I product per section redesign question

[jont]

Think it comes from

NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTBEGINLINK
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTLINKTEXT
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTENDLINK

[Luddite]

Thanks John - thats got the [LINK] thing going - but leads me onto another question: Is it possible to use a gif for the link, rather than text?
Nick

[Duncan Rounding]

Yes you can - eg you could put the following as your link text:
<img src="image1.jpg" border="0" >

EDIT: And as I'm sure Jonty would say don't forget the alt text!

[Luddite]

Thanks Duncan - I thought I knew how to get actinic to recognise the code, but apparently not - I tried: !!<<a img src="info.gif" border="0" </a>>!! - but I keep seeing the code rather than the gif. Where am I going wrong?

[Duncan Rounding]

You don't need the !< and >! in this case.

[jont]

Nick - not sure if a typo but in the above you have missed the closing ">" after the border attribute.

And don't forget the ALT tag

I must be doing something wrong

Hi again - I must be doing something wrong as i'm entering this code:

<img src="info.gif" border="0">

but it shows the code, rather than the gif. The actual link works though.
Click here <link removed>,and look at the first product - you'll see what I mean.
Your help is mucho appreciated.
Nick

Edit: Oh, and how do I add the alt tag!

[Duncan Rounding]

Lets first confirm how you have the link set up on your duplicate. Attached is an example of mine (not using an image in this case, but I have tested an image and it worked OK too)

[Duncan Rounding]

ALTs are Jonty's speciality, but in his absence:
<img src="image1.jpg" border="0" alt="alternate text">

[Duncan Rounding]

Note that you can also make the duplicate's image clickable by modifying the Act_ProductLine template as per earlier in this thread:

Thanks for your patience Duncan - I had been doing as a simple link, so I changed it to how you've done it, as an advanced link, and I got nothing - not even the html showing. This makes me think that although i've got a nqv in the template to pick up the simple link, the advanced link needs a seperate nqv - what do you think? I've attached a screenshot to show you how mine looked.

[Duncan Rounding]

Did you try linking it to the master product instead of the section (as per mine)?
Also have you included [LINK] in your duplicate's description where you want the image to be?

[Luddite]

losing will to live........

Nope - still won't work.
Anything I put in 'advanced link' does not show in the template - i'm assuming therefore that i am missing a nqv in my template. Are the nqv's for 'simple link' and 'advanced link' different? I can't find anything in the design guide to point me in the right direction.

This is a copy of the original Act_ProductLine template from the clean layout:
Compare it against yours.

NB - You also haven't confirmed that you have put [LINK] in your duplicate product description.

Hi Duncan - yes, I put the link in as follows:

<img src="info.gif" border="0">[LINK]

Does that look right? Meanwhile I 'll look through the template you just posted.
Thanks - Nick
