Making the infobox name a link

[mpiscopo]

I want to make it so on info boxes such as "What's New?" (any info box with a right arrow), users can click on the "What's New?" text to go to that page. Default is that they need to click on the right arrow, it's small and not intuitive for my customers.

 

I think the change is somewhere in the boxes.php, but I can't quite figure it out. I see this reference for making the right arrow a link:

 

if ($right_arrow == true) {

$right_arrow = '<a href="' . $right_arrow . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'infobox/arrow_right.gif', ICON_ARROW_RIGHT) . '</a>';

} else {

$right_arrow = '';

}

 

I just can't seem to figure out how to apply it to the box title. Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Mark

go to catalog/includes/boxes/whichever_box.php (reviews used here for example)

find this code

 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_REVIEWS);

near the top and change to this

 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<a href="'. tep_href_link(FILENAME_REVIEWS) .'">' . BOX_HEADING_REVIEWS.'</a>');

 

that should do it!

there is a contribution for this which basically is a 1 step thing

In *catalog*/includes/classes/boxes.php find this code:

 

class infoBoxHeading extends tableBox {

function infoBoxHeading($contents, $left_corner = true, $right_corner = true, $right_arrow = false) {

$this->table_cellpadding = '0';

And change it to this:

class infoBoxHeading extends tableBox {

function infoBoxHeading($contents, $left_corner = true, $right_corner = true, $right_arrow = false) {

$this->table_cellpadding = '0';

if ($right_arrow == true) $this->table_row_parameters = 'onclick="window.location=\''.$right_arrow.'\'"';

Thanks for the two responses. The first worked better because the text shows more as a link (little hand designating for the mouse cursor when scrolling over). Just have to play with the style sheet to get the colors correct...

Thank you so much! This was very useful for me! :)
