OpenCart Community

This script will make it so that the information links in the footer popup in a fancybox (1.5.1) or colorbox (1.5.2) overlay.
It uses an ajax code check to hide the header/footer/sides if the page opens as a fancybox, while still allowing the pages to load normally when opened directly. Very small vQmod changes.

cool .. i like it.
Thanks..

Nice one Q!!!

Small update. Added "rel" tag. Now you can use the Next/Prev arrows to scroll through all information pages easily

Thanks Qphoria! very good work!

cool .. i like it. Thanks..

Great mod! It looks awesome in 1.5.1.3

Does it need to be modified to work with 1.5.2.1 ?

Thanks!

Added colorbox version for v1.5.2

Thank you!!

Minor quirk. If the store is setup using www in admin, your mod does not work when just using http://store.com and viseversa. The funny thing is in the admin Opencart gives the example using www on the second store of a multi store setup. We are using version 1.5.2.1

I'm not sure I can do anything about that due to Same Origin Policy limitations for ajax

The web treats "www.domain.com" and "domain.com" as 2 different origins.

Hi Q, found a fix. It's opencart's .htaccess that's the problem. Not sure why it's not fixed because it's so simple? just placed this in our .htaccess and fixed it.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

One other problem that was solved (which has nothing to do with this mod) is that when an Opencart site is accessed without using the www the add to cart buttons on the home page will not work. The .htaccess re-write fixed that problem.

updated to fix a problem with them not showing when on an https page.

Qphoria,

This works great - many thanks. A quick question: given that it opens up a full page in pop-up necessitating scrolling, is there a way to add a different URL to T&Cs etc so that a specially designed text page (without header etc) can be opened? Similar to one of those 'print this page' set-ups while leaving the main T&Cs page intact?

wondering if anyone can help me out. I know this mod alone works with no errors and works great, but I've got some other mod that is preventing this from working and I can't figure out which one.

This is the error I'm getting:

I would give out a site link but I have to disable this mod because it doesn't allow the rest of the site to function properly.

Help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks
