link to custom field was created by PeterP

Hi.
I did create custom field for my products as WYSIWYG, where I planning to put in HTML code product details.
What I want, I like to be showing as popup link (using Lightbox) under one of my already create text field .

here is my php code:

Code:

<?php } ?>
          <td class="hikashop_product_name_row">
            <span class="hikashop_product_name">
              <?php if($this->params->get('link_to_product_page',1)){ ?>
              <a href="<?php echo $link;?>">
                <?php }
                echo $this->row->product_name;
               
                if($this->params->get('link_to_product_page',1))
    echo '</a>';
                 echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;"; 
                echo $this->row->product_info;
                  echo JHTML::_('content.prepare',$this->row->audio_sample);
              
                if($this->params->get('link_to_product_page',1)){ ?>
              
              <?php } ?>
            </span>
            <?php if(!empty($this->row->extraData->afterProductName)) { echo implode("\r\n",$this->row->extraData->afterProductName); } ?>
          </td>

echo $this->row->product_info; --- text field column name under which I want to put link.
product_details --- new to be linked column name.

I hope I did put enough info to understand.
Please help me with solution.
Thank you .

If I know direct link to custom field I can code this inside product_info data.
here is how can be done if I want to link to YouTube page:

Code:

<a data-lightbox="on" href="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZpCNso_wdEQ?rel=0"><img src="images/myimg/YouTube_logo_standard_white.png" border="0" width="36" height="24" title="LINK TO VIDEO" /></a>

Copy from other already working custom field.
Here is my stuck problem: How I can replace external link to local custom field URL link?
I hope can be done.

I know already how to link to Article(article has external link), but I really want to be done inside product listing, is more organize, I think to use multiply language HikaShop option instead create language times product times article.

Hi,

So you want that the link opens a popup with the video of the URL inserted in a custom field to display in a player if I understand. That will require another page on the website, like a joomla article (yes) so that you can embed a Joomla extension video player in it to display the video.
I don't see another possibility as the popup has to open another page and the simplest way to have another page on your website is to create a Joomla article.

I did the way I know.
I create html page on supporting server.
I create link in Lightbox code inside custom field product_info together with Tooltip code

Code:

<a data-lightbox="width:900" href="http://performersheaven.net/htmsupport/agnieszka.html">{tip Style creating on PA600::testing and working on Pa600,Pa800,Pa900 and Pa3x::Click for more info}Details{/tip}</a>

and is working exactly how I want

www.performersheaven.com/index.php?optio...g&Itemid=586&lang=en
hover on Details Style 01 and click.
But I was hoping instead using separate page I can use custom field data and store there HTML code, was be more easy to organize 1000+ inputs.
Maybe that's give you something to think for next version , some extra option

I did try do using article, but Article in pop window using URL link is opening with entire menus and other modules, I want only Simple HTML page.

If you be kind and give me idea how I can translate word Details using Joomla translation.
this string is inside the code. :unsure:

I'm really have no clue how to approach to this .
custom HTML pop page I decide to leave static for all language (to much to translate)

but the word "Details" is visible next to all other words already translated.
Thanks

Hi,

Since that text is in a custom product field, The best would be to enter in your custom field only a translation key like DETAILS_FOR_PRODUCT_1 and then add a translation override:

Code:

DETAILS_FOR_PRODUCT_1="<a data-lightbox='width:900' href='http://performersheaven.net/htmsupport/agnieszka.html'>{tip Style creating on PA600::testing and working on Pa600,Pa800,Pa900 and Pa3x::Click for more info}Details{/tip}</a>"

for each one of your languages, and finally editing the view file to replace the code:
echo $this->row->product_details;

with :
echo JText::_($this->row->product_details);

and that should do it.

Yeah, that's will work, only thing is I have to do so many overwrite translations. :huh:
You are programmer, so you know the goal of programming... make simple is possible, using some catchy fix script and make global,
Thank you anyway , is still solution.
for now I maybe use, but my thinking was: you already have default fields, for example product code which is linking to product details, if I can somehow clone code with customize changing and make simple custom field link_to call "Details" and on back end text box with address to be linking was be cool, I can sacrifice tooltip, is not really that imported .
You think is possible?

