Thumbnail links to top of page!?

[marknc]

I have a rather odd behaviour on one of the pages on my website.

The particular product section has thumbnails only. In other words they do not have any link to an Extended Info Page or other Simple Links. Problem is they are still clickable for some reason, even though I have not made them so. When they are clicked you are bounced to the top of the page which definitely isn't right. I'm at a bit of a loss as to why this is happening or what to do about it. Has anyone else had this problem?

Perhaps something to do with Greybox. I see references to that in the HEAD area of your pages.

I don't think so because I removed the variable Upsell Setup Code temporaily and the problem still occurred.
It's not just one section either. Dotted around the shop are various items that only have a thumbnail and the same behaviour occurs with those also.

I notice from the Page Source Code - (in this case the Toe Rings Section - http://www.madaboutjewellery.com/aca..._Rings_29.html) - that the opening <a tag references closed parenthesis. Actually there shouldn't be a link at all, but if there is to be one it should wrap around the thumbnail image, I would have thought. This could be the cause and I'm trying to find out how this is generating.
Code looks like this:
<div class="image_product"><a href=""><img src="toe_swarovski_daisy_blue.jpg" border="0" width="120" height="120" alt="Daisy Blue " /></a></div>

On the design tab within actinic, copy paste the code for that area into here so we can see it, looks like the variable for the section page name is missing from the code or you somehow have an empty page name on the section in question.

A lot depends on how that part of the page is generated, but the knowledge probably lies with whoever created the method that inserts the thumbnail image IWHT. I don't think it's a default Actinic layout.

If you click on the image in the Design tab you should see the name of its layout highlighted in bold in the breadcrumb trail at the foot of the page. Then in the Layout Code window look for the variable ProductThumbnailImageFileName, and look at the code around it.

Sorry if I'm telling you stuff you already know...

Ok I know what's causing it.

For some reason the default product layout - Standard with Image on the Left - links the thumbnail to the Extended Info but not to the Simple Link under the Links tab.

I thought I had fixed this by enclosing the ProductImageLayout within the ProductLinkInfo tags like this:
<a href="<Actinic:Variable Name="ProductLinkInfo"/>"><actinic:variable name="ProductImageLayout" /></a>

This worked but now causes thumbnails with no link at all to be clickable and jumps to the top of the page.

I need to find a way to make the Simple Link work without using the ProductLinkInfo variable.

A block if should do that for you if you know how to do them, if not, try the block if tutorials in the forum, they'll get you there.

The link tab is for linking to other items, its not linked to the images or extended info pages and never will be. Typical uses are a manufacturers link or a pdf for example.

I need to make the the Simple Link work by clicking the thumbnail as well as the Information Link Text.

[marknc]

I will try the block if setup which I need to understand better. Hopefully it will provide the answer.

[leehack]

If you want the product image to link to the same place as the simple link then you will need to form a link around the product image as with the simple link code. If that is not to happen on every product, then you will probably need to get blockifs involved or design an exclusive product image layout for just this purpose and have that used in the purpose built product layout ie away from the standard settings.

I have had another cursory look at the Block If tutorial and will need a lot more time to get to grips with it. I think a seperate product layout will have to surfice for the time being.
