Editing the Content of '2nd' Pop Up Window

[sean_jackson]

I've implemented a 2nd pop up page (following page 37 of the AUG) with some success - in the sense that it opens and I can control its width/height paramaters etc.. but I am at a loss to see how I can edit the image and text content inside it - it is currently duplicating my main pop up window's content at the moment.


It does state in the aug that:

"Currently the page will contain the same content as a standard extended information window – so edit the layout of 'Extra Information Page' as you see fit. Also, you can create additional layouts within the 'Extended Info Layout 2' group to create a range of alternative extended information pages for your products."

Should I be seeing a new field for editing in the Product details tab (other than the newly created 'enable 2nd popup page' & 'Layout for 2nd information page' ? - basically how can I add new content to this window?

Can anyone give me a positive steer here - or am I missing something obvious

regards. Sean

That window can contain any Variables and Layouts that you could use for a product. This includes ones you create yourself. So you can create text variables for your title and description and a file one for an image and then use these instead of the existing placeholders.

The assorted guides, built-in Help and the Forum should explain what you'll need to do.

thanks Norman - I must apply myself & learn to create variables - it'll do me good no doubt(!)

Good luck. Text variables are easy. File ones (i.e. for images) need a bit of code around them e.g.

<actinic:block if="<actinic:variable name="MyImageFileName" /> != """>
  <img src="<actinic:variable name="MyImageFileName" />" />
</actinic:block>

Otherwise you'd generate a spurious <img src="" /> if you weren't using this variable on that product.
