Extended info link in search results?

[bentleybloke]

Hi guys...

Is it possible to have a link in the search results that would open the extended info popup for that product?

I was sure that something like this had been discussed previously, but I can't find it on the forum.

Thanks!

Did you try "searching" this forum?

I found http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=2741

Ahh... the good old V6 forum. I knew I'd seen it somewhere.

Thanks Norman!

Here's a Perl free method. Replace Act_SearchResults.html with

<!-- Results HTML begin -->
<!-- Add Results Page header HTML here -->

<script language=JavaScript>
<!-- 
 function spopup(link){
  link = link.replace(/.*#a(.*)">/, '$1');	// extract the anchor
  link = link.replace(/_.{2}/g, '_');		// fix special characters
  link = 'info_' + link + '.html';		// make into URL
  document.write('<a href="javascript:ShowPopUp(\'' + link + '\', 400, 400)">');
}
//-->
</script>

<TABLE BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=10 WIDTH="CUSTOMVAR:ACTSTDWIDTH" ALIGN="CENTER">
	<TR>
		<TD ALIGN=LEFT>
		  <B><Actinic:S_SUMMARY/></B><BR><Actinic:S_CONTINUE/>
		</TD>
	</TR>
	<TR>
		<TD ALIGN=LEFT>
		  <Actinic:SEARCH_RESULTS>
		  <Actinic:S_ITEM/>.
		  <Actinic:XMLTEMPLATE NAME="ImageLine">
		  	<IMG SRC="NETQUOTEVAR:THUMBNAIL" NETQUOTEVAR:THUMBNAILSIZE>
		  </Actinic:XMLTEMPLATE>
		  <Actinic:S_LINK/><B><Actinic:S_PNAME/></B></A> <Actinic:S_SNAME/> <Actinic:S_PRICE/> <BR>

<script language=JavaScript>spopup('<Actinic:S_LINK/>')</script>See the popup</a>

		  <Actinic:S_DESCR/><BR>
		  <Actinic:S_PROP/><P>
		  </Actinic:SEARCH_RESULTS>
		</TD>
	</TR>
	<TR>
		<TD ALIGN=LEFT>
		  <B><Actinic:S_SUMMARY/></B><BR><Actinic:S_CONTINUE/>
		</TD>
	</TR>
</TABLE>
<HR SIZE="1" ALIGN="CENTER" WIDTH="CUSTOMVAR:ACTSTDWIDTH">
NETQUOTEVAR:SEARCHBLOCK

<!-- Add Results Page footer HTML here -->
<!-- Results HTML end -->

This again assumes you're using the default extended info page name and have a popup for every product. You can move the

<script language=JavaScript>spopup('<Actinic:S_LINK/>')</script>See the popup</a>

if needed and change the "See the popup" text.

Thank you Norman!

I used a little bit of both method, because I wanted the product reference in the results too. I couldn't get the javascript working at first. After a bit of puzzling I added a "/" in front of info in the line below. "cgi-bin" kept appearing in the popup window's address.

link = 'info_' + link + '.html';		// make into URL

The perl patch (in SearchScript.pl) shown in blue below, resulted in the product reference being displayed complete with the 1!, 2! etc. which is used to id duplicates. So if your product reference was AB12345 and your search brought up a duplicate the reference would be shown as 1!AB12345 for the first duplicate, 2!AB12345 for the second etc.

		
		#
		# Build the replacement tags
		#
		my $TheProdRef = $$rarrResults[$nCount];
		$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('S_REF', $TheProdRef);
		$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('S_ITEM', ($nCount + 1));

I added the bit in red

		#
		# Build the replacement tags
		#
		my $TheProdRef = $$rarrResults[$nCount];
		$TheProdRef =~ s/^\d+\!//g;
		$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('S_REF', $TheProdRef);
		$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('S_ITEM', ($nCount + 1));

to remove the number and exclaimation mark. I then added <Actinic:S_REF/> into Act_ResultsTemplate.html where the prodcut reference was to appear.

Hi,

I am new to actinic catalogue and I’m currently trialling V8.

I would like to link product search results directly to their extended info pages, and nowhere else. How do I go about doing this?

I’ve tired to follow this thread but not sure where to find Act_SearchResults.html as per Norman's solution. Please can someone help!

Thanks in advance

[NormanRouxel]

In V8 all the design layouts are in the Library. Look in Design / Library / Layouts / Search Results / Standard Search Result. Note that the V7

<Actinic:S_LINK/>

will now be

<Actinic:Variable Name="SearchResultLink"/>

Thanks Norman, I've now got this working!

cheers

Could anyone please explain exactly what you need to do to get this working in V8? I assume that the code below is for V7 so I did not really want to try it. Also I have got all our extended info page opening within the site window.

If this is possible I would be very keen to know how.
