product previews

[web9000]

on the product detail page, i have no previews

i have removed the nav section completely and im assuming that has something to do with the previews?

i would like to have the preview thumbnails accross the bottom, is there some code i can use to call that info from the database and make the thumbs in a row instead of a column?

thanks

Hi,

This line in your cart page controls the product preview, which will display other items in the category of an item that was just clicked on:

<? include "$cart_isp_root/product_preview.php" ?>

You can accomplish the same with this code:

<? show_product_preview($crn) ?>

The difference between the 2 is the first method will be displayed in a navigation box (window.php), and the second method will not.

The templates that control the display of each item in the preview is show_product_image_bar.php. You may notice these files in the default theme folder as well:

show_product_image_bar_header.php
show_product_image_bar_footer.php

They are not currently used, so don't let them confuse you. :squirrel:

Thanks,
Jamie

i used this code

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
Other Items in this Category<br>
<? show_product_preview($crn) ?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

and i get this error

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /usr/home/machineryexchange/html/squirrelcart/functions/show_product_preview.func on line 18

That is probably because $crn is not always present. Try this instead:


<? if ($crn) { ?>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
Other Items in this Category<br>
<? show_product_preview($crn) ?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<? } ?>


Thanks,

ok, no more error, but no previews either :)

heres my entire show_product_detail.php


<center>
<form action="<?=$Form_Action?>" method="post">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<?=$Image_in_Large_Image_Link?>
</td>
<td align="left" valign="top" style="width: 100%; vertical-align: top; text-align:left; margin-left: 2">
<div class="product_name" style="margin-bottom: 10; width: 100%">
<?=$Name?>
</div>

<div class="product_price" style="margin-bottom: 10; width: 100%">
<?=$Base_Price?><br><br>
<?=$Description?>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

<? if ($crn) { ?>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
Other Items in this Category<br>
<? show_product_preview($crn) ?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<? } ?>

</form>
</center>

Ah...I see. You actually need to put that code into your cart page, not in the show_product_detail.php.
