Adding default text and an image to product decsription.

[corkyballs]

Hello to all on the forum from an absolute OSC virgin.

 

I want to include a disclaimer and a picture of a colour swatch at the bottom of every product info page.

 

When I ran the idea by a colleague he suggested calling a java script from product_info.php but he has gone on leave for 2 weeks so can't explain until he gets back. I get the general idea but have no idea on the syntax used to call a java script from deep inside product_info.php.

 

Can anyone else help or do you have any other suggestions ?

 

TIA

Why do you need javascript? A simple <?php echo TEXT_PRODUCT_INFO_DISCLAIMER; ?> should work for the disclaimer (once you define it in includes/languages/english/product_info.php, at least), and for the color swatch, well, it depends on how you're doing it. But putting content that doesn't change by product in the product_info page would be pretty easy.

I accomplish that by putting all the code, etc.. into one product, and then Copy (duplicate not link) that product over and over and then just make the necessary small changes to the copied product.

 

Also, for popups (color swatches, etc...):

 

You can put javascript & html code in the product description.

 

I put this in my product descriptions to show the designs on clothing.

Example: Example

 

 

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
 <!--
function ShowPopup(page,name,options)
{
Window = window.open(page,name,options);
}

// -->
</SCRIPT>

<TABLE BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=6 CELLPADDING=6>
<TR>
<TD align="center"> 
<a href="javascript:;" onClick="ShowPopup('http://www.thepartyfowl.com/..../onGarmentImage.jpg','popup','resizable=yes, width=480,height=640');">
<img src="http://www.thepartyfowl.com/..../onGarmentImage-Thumbnail.jpg" width="80" height="100" border="1"></a>
</TD>
<TD>
<!-- place for a second image -->
</TD>
</TR><TR>
<TD> 
<p align="center"><font face="Verdana" size="1">Design shown on a garment<BR>Click to Enlarge</font>
</TD>

<TD>
<!-- place for a second image  text-->
</TD>
</TR> 
</TABLE>

 

I believe (but I have not done it) that u can put the javascript in application_top.php so it's not duplication in each product description.
