Single Product per Page URL for Javascript

[Tezzflyer]

Hi I am using Sellerdeck v11.2 and sellerdeck hosting..

I have searched the forums without success (there are some related articles, but don't answer the question) which is..
how do I put the full URL of a single product page, or even just the page name, into a variable?

I am trying to use the 'Dynamic Drive' add to favourites script,
this requires a line of javascript like this..

<a href="javascript:bookmarksite('WebSparky', 'http://www.websparky/acatalog/SingleProductPageName.html')">Add to <br />Favourites!</a>

Just cant find a way of puting in the SPP URL
can anyone help?

Thanks

<a href="javascript:bookmarksite('WebSparky <actinic:variable name="ProductName" encoding="perl" selectable="false" />', '<actinic:block php="true">echo <actinic:variable name="IsPreviewMode" selectable="false" /> ? '<actinic:variable name="ProductPageName" encoding="perl" selectable="false" />' : '<actinic:variable name="CatalogURL" encoding="perl" selectable="false" />' . basename('<actinic:variable name="ProductPageName" encoding="perl" selectable="false" />');</actinic:block>');">Add to <br />Favourites!</a>

Almost there!

Thanks Norman, that almost works!
I am now using this:-
<a href="javascript:bookmarksite('WebSparky <actinic:variable name="ProductPageMetaDescription" />', '<actinic:variable name="ProductPageName" selectable="false" />')">Add this Page<br />to Favourites!</a>

But now get a javascript error (as shown in the attached screen shot

I tried puting in the URL of the website up to the page name eg:
<a href="javascript:bookmarksite('WebSparky', '<http://www.websparky.co.uk/acatalog/actinic:variable name="ProductPageName" selectable="false" />')">Add to <br />Favourites!</a>
But When I do this I don't get the javascript error, but the resulting shortcut points to a file on my !PC
to summarize - when I use the product page name variable the page name is rendered correctly but the add to bookmarks fails with the permission denied error , if I use 'http://www.websparky.co.uk/acatalog/ProductPageName' I dont get an error, but the browser renders this as ''http://www.websparky.co.uk/acatalog/C:\Documents...(filesystem path to the page) and therfor the bookmark brings up page not found!

Can you shed any light on this?

What you're doing with the URL won't work. ProductPageName is a full URL, not just the filename part.

It would be best to use the code I gave, upload and let people know the address of a faulty page.

Solved!
I have incorparated some code from the Sellerdeck knowlege base, into the javascript - And it Worked! woohoo!
here it is all put together.....

<a href="javascript:bookmarksite('WebSparky <actinic:variable name="ProductName" />', 'http://www.Websparky.co.uk/acatalog/<actinic:block php="true" >
$pageName = "<actinic:variable name="ProductPageName" />";
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsPreviewMode%22%20%2f%3e">
$separator = "\\";
</actinic:block>
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsPreviewMode%22%20%2f%3e%20%20%3d%3d%20false" >
$separator = "\\";
</actinic:block>
$pieces = explode($separator, $pageName);
echo $pieces[count($pieces)-1];
</actinic:block>')">Bookmark this Page</a>

Thanks

There was no faulty page - when uploaded as per your post, the javscript failed with the permission denied error.

when I tried the other option, the javascript didn't fail - but pointed to a file on my PC rather than the website URL ! Very frrustrating!

all sorted now though.

Thanks for your help, it is very much appreciated, and without it I would not have got to a satisfactory conclusion.

Ahah. ProductPageName works differently on the live site than on Preview. I've amended my post #2 to work live. It's still just 1 line and would work on any site as it doesn't hard-code the catalog URL.

Your KB code is weird. It has 2 redundant blockif's that both set $separator = "\\" regardless of whether it's preview or live. Try my amended code as it's much cleaner.

Bingo!

I wondered about the redundand blocks - but thought I would give it a go anyway, and it worked so I thought I would'nt try and break it!

Your new line of code works a treat (but you knew that didn't you!) and is much easier to understand.
Can't thank you enough for your help with this.
so Thanks!
