Description:

Customers often will not refer to a model number or a correct
product name when asking about a product. This add-on will guarantee the
correct product info and question are sent to the appropriate person.

This is a modified "Tell a Friend", but works just fine for the above needs.

<script language="javascript"><!--
document.write('<?php echo '<a href="javascript:popupWindow(\\\'' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_POPUP_IMAGE, 'pID=' . $product_info['products_id']) . '\\\')">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $product_info['products_image'], addslashes($product_info['products_name']), SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT, 'hspace="5" vspace="5"') . '<br>' .

1. The file you would be changing in MAX would be templates/content/product_info.tpl.php as MAX is based on an excellent template mod.
2. Removing those lines in 2 removes the javascript function to pop up a new resized window however the lines directly after that allow for a similar function/behaviour in non javascript enabled browsers: IE:
<noscript>
<?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $product_info['products_image']) . '" target="_blank">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $product_info['products_image'], $product_info['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT, 'hspace="5" vspace="5"') . '<br>' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>'; ?>
</noscript>
If you leave that in - your pop up should still work although it may be in a larger - full sized window.
