Adding a button where the review button used to be in product_info.php

[Rachael w.]

I've spend quite some time searching the forums to no avail.

 

This is what I would like to do.

 

I would like a button in the area at the bottom of the product info page where the reviews button would be (I removed it).

 

I would like this button to be a "make offer" button which brings up a contact us form with "Offer" as the subject.

 

I have tried the make offer mod, but I found I was unable to get it to work properly with other mods I have installed and I believe a button with an email form will do just find for now.

 

I just have no clue how to build a workable button for that area. (I dont need help with the image, just the code and placement)

 

Thank you in advance for your help!

Bump, still looking for help on this one.

 

I'll even be happy with a link to instructions. I dont need it built for me, just some instruction.

 

Thanks!

mailto links can be built like this:

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?&subject=Making an Offer&body=I can offer you  ">

 

make sure you're outside the php where you place the link. You could alternately place some php in there with the product_id so they don't have to fill it in. You just know they're going to do that and make you ask which product in your reply. Looks better if you automatically know. One way is to drop it all in php and escape it for the text. The other way is to drop bits of php into it for your store's email address and the product_id.

 

Another route is to have it link to a parallel Contact Us page called contact_offer.php or like that. Just copy what you need of the contact_us.php and rename it. You'll need filenames and language files to match, but it isn't hard.

Thanks! I used a contrib I found and edited it to my liking. I just wanted to be able to have a "make offer" button.
