extended information

[zima68]

i have to generate pages with extended product information using a little perl script. So is it possible to link product's images with my pages. As far as i understand it could be done if in Act_ProductLine.html make <a> tag around the NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTIMAGE using SRC ending by product id smth like this SRC="info_NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTID" (this is a first question what variable cotains product id?) and then another question could i set product's id when i insert product.

this is a first question what variable cotains product id?

NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTREFERENCE

could i set product's id when i insert product

View / Business Setings / Options, and turn off Auto Generate Product References.

PS Popup pages containing Extended Info are a standard part of Actinic. It is also possible to divert this mechanism to do more than open a simple info poup. See www.drillpine.biz/actinicstuff/ for an example where the popup page can be made to contain full details choices and cart button.

Thank you Narman very much. You always give very useful advice

Watch out as there was a bug in 7.0.1 where NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTREFERENCE wasn't being generated correctly for product duplicates (the reference for the original product is generated). I don't know if it was fixed in 7.0.2.
