Additional links on pages-how's it done?

[C h a z]

I would like to have additional links on product pages to other related products.
How would this be achieved? Is it possible to enclude some scipt in the product description?

Any help appreciated

1. First of all I would create Custom Properties within Advanced | Custom properties for "Page-Name" (to reference the page I want people to see), then "Page-Image" (to reference an image filename which will the visitor will click on).

2. I would then open my desired product template and Save As Alt_Act_ProductLine.......html, i.e. making a copy of the original so that this one is only used for products I want this feature to operate within.

3. Within my Alt_Act_ProductLine, I would then locate where I want my click enabled image to reside and place in the following code:

<A HREF="CUSTOMVAR:PAGE-NAME"><IMG SRC="CUSTOMVAR:PAGE-IMAGE"></A>

and save the amended template.

If the image that is going to be used as the click image is likely to be the same for most of the products, then within Design | Options | Default, I would set the "Page-Image" property too my image filename i.e. "default-icon.gif" and set it as a customvar and filename, or set it as required for each instance used within the actual product page.

4. I would next go into my first product that I want this Alt link to be shown and change the product layout to the amended Alt_Act_ProductLine......html.

5. Within the Custom Properties I would then add the Page-NAME "filename i.e. test-product.html" and PAGE-IMAGE to "image-filename.gif" that I want shown.

All of this will then enable the specific selection of the amended productline template, assign a clickable image, direct it to the page.

That is how I would do it anyway.

I hope that this helps you with your need to include this feature and that the instructions are good enough to follow through.

All the best with this.
