Extended Info Popup is small

[HarryCornelius]

Dear all,

I just changed my extended info window size in 'Settings > Site Options > Extended Information' - it currently reads 'Use Parent (=450)'.

After I changed it to 'Use Parent (=550)' all the popups now open about 100px wide which is useless!

Any help much appreciated, site is:

Confused. There are two settings:- Pop-Up Window Height with default of 350, and Pop-Up Window Width with default of 400. What settings did you change and what are they now?

I see your popup pages on http://www.mulberrytreegallery.co.uk...ard_Adams.html currently have a width of 400 and a height of 0.

Hi Norman

I changed both height and width in Site Settings to 650, just did a site update, but it hasn't made any difference. You are right - the width is around 400px, and the height is less than that.

I can't understand why changing the default site settings for the extended information has had this effect.

Thanks,
Harry

Again looking at http://www.mulberrytreegallery.co.uk...ard_Adams.html, I see all popups with a width of 400 and a height of 0. This does not match up with what you way you've set in site options.

Look at a product from that page in the Content Tree, select the Extended Info tab, and report what you see for Pop-Up Window Height and Pop-Up Window Width.

It could be that you've got different settings for that Section or a parent Section and these are overriding the Site Options.

OK, checked there and got the following:

Pop-up window Height: Use Parent (=Use Parent (=650))
Pop-up window Width: 400
Type of Extended Information Page: Use Parent(=Open in a pop-up window)

So it looks like it should be setting the height to 650, but it clearly isn't!

Thanks for helping with this..

The popup opened by clicking the product image comes from code in Design / Library / Layouts / Product Image / Standard Product Image. The first few lines should be:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsPopUpDisplayedByImage%22%20%2f%3e">
   <actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ExtendedInformationType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22Opens%20in%20a%20Pop%2dUp%20Window%22">
      <a href="<actinic:variable name=ExtendedInfoPageEncoded />" target="ActPopup" onclick="return ShowPopUp('<actinic:variable name=ExtendedInfoPageEncoded />',<actinic:variable name="ExtInfoWindowWidth" />,<actinic:variable name="ExtInfoWindowHeight" />);">
   </actinic:block>
   <actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ExtendedInformationType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22Opens%20in%20the%20Same%20Window%22" >
      <a href="<actinic:variable name="ExtendedInfoPageName" />">
   </actinic:block>
</actinic:block>

Post what you've got there.

Code is as below:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsPopUpDisplayedByImage%22%20%2f%3e">
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ExtendedInformationType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22Opens%20in%20a%20Pop%2dUp%20Window%22">
<a href="<actinic:variable name=ExtendedInfoPageEncoded />" target="ActPopup" onclick="return ShowPopUp('<actinic:variable name=ExtendedInfoPageEncoded />',<actinic:variable name="ExtInfoWindowWidth" />,<actinic:variable name="ExtInfoWindowHeight" />);">
</actinic:block>
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ExtendedInformationType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22Opens%20in%20the%20Same%20Window%22" >
<a href="<actinic:variable name="ExtendedInfoPageName" />">
</actinic:block>
</actinic:block>

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsProductImageDisplayed%22%20%2f%3e">

</actinic:block>

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsProductImageDisplayed%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20False">

</actinic:block>

That code is fine. However you seem to be saying that a product extended info parameters has Pop-up window Height: 650 and Pop-up window Width: 400. And the code that's being generated is using 0 and 400. Afraid I don't know how this can be happening.

You could always verify this by editing Design / Library / Layouts / Product Image / Standard Product Image and putting the following at the top:

Popup Width: <actinic:variable name="ExtInfoWindowWidth" />px
<br />
Popup Height: <actinic:variable name="ExtInfoWindowHeight" />px
<br />

And see what displays.

Hi Norman

I've tried that and it simply prints :

Popup Width: px
Popup Height: px

above the image. Any other ideas?

Much appreciated (as an aside, since I 'broke' this, we haven't had any orders from our webshop (could be a coincidence, but....)

Found a temporary fix..

Edited actiniccore.js and changed 'window.open' statement replacing +height and +width with 650 and 600.

Not ideal, but...

Thanks,

[NormanRouxel]

If you're happy editing actiniccore.js, there's another small (only 8 bytes long) tweak worth doing.
Look for the line:

	window.open(sUrl, 'ActPopup', 'width=' + nWidth + ',height=' + nHeight + ',scrollbars, resizable');

And add .focus() to the end of function call. E.g:

	window.open(sUrl, 'ActPopup', 'width=' + nWidth + ',height=' + nHeight + ',scrollbars, resizable').focus();

Now you won't have to worry about popups invisibly re-opening under the current product window if prior ones aren't closed.

Note that a patched actiniccore.js will be replaced with a clean version every time you update Actinic to a new version. So note down and be prepared to re-do tweaks.

Hi Norman

Thank-you so much for your support - I'll definately add that to the script.

I'll no doubt forget, so will likely re-visit this post in another year or so after running an upgrade, having completely forgotten it all!

Had 2 web orders yesterday.....

Thanks again,
Harry
