Hi,

I'm trying to customize my cart further and would like to know which files I need to update to accomplish the following:

1. Lessen the gap between the products table and the dynamic page numbers that appear for allowing a customer to browse multiple pages of products. I recently scaled my thumbnails down to a smaller size so when a category page shows (with products of course) the gap between the multiple product page navigation and the first row of products has increased and created too large of an area of white space. What file and code would I need to scoot the table of products up a bit.

2. Right now, my ajax tool tip shows the thumbnail image of my products. I would like it to show the product detail image instead. (the one that displays on the product detail page). How do I go about pointing my tool tip to the other images. I'm assuming the tooltip graphic will automatically scale larger to display a 200-300 pixel image within it? If not, any advice on this topic would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Doug

Can't help with the first one but the second one. It was in the EI help files.

	Question : In ProductCart v3, how can I load the medium size image instead of the thumbnail image in the AJAX pop-up window that shows product information?

	Answer : You can do this by making a small code change to the file "pc/xml_getPrdInfo.asp". - Download the file to your desktop using an FTP program - Open it in Notepad or your favorite HTML editor - Change the following line: pSmimageURL=rs("smallImageUrl") ... to ... pSmimageURL=rs("imageurl") - Save the file and upload it back to your server.

Katharina - thank you for your response. Also, in case I wasn't clear on the first question, I took a screenshot of my store and placed green lettering where I want to get rid of some white space. I'm attaching for anyone that might know the answer to this. Thank you again for helping with the tooltip, Katharina.

Hi Doug,
To change the spacing amend pcstorefront.css
In .pcShowProducts amend margin-top from 10px to, say, -50px
And, further down in pcShowProductsH amend height to, say, 125px
