new page

[Luke_Urtnowski]

Im trying to emulate this function (clicking the "Read more" link to open up a given recipe)

http://www.totallyswedish.com/en/recipes

So I created http://www.swedishsweetsandimports.com/content/6-recipes

and need help to figure out how to open up the other page, while keeping everything surrounding the editable area.

You can use fancybox for this.

 

I've not tested it, but you can try adding the class 'fancybox' to the link from the back office using the visual editor.

 

If it doesn't work, as fancybox might not be embedded in the page. you'll need to add custom javascript to cms.tpl, or create a small module to manage it. In any case, you'll have to make sure you embed jquery.fancybox in the page.

 

This is Prestashop's way, of course you can use other lightbox tools, but either choice will imply you know javascript

Dang!  added that class to the link and a 404 page still shows up.  Im not to bad with javascript, so where do I even find the cms.tpl file and what javascripts do I use (is there an example or something)

[Luke_Urtnowski]

oh duh! the .tpl file is in my themes folder

 

did a google search of fancybox and I think I didn't explain myself again,

 

What im trying to copy is at http://www.totallyswedish.com/en/recipes.  If the read more link is clicked, this page opens up http://www.totallyswedish.com/en/recepies/rye-tea-cakes

 

 

 

I used the CMS thing to create http://www.swedishsweetsandimports.com/content/6-recipes, but how do I create the page where the users can find the whole recipe?

You could just create another CMS page (e.g. called Dajmtarta) with the full recipe on it, and edit the link for 'Read more' to point to it.

Why didn't I think of that

 

Thanks...
