Hi all!

 

Is there a simple way to link technical terms in product descriptions to pop-up windows or Javascript pop-ups that provide an explanation of the term?

 

Some of the terms in my products are quite technical, are used for many different products, and there are often several such terms for one product. I don't want to treat the technically literate shopper like an idiot, but I also want to have non-technical shoppers able to understand the terms if they want. So I don't want a common-language explanation of every term in every item description.

 

Thanks.

DunWeb,

 

No I haven't, and it may serve another purpose that I'm not currently addressing, which is 2 specific areas of features that I want to apply.

 

But for an example of what I'm looking for: our description specify whether a product is RoHS complaint. Now not everyone knows what that is, so I'd like a customer to be able to click on a link and have an explanation come up, either through Javascript or in a spearate windows:

 

"RoHS stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances. It is a Directive of the European Union to restrict the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Specifically it sets upper limits on the use of Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Hexavalent chromium, Polybrominated biphenyls and Polybrominated diphenyl ether."

 

Clearly that's not ab explanation we'd want to include in the product description, especially when it isn't the only such explanation that may be necessary for a given product, and the same explanation may apply to many or most products in our catalogue.

I use phpGiggle for this. It plays rather nice with oscommerce, though it is not really integrated into it.

You can download it from sourceforge.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpgiggle/

 

disadvantage, unsupported piece of software, biermana website doesn't exist anymore.

 

I've looked around but have not found anything similar that was database based and easier to integrate in osCommerce admin. For now, I just use the provided admin from phpGiggle when I need to add/edit something.

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON

I do not use the responsive bootstrap version since i coded my responsive version earlier, but i have bought every 28d of code package to support burts effort and keep this forum alive (albeit more like on life support).

So if you are still here ? What are you waiting for ?!

 

Find the most frequent unique errors to fix:

grep "PHP" php_error_log.txt | sed "s/^.* PHP/PHP/g" |grep "line" |sort | uniq -c | sort -r > counterrors.txt
