Up-selling / Section image rollovers

[mjlloyd]

Hi,

I've just started evaluating Actinic Business and have a couple of issues I'm trying to address:

1) I am trying to build a site that includes product up-selling. Following the 'Creating an up-sell' instructions in the starter guide I have been able to create a single line of text with a checkbox, which the shopper ticks if he / she wants to purchase the associated product.

If I want to display other information / thumbnail image (with link to extended information perhaps) for the associated product, is there any way I can do this other than to hard-code HTML into the HTML for Name / Customer Message fields?

* * *

2) I want to add rollovers to my section images. Does anyone know the best way to achieve this? I've tried creating a custom property (CUSTOMIMAGENAME) for the image name, specifying a value for this property for each section and then adding

name="CUSTOMVAR:CUSTOMIMAGENAME"

to the <img> element in Act_SectionNavImage.html

and

onMouseOver="SwapImage('CUSTOMVAR:CUSTOMIMAGENAME','smlTES19.jpg')"

to the appropriate <a> element in Act_SectionLineImage.html.

However, this has not worked.

* * *

If anyone can point me in the right direction on either of these issues, that would be great.

Thanks
Mark

Hi there.

I am taking a look for you, will keep you posted.

1) With regards to the upsell, you would be required to enter the HTML for the image etc. within the 'HTML' for name' field.

2) I have had half-success with this. The following code will largely do what you want....


<A HREF="NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONLINK" onMouseOver="SwapImage('CUSTOMVAR:CUSTOMIMAGENAME','image2.gif')" onMouseOut="RestoreImage()">
<IMG SRC="image1.gif" BORDER=0 ALIGN="ABSMIDDLE" name="CUSTOMVAR:CUSTOMIMAGENAME">
</A>

As you can see, I have had to hard-code the two image filenames into the template as the section image filename is not available as a variable in the Section Link Layout template.

You may, however, be able to include all the required filenames for this template via custom properties defined at the section level.
