    Default more information page

    In section 5 of the manual it states that I can link to a "more information" page with details about the product, on my site.

    My guess is to either create a hidden page and link to it in the product description or

    create an article that has the info. I like the article idea but I only want the info available on a specific product page.

    For example: I want to add a note specifically for Vista 64bit users to read for one of my software products. I want the viewer to be able to click on the "more information" link and an article/txt/pdf will open.

    Is that possible, and if so, how?

    Thank you

    Simple HTML link works fine. Use the "Source" button or use the WYSIWYG to insert a link....

    HTML Code:
    <a href="faq.html">FAQ</a>
    or
    HTML Code:
    <a href="prodlist.pdf#page=3">
    to open up on page 3... etc....

    Default Re: more information page

    This is basic HTML....

    IE: Normal link:
    HTML Code:
     <a href="http://sitename.com">Link text here</a>
    The HTML to open a new window:
    HTML Code:
     <a href="http://sitename.com" target="_blank">Link text here</a>
    There are a number of options you can put in the TARGET parameter of the anchor tag. They are as follows:

    * _blank – Opens a new window when the link is clicked on.
    * _parent – Will open a link in the original window that called the present window (using _blank)
    * _self – Default behaviour of clicking on a link. It opens the link in the current window.
    * _top – Allows you to break out of a frame


    Good Luck!

    Default Re: more information page

    Thank you again - it is exactly what I needed and works like a charm!

    Let me say that it has taken me a week in OSCMax to do what it took me a month to do in Zen Cart.

    Great software!
