[ic] Image detail page

[Ian C. Melville]

Michael,

That was so simple it made me laugh out loud ;-) I tried a few things
unsuccessfully and then thought along the lines you pointed me but
didn't actually try it until your note and its just right. Thanks!

I even tried going for broke and chucked it into the page title but I
guess I was finally out of wishes... If you have a suggestion for code
to place the same text into page title I'll be grateful for it otherwise
I'll just stick to my boilerplate 'View Product Detail' text.

Many thanks,

Just change the "field=image_large" to "field=description"

Call your page like this:

[area href=prodview arg='[item-code]']

And then on your prodview page use this code to return the image name:

[tmp code][data session arg][/tmp]

<img src="[data table=products field=image_large key='[scratch code]']">

The reason your other code was not working was because prodview is not a
"flypage" like your other page so it does not know what "[item-field]"
is.  So we pass the [item-code] as an argument and than use the data tag
to look up the image_large value for that item.

Good luck,
-Ron
