problem with javascript and pop-up

[antoinebp]

Hello,

I tried to installed on my webshop the contrib MVS Shipping Cost Estimator v1.1b
I would like this estimator to be in an infobox, not during the checkout. The box appears normally but no pop-up when I click on it, even if my pop-up blocker is switched off.
Here is the file for the infobox includes/boxes/estimate_shipping.php:

<?php

?>
<!-- information //-->
<tr>
<td>
<?php
$info_box_contents = array();
$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => 'Estimate Shipping');
new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);
$info_box_contents = array();
$info_box_contents[] = array('text' =>
'<center><a href="javascript:estimatorpopupWindow(\''. tep_href_link('ship_estimator.php', '', 'SSL') .'\')"><img src="/shop/includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_estimate_shipping.gif" border="0"></a></center>'
);
new infoBox($info_box_contents);
?>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- information_eof //-->

It looks that this piece of code has to added but I don't know where:

<!-- added for pop-up ship estimator //-->
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function estimatorpopupWindow(URL) {window.open(URL,'shippingestimator','toolbar=0,sc rollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resiza ble=1,width=800,height=600')}
</script>
<!-- added for pop-up ship estimator end //-->

Thank you for your help!

First I want to preface this with I am not an expert... but I just added a popup window on my products page to run a swf file and here is what I did.

You need to add the script code to your main_page.tpl.php . This file is located in catalog/templates/(whatever the folder name is for your site template). When you open that file you will see a section that has all the javascript code. Add your script code there in between the <script an /script> from the function....}. Then save and hope it works. It worked for me.

By the way, my site has a shipping estimator built in after items are added to the cart but before checking out. It is not a popup window though. You can see it at Baby Bottle Holder: Bebe Bottle Sling : Unique Baby Feeding Products and Multiples Clothing . Just add something to the cart and you will see the estimate shipping area. You can view the source for the page to get some ideas. I did not write the code for it but I specifically required it for my shopping cart when it was installed.
