/popup_ask.php?productid={$product.productid}'); return false;">
<img src="{$ImagesDir}/myimage.jpg" />
</a>
this code but not solved.

How to resolve my issue?

Thanks.

Learner, look again at the code I posted. You appear to be missing the productid like I said. When I look at the source of the page, I see:

<a name="mypopuplink" id="mypopuplink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript: return !popupOpen(xcart_web_dir + '/popup_ask.php?productid=`$product.productid`'); return false;"><img src="skin/artistictunes_business/images/custom/ask02.jpg"></a>

Change this to:
<a name="mypopuplink" id="mypopuplink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript: return !popupOpen(xcart_web_dir + '/popup_ask.php?productid={$product.productid}'); return false;"><img src="skin/artistictunes_business/images/custom/ask02.jpg"></a>

Remove the`` and add the{} around $product.productid

What is happening, is the popup cannot figure out which product this is about. If you removed $product.productid and put the right productid for that product directly it will work as well.

Like my original code:
<a name="mypopuplink" id="mypopuplink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript: return !popupOpen(xcart_web_dir + '/popup_ask.php?productid=2'); return false;"><img src="{ImagesDir}/mypopupimage.jpg" /></a>

This will work only if the productid is 2. If you change that number to your productid, it should work. I am simply telling you this so you will understand, obviously you want this to work on every product page, and you need to use the {$product.productid} to make that happen. But try it with the actual number put in if you need to test.

Your site looks nice BTW.
