Thumbnail

[mrichards]

Hi,

I am integrating jQuery Fancybox with the products listings, in Actinic V7.0.7

The fancybox is running fine but I can not get the thumbnail to appear on the page. The code for the Act_ProductImage.html is as follows:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("a#single_image").fancybox();
});
</script>
<div align="center">
<a href="NETQUOTEVAR:IMAGEFILE" id="single_image">
<img id="thumbnail" src="NETQUOTEVAR:ProductThumbnailImageFileName" border="0"><br />
enlarge image
</a>
</div>

There are also 3 javascript calls in both Act_Primary.html and Act_BrochurePrimary.html.

If you need to check the code it should be viewable at http://www.cardsforeveryone.co.uk although this is currently in production so may be up and down.

I haven't tested your code, but just to check that you have your netquotevars in upper case as I don't think they work in lower case.

Sorry I have been testing alot of different netquotevars and copied the last one used

Assuming that IMAGEFILE is one of your own user defined properties, you should use CUSTOMVAR:IMAGEFILE, not NETQUOTEVAR.

No I am trying to access the thumbnail from the standard box from the general tab in the product.

NETQUOTEVAR:IMAGEFILE points to the image input box from the same tab, I am wondering if there is a NETQUOTEVAR that will access this property. The advanced guide's NETQUOTEVAR Dictionary explains that it is NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTTHUMBNAILIMAGE but whenever I do this the NETQUOTEVAR is not converted into a value but is let as a text string

Not a problem sorted it out myself, when you call the Act_ProductImage.html file it places either the thumbnail or large image in the document, the choice comes from the Act_ProductLine.html file and I had to move my custom code into the later file to get it to work.

Thank for all the help though...

Yes. There isn't an atomic thumbnail filename variable. You have to use NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTTHUMBNAILIMAGE to display the thumbnail and this re-uses the Act_ProductImage.html template and spits out a complete <img .../> tag..

A pain if you wanted different code within product and thumbnail images.
