Thread: Hyperlink for product image

Is there anyway to attach a hyperlink to an image. I am putting up some training videos and I would like for the product image to link to the "swf" file I have stored. I have a hyperlink that works fine in the product description, but it would make more sense if the customer would just be able to click on the image and the training video would start. Thanks for any help

Hi

I think what you need can be done using something like this in your XML template code:

Code:

<a>
   <xsl:attribute name="href">
      <xsl:value-of select="LINK TO YOUR SWF FILE"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
    <img>
       <xsl:attribute name="src">
          <xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:LookupImage(ProductID, 'product', 'medium', 1)"/>
       </xsl:attribute>
     </img>
</a>

You can of course use a variable in the 'LINK TO SWF FILE' section so that your SWF file link is specific to the product id being viewed.

I cannot find the template which you refer. Would you please give me the exact name? I thought this would be a bit easier???

Product pages are generated by XML packages, which are in the XmlPackages folder. The one you're using can be found by looking at the 'Display Format XML Package' attribute in Product Manager (in the admin site). Open up that package, find where we add the image to the page, and add in your extra code.

Ha ... I am a fool... just got it.

<a href="{aspdnsf:ProductandEntityLink(ProductID, SEName, $EntityID, $EntityName, 0)}">image here</a>
