    Information Link Text

    Hi there

    yet another puzzler....

    does anyone know of a way to add an image/button into the "Information Link Text" part of actinic?

    I've tried using the !!<html>!! method but that particular box doesn't seem to accept it. I could put the button in the description using this method, but this seems like a work around when the info link text is crying out for it, so anyone any ideas?

    You could replace the variable NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTLINKTEXT in the product layout template with code for an image. You would probably need to put this in a new product layout template that is just used for products with links, otherwise this image will appear on all products - even those without links.

      Aha, thanks Chris.

      yes that does it!

      I just fell in with the NETQUOTEVARS for that particular portion of Actinic.
      for those wishing to do this, you must 'wrap' the <img src> with the two
      NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTBEGINLINK and
      NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTENDLINK

      and get rid of the NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTLINKTEXT as Chris so rightly explains.

      To 'activate' the link though one must put something/anything in the "Information Link Text" box under product details in Actinic and add your URL in "File/URL" box next to it.

      This will rightly be produced on every product which uses this template, so I made 2 virtually the same, 1 with the button and one without. The advanced user guide explains how to add new templates into the product layout list.

      The open in a Blank window code is as follows...

      http://www.yoururl.com" target="_blank

      This syntax looks wrong but it works, thanks to Norman Rouxel again.

        Hi.

        This is exactly what I was looking for...
        Could someone please confirm that this is the correct procedure?


        Edit the relevant Act_ProductLine*.html template as follows:

        NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTBEGINLINK<IMG SRC="b_preview.gif" alt="Read First Chapter">NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTENDLINK


        This will then use a Preview button image instead of a standard text link for the Information Link?

        Basically, our products are all eBooks or Paperbacks, and we would like to use our own "Preview" button (instead of a Text Link) for customers to sample the first chapters.

        Thanks.


        [EDIT]

        Yes. It works! Yay!
        Though to make it look exactly right, I needed to add:
        <IMG SRC="b_preview.gif" alt="Read First Chapter" border="0">

        Thanks again
