Image titles??

August 11, 2006

Hello,

I've added additional images to my store in the 'Products Description' area. I'd like to use the products name as the title for each images, just like it is when you hover over the image for the product.

I've tried:

<img src="asd.gif" alt="<?php echo $products_name; ?>">

and

<a  onClick="details=window.open('m15series_files/ar001m1.jpg')" title="<?php echo $products_name; ?>"> something </a>

just using "<?php echo $products_name; ?>" alone wont even pull up the prodict name.

How can I do this?

TIA :-)

if I understood you correctly, you want to use php in the description field ... you need the eval function for that:

Thanks, I quickly copied and pasted that code but It just left me with the code showing in the end.

Would you help me alittle with it or break it down for me to understand. I'm not very good with php as you can see.

<?php $product_info['products_description'] = "
<table border=0 width=100% cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td width=100%>
<?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_ALSO_PURCHASED_PRODUCTS); ?>
</td></tr></table>
"; ?>

<?php eval (' ?> ' . $product_info['products_description'] . ' <?php '); ?>

That code left me with no new table and "<?php eval (' ?> ' . $product_info['products_description'] . ' <?php '); ?>" showing.

Thanks

try an echo before the eval

August 11, 2006

nope no luck... :-(

its weird... in the preview and as a updated product display the page acts like theres an open tag somewhere but there isnt...

<?php $product_info['products_name'] = "
<table border=1 width=100% cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td width=100%>
<?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_ALSO_PURCHASED_PRODUCTS); ?>
</td></tr></table>
"; ?>

<?php echo eval (' ?> ' . $product_info['products_name'] . ' <?php '); ?>

Why wont a simple echo work? Its all pulling from the same info

playing with it some more...

shouldnt "<?php echo $product_info['products_name'] ?>" bring up the products name?

I made a simple little php file and for what I wanted it works just cant figure out why I cant do it in this.

<html>
hello world :-)<BR><BR>
<?php 
$test = "test title"
?>
<a href="http://www.cnn.com" title="<?php echo $test ?>">
<img src="2.gif"></a>
<BR><BR>should have worked
</html>

is that not what you have added as php to the products descriptin? I have not used eval myself, so please google it.

Well for one lets look at this code

<?php echo eval (' ?> ' . $product_info['products_name'] . ' <?php '); ?>

You have this

 ' . $product_info['products_name'] . '

between ?> and <? so how is the PHP engine suppose to render php code if you have it closed off.

This should work <?php echo $product_info['products_name'] ?> if not try the above like this.

<?php echo eval (' . $product_info['products_name'] . '); ?>

can't promise you anything though.

$test = "test title"
?>
<a href="http://www.cnn.com" title="<?php echo $test ?>">
<img src="2.gif"></a>

</html>

That was just something I simple made up to see if what I wanted to do would work in a clean environment and it does.

I've tried a simple echo in the products description and it doesnt bring up the product name. Maybe I'm calling for the wrong name. I've tried:

<?php echo $products_name; ?>
<?php echo $product_info['products_name'] ?>
<?php echo eval (' . $product_info['products_name'] . '); ?>

with no luck.

I guess I'll just keep fighting with it. Thanks for your time :-)

Silverado05 · August 11, 2006

Try this:

<?php echo $product_info['products_name']; ?>

♥Monika in Germany · August 11, 2006

can you please rephrase your first plans?

were you adding images to products description? if yes, with what code?

August 11, 2006

Try this:

<?php echo $product_info['products_name']; ?>

nope no luck... :'( LOL :angry:

Silverado05 · August 11, 2006

I don't see why you can't just add the Alt name manually since you are having to add the <img src... yada yada yada. I know by default the thumbnails do this. So you could look up that code and see how they have it.

August 11, 2006

Sorry dont mean to be confusing you.

I'm adding a table in the products description to organize more information. I'm also adding more images in the description that customers can click and view a larger image. The 'main' image for the product that osCom lets you add has a title based on the products name. I'd like to do that with the additional pictures I'm adding. Have their title also be the products name.

