Here are instructions on making the Extended Info popup page have the Add to Cart button. You could then use a very compact main product template with a small image us usual (no need for CustomVar's) and have the full info and Image in the popup.
V6 - Making a pop-up product info page with Add to Cart button.
Don't use on sections with "Quantity On product page" as errors (invalid quantity, etc)
are sent back to the calling page and in this case it would be the popup page that has
already closed it's window.
PATCHING INSTRUCTIONS
********** Edit Act_ProductBody.html (this is the only patch to an existing template)
********** and add the following just after the start:-
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
// set the window name to unique value
Now = new Date();
var WindowName = "W" + Now.getTime();
window.name = WindowName;
//-->
</script>
********** Make a new Extended Info template CartButton_ExtendedInfo.html
********** (if you want all your popups to work this way then save this as the
********** default template ExtendedInfo.html (backup your original first)
