Popup window, image enlarge ..

[simonwar]

I want a popup window like the one I get when I use Extended Information Popup Window in my PRODUCTS details.

I want to modify my Primary template and create one called My_PrimaryPopup.html and add an image of a magnifying glass to act as a button to call the popup browser window.

I have a gif of the magnifying glass, and want to give it the right properties and perhaps a CUSTOMVAR of the popup image, so the right image pop's up for different sections.

I seem to only be able to generate html popup's manually in D'Weaver, which will mean that I have a dozen's of primary templates is there any other way of doing this ?

Thanks, Simon.

In your primary template add either (hard coded links)

<a href="javascript:ShowPopUp('mypopupimage.jpg',400,500);"><img border=0 src="mypopup.gif"></a>

And upload mypopupimage.jpg via Advanced / Additional Files.

Or, if you want to use a CUSTOMVAR then use

<a href="javascript:ShowPopUp('CUSTOMVAR:MYPOPUPIMAGE',400,500);"><img border=0 src="mypopup.gif"></a>

Here Actinic will upload the image for you (assuming you've checked Is File Name for the CUSTOMVAR)

The 400 and 500 are the width and height of the popup.

Works a treat, thanks.

Out of interest??? is it possible to put a timer on how long the popup is open ?

I prefer not to have a "close window" button, as I am a lazy browser as are many users, and perhaps after say 5 seconds window closes on its own ?

Just a thought.

Thanks, S.

What I have noticed is that the image is scaled to the window size. In this case 400 x 500 px.

Is it possible to change this ShowPopup script to open the window sized 400 x 500 but ensure the image displays at its full size even if this means only a portion of it is visible.

OR

.... have the browser window open to the image original size ??

Thanks, Simon.

I think it will only resize the image to the window if the contained image is a gif, try it with a jpg and see if it works ok.
