Ask a product question

Kurre · July 1, 2019

I found a Ask a proct question https://apps.oscommerce.com/WjgMM&ask-a-product-question-1-0-for-2-3 but it is for 2.3.4 BootStrap EDGE

Is there a version for the 2.3.4 CE bootstrap version too ? Or do anyone know how to change to work with it ?

Or is there a mod similar to this ?

YePix · July 1, 2019

the installation takes about 5 minutes. in the manual is how it is done. Write which oscommerce version you have installed and the file "ask_a_question.php" here

I think it is called Frozen version of the 2.3.4.1 CE Bootstrap

The instructions says

3.) Open  /catalog/product_info.php

If you have not made any prior changes to this file you can simply replace it with the included version, otherwise:

FIND near the bottom of the file:

  <div class="buttonSet row">
    <div class="col-xs-6"><?php echo tep_draw_button(IMAGE_BUTTON_REVIEWS . (($reviews['count'] > 0) ? ' (' . $reviews['count'] . ')' : ''), 'fa fa-commenting', tep_href_link('product_reviews.php', tep_get_all_get_params())); ?></div>
    <div class="col-xs-6 text-right"><?php echo tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $product_info['products_id']) . tep_draw_button(IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART, 'fa fa-shopping-cart', null, 'primary', array('params' => 'data-has-attributes="' . (($products_attributes['total'] > 0) ? '1' : '0') . '" data-in-stock="' . (int)$product_info['products_quantity'] . '" data-product-id="' . (int)$product_info['products_id'] . '"'), 'btn-success btn-product-info btn-buy'); ?></div>
  </div>

REPLACE WITH:

  <div class="buttonSet row">
    <div class="col-xs-6"><?php echo tep_draw_button(IMAGE_BUTTON_REVIEWS . (($reviews['count'] > 0) ? ' (' . $reviews['count'] . ')' : ''), 'fa fa-commenting', tep_href_link('product_reviews.php', tep_get_all_get_params())); ?></div>
<?php
    if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id') || (ALLOW_ASK_A_QUESTION == 'true'))  {
?>
    <div class="col-xs-6"><?php echo tep_draw_button(TEXT_ASK_QUESTION, 'fa fa-question', tep_href_link('ask_a_question.php', 'products_id='.$product_info['products_id'])); ?></div>
<?php
    }
?>
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-6 text-right"><?php echo tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $product_info['products_id']) . tep_draw_button(IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART, 'fa fa-shopping-cart', null, 'primary', array('params' => 'data-has-attributes="' . (($products_attributes['total'] > 0) ? '1' : '0') . '" data-in-stock="' . (int)$product_info['products_quantity'] . '" data-product-id="' . (int)$product_info['products_id'] . '"'), 'btn-success btn-product-info btn-buy'); ?></div>

The code is not there, if I look in the file includes/modules/content/product_info/templates/tpl_cm_pi_buy_button.php the code is

<div class="col-xs-<?php echo $content_width; ?> text-right cm-pi-buy-button">
  <?php 
  echo tep_draw_button(MODULE_CONTENT_PI_BUY_BUTTON_TEXT, 'fa fa-shopping-cart', null, 'primary', array('params' => 'data-has-attributes="' . (($products_attributes['total'] > 0) ? '1' : '0') . '" data-in-stock="' . (int)$product_info['products_quantity'] . '" data-product-id="' . (int)$product_info['products_id'] . '"'), 'btn-success btn-product-info btn-buy'); 
  echo tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', (int)$product_info['products_id']);
  ?>
</div>

I guess that code shoud be the code I need to change ?

this code

<div class="col-xs-<?php echo $content_width; ?> text-right cm-pi-buy-button">
  <?php 
  echo tep_draw_button(MODULE_CONTENT_PI_BUY_BUTTON_TEXT, 'fa fa-shopping-cart', null, 'primary', array('params' => 'data-has-attributes="' . (($products_attributes['total'] > 0) ? '1' : '0') .

  echo tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', (int)$product_info['products_id']);
  ?>
</div>

change with

<div class="col-xs-<?php echo $content_width; ?> text-right cm-pi-buy-button">

If you have the REVIEW module enabled, you may modify the template "tpl_cm_pi_review_button.php" to include the "Ask-a-Question" button.

Quote

<div class="col-xs-<?php echo $content_width; ?> cm-pi-review-button">
<?php
echo tep_draw_button(MODULE_CONTENT_PI_REVIEW_BUTTON_TEXT, 'fas fa-comment-alt', tep_href_link('product_reviews.php', tep_get_all_get_params()));
echo ' ';
echo tep_draw_button(TEXT_ASK_QUESTION, 'fa fa-question', tep_href_link('ask_a_question.php', 'products_id='.$product_info['products_id']));
?>
</div>

Or, if you do not use the review button, you may just comment the review button statement out with "//".

a better idea would be to create a new module to put the ask a question button instead of sticking it in an existing module, first of all you don't need to turn on a complete different module to use it, and you can have more control over where the button is placed

The button showed up and the form but I did not recive any mail..

I posted it as a separate module above. If there are problems with the email, check ask_a_question.php in catalog directory

don´t forget the language file

Kurre · July 3, 2019

I will not 😃

Kurre · July 3, 2019

@YePix Yes it worked ! Many thanks for your help, and I recived the emails to. It was the forward email in my mailbox that stopped them. This gave me the choise Allow Guest to ask a question too wich I nedeed too!

Thanks to the others too for helping!

Kurre · July 3, 2019

@YePix Saw now that Allow Guest to ask a question, any idea why not ? Nothing happens but a reload of the page.

YePix · July 3, 2019

ask_a_question.php

find:

if (!tep_session_is_registered('customer_id') && (ALLOW_ASK_A_QUESTION != 'true')) {

change with:

if (!tep_session_is_registered('customer_id') && (MODULE_CONTENT_PI_ALLOW_ASK_A_QUESTION != 'True')) {

Kurre · July 3, 2019

@YePix Thanks that worked!