Example of what I have is:

<table class="des" width="100%" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<TR>
<td>Weight</td>
<td>2737.0g</td>
</tr><tr>
<td>blah </td>
<td>asda</td>
</tr><tr>
<td>aseseaf</td>
<td>sadfasdf</td>
</tr><tr>
<td>asdfasdf</td>
<td>300</td>
</tr><tr>
<td>asdfesf</td>
<td>sadfasdf</td>
</tr><tr>
<td>asdfasdf</td>
<td>asdfasdf</td>
</tr><tr>
<td>asdfasdf</td>
<td>asdfasdfa</td>
</tr><tr>
<td valign="top">Notes</td>
<td>Metal Body <br>
more description here<BR>
and here too...</td>
</tr>
<!##### Pictures go below here ####>
<TR><TD colspan="2" align="middle">
<a style="cursor:help" onClick="details=window.open('m15series_files/ar001m1.jpg', 'details', 'scrollbars= no toolbar=no, status = no, height =350, width = 650')" 
title="<?php echo $product_info['products_name'] ?>">
<img src="m15series_files/ar001m1.jpg" border="0" width="100"></a>
</TD></TR></table>

thought I'd save myself some time insted of editing every image code. but I think I'm wasting more time trying to figure this out. lol

The default code in "product_info.php" is:

<td align="center" class="smallText">
<script language="javascript"><!--
document.write('<?php echo '<a href="java script:popupWindow(\\\'' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_POPUP_IMAGE, 'pID=' . $product_info['products_id']) . '\\\')">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $product_info['products_image'], addslashes($product_info['products_name']), SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT, 'hspace="5" vspace="5"') . '<br>' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>'; ?>');
//--></script>
<noscript>
<?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $product_info['products_image']) . '" target="_blank">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $product_info['products_image'], $product_info['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT, 'hspace="5" vspace="5"') . '<br>' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>'; ?>
</noscript>
		  </td>

but since I know little to nothing of php its all rather jiberish to me. :-(

Thanks for your help

<img src="m15series_files/ar001m1.jpg"  alt="PICTURE TITLE HERE" border="0" width="100"></a>

Sounds like the easiest way is just to manually enter each one. I mean you are hard coding the img in and you have to add the php code anyways to each one. Sometimes you can't copy and past everything.

Silverado05 · August 11, 2006

gimme a sec and let me look further into the code

August 11, 2006

lol yeah i might just edit everyone. oh well it was a thought...

Silverado05 · August 11, 2006

Yea it might be just as easy to add the title to the alt tag. I see your intentions which isn't a bad idea. It might be just as easy to enter each one anyways. Instead of copy and pasting the php code into each alt. Just copy and past the Alt=title into each one for that product.

August 11, 2006

ok

Thanks for your time. :-)

♥Monika in Germany · August 11, 2006

so you have not been adding to your products description (database field) at all? hehe ... you want to add it to your products detail page :-)

well that's a piece of cake.

Show me the code for your extra images and I add the name and whatever you want.

August 11, 2006

like I said before, I don't know php too well... :-(

The image codes are

<a style="cursor:help" onClick="details=window.open('m15series_files/ar001m1.jpg', 'details', 'scrollbars= no toolbar=no, status = no, height =350, width = 650')" 
title="###Where I'm trying to call the echo###">
<img src="m15series_files/ar001m1.jpg" border="0" width="100"></a>

<a style="cursor:help" onClick="details=window.open('m15series_files/ar001m1.jpg', 'details', 'scrollbars= no toolbar=no, status = no, height =350, width = 650')" 
title="###Where I'm trying to call the echo###">
<img src="m15series_files/ar001m1.jpg" border="0" width="100"></a>

title is not going to work you need to add it like this

<img src="m15series_files/ar001m1.jpg" ALT="TTILE GOES HERE" border="0" width="100">

so it would be like this

<a style="cursor:help" onClick="details=window.open('m15series_files/ar001m1.jpg', 'details', 'scrollbars= no toolbar=no, status = no, height =350, width = 650')" 
<img src="m15series_files/ar001m1.jpg" ALT="TTILE GOES HERE" border="0" width="100"></a>

Now TTILE GOES HERE can be the manually entered title or if you figure it the php code.

♥Monika in Germany · August 11, 2006

you want the same image to show for all products?

<a style="cursor:help" onClick="details=window.open('m15series_files/ar001m1.jpg', 'details', 'scrollbars= no toolbar=no, status = no, height =350, width = 650')">
<?php echo tep_image('m15series_files/ar001m1.jpg', $product_info['products_name'], '100'); ?></a>

August 11, 2006

the title code works just fine. Its ment to bring the title next to the curser. The Alt code is if the image isnt there, kinda like a place holder.

I just cant get the echo to pull the product name.

What I would like to have is: HERE with the Product name popping up when you hover.

If its not doable then oh well. I'll just add the Product name in for each image.

Image titles??
