Linking banner to _self (same window)

[Guest]

Searched for long and hard, but ended up trying my basic html knowledge.

 

open includes/functions/banner.php in your favourite editor

 

Find line

 

$banner_string = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_REDIRECT, 'action=banner&goto=' . $banner['banners_id']) . '" target="_blank">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $banner['banners_image'], $banner['banners_title']) . '</a>';

 

change to:

$banner_string = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_REDIRECT, 'action=banner&goto=' . $banner['banners_id']) . '" target="_self">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $banner['banners_image'], $banner['banners_title']) . '</a>';

 

Tried and tested. Works well thus far.

 

Dont forget to backup before making changes to your code!

No need to make any other changes unless you have some customizing that is being done. Just remove target="_blank from around line 87 of banner.php in the url line. _blank means new window, _self means same frame, _top means whole page. It's same code as with standard html links, just sliced for usage in php.

Test in your shop:

 

If you have any product in a basquet, and you click in any banner... your basquet change to busy.

 

My comment: its necessary some modification plus to no lost the basquet in the same session.

 

Something know the mod necessary to no lost the session?

Chane the line no 86

$banner_string = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_REDIRECT, 'action=banner&goto=' . $banner['banners_id']) . '" >' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $banner['banners_image'], $banner['banners_title']) . '</a>';

TO

 

$banner_string = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '" >' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $banner['banners_image'], $banner['banners_title']) . '</a>';

This will work for header banners and will redirect to index page

How would I change this is my line looks like this....

 

$banner_string = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_REDIRECT, 'action=banner&goto=' . $banner['banners_id']) . '" target="_blank">' . mm_output_flash_movie( $banner['banners_title'], DIR_WS_IMAGES . $banner['banners_image'] , $size[0] , $size[1]) . '</a>';