I did try using custom field "link" , but after I input working URL on Back End , on front end I see only text, not clickable.
Do I miss something, do I need include <a href> syntax ? :unsure:

I did figure out link field.
has to be syntax, I did put

Code:

<a href="http://performersheaven.net/htmsupport/agnieszka.html" target="_blank" title="Click for more Info">Details</a>

and I came to started point. :dry:
still need many translations, unless I try instead text box try use WYSIWYG and try to add Language switch above on Back end.

Hi,

To avoid all these translations, you can potentially use the code:

Code:

echo '<a href="'.$this->row->product_details.'" target="_blank" title="Click for more Info">Details</a>';

And in the product custom field just put the link to the desired page.

Thank you Xavier.
I didn't try yet but this is very good idea, but still need Translation key only 1 for each language.
Translate : "Click for more Info" and "Details" strings.
I making strong coffee now and I will jump on this, see how this will work.

well...

I still need professional help

here is my code:

Code:

<td class="hikashop_product_name_row">
            <span class="hikashop_product_name">
              <?php if($this->params->get('link_to_product_page',1)){ ?>
              <a href="<?php echo $link;?>">
                <?php }
                echo $this->row->product_name;
               
                if($this->params->get('link_to_product_page',1))
    echo '</a>';
                 echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;"; 
                echo  $this->row->product_info;                  
                echo JHTML::_('content.prepare',$this->row->audio_sample);
              
                if($this->params->get('link_to_product_page',1)){ ?>
              
              <?php } ?>
            </span>
            <?php if(!empty($this->row->extraData->afterProductName)) { echo implode("\r\n",$this->row->extraData->afterProductName); } ?>
          </td>

I working on this line: echo $this->row->product_info;
I like Xavier idea, but also I want to include my Translation key.
My thinking is : replace: echo $this->row->product_info; for echo JText::_($this->row->product_details);
and in translation : instead link somehow put other variable : custom field : style_details_link
and then in this field put just URL address.
I'm not sure if I can include PHP code in translation :unsure:

I'm kinda lost here
I will trying testing , but if you know how can be done, I will appreciate

kinda stuck

Code:

echo '<a href="'.$this->row->style_details_link.'" target="_blank" title="Click for more Info">Details</a>';

Is possible instead Details there put translation key: PRODUCT_DETAILS ?
something like :

Code:

echo '<a href="'.$this->row->style_details_link.'" target="_blank" title="Click for more Info"><?php echo JText::_( 'PRODUCT_DETAILS' );?></a>';

I'm running of clues

or maybe add some script like:
If langage = ENG then:
echo '<a href="'.$this->row->style_details_link.'" target="_blank" title="Click for more Info">Details</a>';
if language =POL then:
echo '<a href="'.$this->row->style_details_link.'" target="_blank" title="Klick po wiecej info">Szczegoly</a>';
end if
something like that. :unsure:

Here is a simple solution:

Keep the solution you had with the HTML

Code:

<a data-lightbox="width:900" href="http://performersheaven.net/htmsupport/agnieszka.html">{tip Style creating on PA600::testing and working on Pa600,Pa800,Pa900 and Pa3x::Click for more info}Details{/tip}</a>

in the custom field and instead of:
echo $this->row->product_details;

use that code:
echo str_replace('Details',JText::_('DETAILS'),$this->row->product_details);

Then, you can simply have such translation override, one per language:
DETAILS="Details"

Code:

<a data-lightbox="width:900" href="http://performersheaven.net/htmsupport/agnieszka.html">{tip Style creating on PA600::testing and working on Pa600,Pa800,Pa900 and Pa3x::Click for more info}Details{/tip}</a>

is going to custom field or translation?
can you tell me all including php code in table_listing.php ?
to make sure we on same page:
Detail is static only translate
tooltip " Style creating on PA600::testing and working on Pa600,Pa800,Pa900 and Pa3x::Click for more info" is variable input in custom field product page (this I like to be translate, but if is to much I will skip translation)
Beside I can create for tooltip translation key for each Language, is going to be only few version
I can do something like: TOOLTIP1, TOOLTIP2 etc and translate
URL address is variable, every style has different set of sounds,STSs, Pads etc... everyone gonna has own HTML page as a info

I said I my message that the HTML code has to go in the custom field.
And I gave you the PHP code to include in your view: echo str_replace('Details',JText::_('DETAILS'),$this->row->product_details);
So you already have the answers to your questions.
And yes, we're on the same page.
