Extended Info Link - Changing Style?

[Penfold]

Hi,

I've added some extended information to one of my products and set the display option to 'Text Link' with 'show me more info' as the text.

How or rather where can I change the style of the link that generates the pop-up?

I'd like to have the link in a different colour and larger size.

Thanks & Regards,

Andrew

Just add the html to surround Text Link. For example:

<b><font color="red" size="3">Text Link</b></font>

Thanks for the reply.

I've tried this in the 'Link Text' field on the 'Extended Information' tab, but when the page is in preview it shows: -

This is the first line of the description !!<<b><font color="red" size="3">Show me more information</b></font>>!!

Regards,

Andrew

Try without the !!< ... >!! as Owen suggests - his code works fine on my test

[jont]

I trust you are also putting the code into Advanced Link | Link Text and then putting [LINK] into the product description

[Owen Drumm]

Actually it should be <b><font color="red" size="3">show me more info</b></font>

NO

It SHOULD be <font color="red" size="3"><b>Show me more Info</b></font>
tags close in the REVERSE of the opening order Last in - First out.

Actually it doesn't make any difference lol. Maybe it looks better aesthetically but it doesn't matter as to functionality

It SHOULD be <font color="red" size="3"><b>Show me more Info</b></font>

this is correct....tags should always open and close in the same order, open1, open2, close2, close1

Actually it doesn't make any difference lol

There will be a time when it does matter

Thanks for all the replies.

I've tried the code with and without the tags !!<< >>!! but still no joy.

I'm trying to call a popup, which I've done in the past without any problems, but this just doesn't seem to be working no matter what I try.

I trust you are also putting the code into Advanced Link | Link Text and then putting [LINK] into the product description

Do I need this to call a popup?

The product template I'm using contains the following: -

		<td colspan="5">
			NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTDESCRIPTION NETQUOTEVAR:EXTINFOLINK
		</td>

Am I using the right NETQUOTEVAR?

Regards,

Andrew

All you need to do is tick the generate popup page then tick the text link and then in the Link Text box enter <font color="red" size="3"><b>Show me more Info</b></font> and you are done. If you cant get it to work drop me an email with a contact number and I'll run it through with you. That's of course if you are in the UK.

The popup is being called, so there's no problem there.

It's just that no matter what I place in the 'Link Text' field the whole line of text becomes the link for the popup.

True, it's frustrating, but I think I'll use a button, can't go wrong with a button or can I !!

I'll look at using the text link later, as I've got plough on with other parts of the site.

Many thanks for all your replies & suggestions.

I shall return to this at a later date.

Regards,

Andrew

Hi,

I've started looking again at formatting the 'More Info' link, but no luck

Is the formatting picked up from within the 'Design Text'?

If so does anyone know where, may be I could put my formatting in there?

Regards,

Andrew

[Owen Drumm]

What exact format do you want the link in including the text and i'll post the html for you

Hi Andrew,

Check out this thread: http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=15622

It achieves what you want to do by using CSS.

Hope this helps.
