Extended Product Information as a new Page

[darrentickle]

Hi

I have looked over the forum and have seen various comments about how to do the more information page not in a pop up box, but I still not sure how to do this. What I don't want to have to do is a load of html pages but have this based on a template as my entire products will have this function. To see what I'm try to do go to this link http://www.djwade.com/hsbc/cardsbirt...rhimcard1.html. Is this possible and if so what is the best why of doing.

Cheers

Darren

The thread http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=6468 in the V6 forum describes how to do this. You might need to add the NETQUOTEVARISCOUNTINFO as this was added to the Product Templates in V7.

Thanks for this. One quick question I don't seem to be able to find this:

Go to Design / Text / Phase -1 ID 2175 and replace:

javascript:ShowPopUp('%s',%s,%s);

with:

javascript:location.href=unescape('%s');

Where is this in V7. I have been looking in the site HTML but couldn't track it.

Oops. It wasn't too clear.

Do Design / Text / Click "Go to" and then enter Phase -1 ID 2175

Thanks for that. Its more likely me not knowing what I'm doing, still getting to grips with Actinic software.

Hi

I have done this and it opens in the same window but I don't seem to be able to keep the navigation around it. I want the page to look like this http://www.djwade.com/hsbc/cardsbirt...rhimcard1.html

Is this possible?

Cheers

As you have v7 you can set up a system where you have a list of products, where then each product will link through to a sub-section containing a product duplicate laid out with more information.

Instructions for this are in the knowledge base HERE.

Hi

Sorry this doesn't make much sense to me.

I have a section called Greeting Cards under products. Under the Greeting Cards Section I have a section called Anniversary. Under here I want to add 4 products but from you insturction I need to add 4 sub section under this? Then under each one I need to add the product and then duplicate them back to Anniversary Section level?

I have tried doing this but I have duplicate information appearing in the page?

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I don't seem to be able to get it to work.

Cheers

Please see the attached screenshot to give you more of an idea of how the products and duplicates need to be structured in Actinic.

You then need to edit the properties of the 'Anniversary' section and change the 'Layout' tab so that 'Location and Arrangement of Section List' is set to 'None' (you will need to select 'Override Default Settings')

Hi

Right I have got this to work, but my more informaation page still doesn't seem to have any navigation. What template do I need to modify to get this to work.

Hi

Scrap the last comment. I have now got the more information to work, I think?

I'm using the template Act_ProductLineLarge.html but all my text seems to be underlining, and this isn't coming from the style sheet. Is this alright to use this template for this or should I be using something else. If this is right, why is my text all underlined is their something that I need to change?

I have attached an image of what is happening.

Have you edited the code within the template at all?

It could be you have accidentally removed a </a> (or NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTENDLINK - which turns into an </a>) so that now everything in the template always thinks it is in a link.

As everything is in the link, the fault must be early on in the template. I think the likely suspect is the line:

<a name="NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTANCHOR"><span class="actregular"><b>NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTNAME</b></span></a>

Check the </a> is still at the end.

Hi Chris

I don't seem to be able to see a missing </a> and also I don't seem to be using NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTENDLINK in the template

The code that I'm using is as follows:

<!-- ProductLine HTML begin -->
<!-- Insert HTML for the top of the individual product -->
<!--NETQUOTEVAR:INCLUDE Act_ProductSeparator.html -->
NETQUOTEVAR:ENDSEPARATOR
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMBEGIN
<!--Page Contents Start-->
<div class="ProductpageTableContent">
<div class="ProductMiddleImageContainer">
<div class="ProductMiddleImage">NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTIMAGE</div>
</div>
<div class="ProductMiddleTextContainer">
<h3>What's it like?</h3>
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTDESCRIPTION
<h3>Price</h3>
<p>NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTPRICE</p>
<h3>Product Number</h3>
<p>NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTREF</p>
<p class="linkheading">NETQUOTEVAR:CARTERRORXML
<!-- NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTQUANTITY -->
Qty:
<input type="text" size="4" name="Q_NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTREFERENCE" value="1"> <Actinic:ACTIONS>NETQUOTEVAR:ADDTOCARTBUTTON</Actinic:ACTIONS>
</p>
NETQUOTEVAR:TEMPLATEENDXML
</div>
</div>
<div class="spacer"></div>
<div class="productlineh"></div>
</div>
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMEND
NETQUOTEVAR:NEXT
<!-- Insert HTML for the bottom of the individual product -->
<!-- ProductLine HTML end -->

Is this some other tag that I'm using here that I shouldn't.

Cheers

Looks fine. Could you give me a URL where I can see the error for myself?

Are you seeing the error in all browsers?

You should really have the peoduct anchor in your pages. E.g.:-

<a name="NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTANCHOR"><span class="actregular"><b>NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTNAME</b></span></a>

(not necessarily wrapped around the product name) as this anchor is how people get to your products from the search results page.
