Hi,

You can edit the translation file via the configuration under the tab languages and edit the line:
FREE_PRICE="Free"
You could for example put:
FREE_PRICE="<img src='YOUR_IMAGE_LINK' /> Contact us"

For your second point, I'm not sure what you want to do. Could you be more explicit ?

hi,
my second Q was if the contact us can be a link? sometimes users want to ask Q about a product so i want to give them a link that they can ask Q about the product, but now when i am thinking about it its quite complicate beacause i will need to get the product detail if i want to know about which product they asked a question?

BTW - can i put that FREE_PRICE="<img src='YOUR_IMAGE_LINK' /> Contact us" in the translation page?

You could indeed add a link in the FREE_PRICE translation, the same way you can add an image in it.
However, you won't be able to directly use the product information in the link (that could be done by editing the view displaying the price though).

I'm not sure what is your new question ? In my previous post I told you to replace the FREE_PRICE translation which is in the translation file by that new translation which would include the image. So yes, you can put it there.

thanks nicola, i made a review allready at joomla about your amazing support.
from your answer: "you won't be able to directly use the product information in the link (that could be done by editing the view displaying the price though)". i can understand that i can do it, can you explain how to do that?

In the file listing_price that you can edit via the menu Display->Views you will find that code at the beginning:

Code:

echo JText::_('FREE_PRICE');

You could replace it by:

Code:

if(!empty($this->element->product_id)){
   echo "<a href='YOUR_LINK&PRODUCT_NAME=".$this->element->product_name."'><img src='YOUR_IMAGE_LINK' /> Contact us</a>";
}else{
   echo JText::_('FREE_PRICE');
}

You said that you wanted to make a clickable button to go somewhere else. So I gave you the code to do that. But I don't know where you want your users to go once they click on the link. So I wrote YOUR_LINK. You should of course replace YOUR_LINK with the link to where you want your users to go (your website's contact form for example).

Mmmm. That was an example of how to do it supposing that you change the contact form view etc.

If you want, you can do simpler like this:

Code:

<a href='mailto:youremail@yourwebsite.com?subject'=Enquiry for ".$this->element->product_name."'>

This way, the link will open the email client of the user with the receiver set to your email and the subject being "Enquiry for your product"

You can do with the contact form but the joomla contact form doesn't support to give information in the subject via the URL. You might be able to do it by changing the way the contact form is generated in Joomla but that's not something we can help with as it's not linked with HikaShop and we don't know the contact component much.
Another way could be to use a form component to generate a form and passe the information to the form component.

when i am using: <a href='mailto:youremail@yourwebsite.com?subject'=Enquiry for ".$this->element->product_name."'>
and the email is opening, the subject remain empthy, you have a suggestion to solve it?

a suggestion for the future:
sometimes people want to ask the seller Questions about the product before buying it, its important to have on each product page a "ask the seller" link.

thanks a lot for your help.

Maybe your email client doesn't support adding a subject to a new email automatically from the URL. It should work with outlook but doesn't with gmail or yahoo based on what I could read online.
There's nothing we can do to fix that. The problem is your email client which doesn't support that.
