Change buy now to url link

K-P · July 29, 2004

Is it possible to change the buy now button into a link to the product url instead of adding the item to the basket, it's easy to do it in product_info,

Trying to create a link directory, just seems to be this one stumbling block,

any help appreciated

Thanks

Which buy now button do you mean? The one on the product_info.php page, or the one when you are browsing categories and all the products are displayed in rows in a table with a buy now button??

K-P · July 29, 2004

the one when browsing categories used by /includes/modules/product_listing.php

Thanks

rcmdesign · July 29, 2004

Sure, search for the following in includes/modules/product_listing.php

case 'PRODUCT_LIST_BUY_NOW':
           $lc_align = 'center';
           $lc_text = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF), tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=buy_now&products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_buy_now.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_BUY_NOW) . '</a> ';
           break;

and replace with

case 'PRODUCT_LIST_BUY_NOW':
           $lc_align = 'center';
           $lc_text = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, ($cPath ? 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&' : '') . 'products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_buy_now.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_BUY_NOW) . '</a> ';
           break;

nah, that didn't work,

would it not have to go through redirect.php?

Thanks for the reply

rcmdesign · July 29, 2004

What exactly are you trying to do? The steps I just posted would have turned the buy now button when you are browsing for products in a category into a direct link to the product....

K-P · July 29, 2004

sorry, i meant to the product link url, (external link to the manufacturer site about the product)

rcmdesign · July 29, 2004

So you want the buy_now button to go to the product_link for that product?

K-P · July 29, 2004

yes

e.g. microsoft product and the buy now button goes to microsoft.com

rcmdesign · July 29, 2004

So for the specific product, you have it setup to for example, mirosoft, and in the manufacturer's admin area you added the microsoft web site, and you want the buy now button where it displays all the products to go directly to the manufacturer's web site of that product?

K-P · July 29, 2004

no,

when adding a new product, theres a products url box,

i would like it when the buy now button is clicked it will go to the product url

rcmdesign · July 29, 2004

You are confusing the hell out of me :huh:

Do you have a site you can show me, and list the steps of what you mean...

K-P · July 29, 2004

i'm trying to mod osc into a link directory, to external links

say i add a new product in admin e.g. fifa2004 pc game

i put in the product description etc..

then i come to the products url box and put the url to the game http://www.fifa2004.com

i would like it so that when you see the category view the buy-now button will go to the http://www.fifa2004.com page

(i've already got it to do this in the product_info page it's the just the product_listing one i can't do)

rcmdesign · July 29, 2004

Change the code from before to, see if this works

case 'PRODUCT_LIST_BUY_NOW':
? ? ? ? ? $lc_align = 'center';
? ? ? ? ? $lc_text = '<a href="' . $listing['products_url'] . '">' . tep_image_button('button_buy_now.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_BUY_NOW) . '</a> ';
? ? ? ? ? break;

K-P · July 29, 2004

it just links to my homepage :(

thanks for your help so far tho mate

rcmdesign · July 29, 2004

Do you have a link so I can see what's happening?

K-P · July 29, 2004

http://www.kpweb.co.uk/index.php?cPath=1_4

(i want the link in the place of the current buy now slot, i'll change the buttom once the link works)

rcmdesign · July 29, 2004

Well right now those products you sent me don't have a link on them. And do you want the name of the product to link to the site also, just like the buy now button. Or do you want to name of the product to go to the product_info.php like it does now...

P.S. There are a lot easier things to use in PHP than osCommerce for a site with just links..For example, http://www.phpnuke.org

K-P · July 29, 2004

http://www.kpweb.co.uk/product_info.php?cP...4&products_id=1

click reviews

i basically want the buy_now buttom in the category view to link externally link the review buttom does in product_info

♥yesudo · July 29, 2004

is this affiliate based ? do you put your affiliate id in the link ?

what code are u using ?

the underlying link should call to the db to get the product home url.

rcmdesign · July 29, 2004

Show me the code you changed in product_info.php

K-P · July 29, 2004

basically i've looked at link directorys but i've always prefered the osc layout with the images being shown eg i can do a microsoft link have info about microsoft in the product_info and have the microsoft image in the product_listing,

i don't want it as just listing someone elses products and me getting paid for the link to them,

i really want it as a big link directory like yell.com

 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?<td class="main" align="center"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_REDIRECT, 'action=url&goto=' . urlencode($product_info['products_url'])) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_reviews.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_REVIEWS) . '</a>'; ?></td>

is for the review link that goes externallly

So if you are using that code, this should work:

case 'PRODUCT_LIST_BUY_NOW':
         $lc_align = 'center';
         $lc_text = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_REDIRECT, 'action=url&goto=' . urlencode($listing['products_url'])) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_buy_now.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_BUY_NOW) . '</a> ';
         break;
