[-- PRODUCT.MoreInformationGraphic REMOVE_HTML--]

[Chris]

Hi all

Quick question: when we upgraded a while back from shopsite 7.1 Pro to
shopsite 8.0 Pro, everything in our store templates worked perfectly except
for one thing: the more information graphic tag ([--
PRODUCT.MoreInformationGraphic --]) had a different definition than before.
Originally that tag just brought over the path and filename for the more
info page image, for use in an HTML image tag. Now it brings over the
entire HTML tag, including shopsite assigned attributes including alt, size,
etc.

We noticed this when we saw that some newly uploaded graphics (we FTP them
into the store/media directories..) were skewed and improperly sized,
further when mousing over the graphics we didn't get the nice "product name"
tag which we used to put into the alt tag, but rather we got a cryptic
filename (000123.jpg.)

Per the 8.0 Pro instructions:

[-- PRODUCT.MoreInformationGraphic --]
Returns a full <img src> tag for the graphic for the product More
Information Page, with all the formatting information, including size and
alt values. Use the REMOVE_HTML attribute if you want to customize the <img>
tag, as described for the PAGE.GRAPHIC tag.

However, I tried using [-- PRODUCT.MoreInformationGraphic REMOVE_HTML --]
to strip out the html crud I don't want, to no avail: It appears to yield
the identical results as [-- PRODUCT.MoreInformationGraphic --].

Is anyone else running into this problem?

Thanks,
Chris

When images are uploaded through the ShopSite interface a file called
..inf.<imagename> is created in the directory where the image is placed.
That file contains the full html, url and all the attributes to
display the image on a page. (What you see when you go to Images > Edit
Image Attributes) If you ftp images to the server these files are not
created so the html to display the image is missing. You can create
these files by going to Images > select image > Reset image attributes
(or Reset All attributes). I think that you will then see what you are
expecting.

Hi Jim

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I figured out the reset all image attributes
function.. that was the solution to my original wrong sizing problem.

However, I would much rather get just the image filename and build all of
the HTML tags myself through the template.

Shouldn't REMOVE_HTML give me what I want? or am I mis-reading the help
file?

Thanks,
Chris

I believe you are misreading the help file. On a tag for any graphic,
REMOVE_HTML just removes the '<img' and '>' so that you can use the
image src and its other attributes in some other HTML tag like a
background image or submit button. Note that the documentation for the
PRODUCT.MoreInformationGraphic tag refers to the documentation for the
PAGE.Graphic tag for more info on this remove_html option. PAGE.Graphic
is doc'd here:

http://www.shopsite.com/help/8.1/en-US/ ... -page.html
========================================================================
[-- PAGE.Graphic --]
Returns a full <img src> tag with all the formatting information,
including size and alt values. For example:

[-- PAGE.Graphic --]

returns a tag in this format:

<img src="http://www.store.com/media/graphic.gif" width=50 height=40
alt="Example" hspace=3 vspace=3 border=0>

Use the REMOVE_HTML attribute to return a partial tag that you can
customize:

[-- PAGE.Graphic REMOVE_HTML --]

does not return the beginning and end of the <img> tag:

src="http://www.store.com/media/graphic.gif" width=50 height=40
alt="Example" hspace=3 vspace=3 border=0
========================================================================

If you want just the image filename itself and and you have ShopSite
v8.0 or newer, try [-- IMAGE PRODUCT.MoreInformationGraphic --]. This
tag is not listed specifically in the documentation, though, so I'm not
sure if it will work, but certain other page and product images have the
option specifically listed to use them in an [-- IMAGE --] tag to get
just the image filename.

Hey Loren

Thanks for the terrific lead. Worked like a charm!

To shopsite: please add this ( [-- IMAGE
PRODUCT.MoreInformationGraphic --] ) reference into the product docs for
future newbies.

Cool new interface for the forum, and thanks to the shopsite gurus for keeping us all up and running.
