I have a field that looks like


SKU: www.cool.com

the code that spits that out is

<tr>
  <td><b>SKU:</b></td>
  <td><?php echo $product_info['sku']; ?></td>
</tr>

the www.cool.com is what I entered in for sku: but what comes out on the page is not a clickable link. What I would like to have is where i enter in what ever website I want for sku, then have the output on the webpage look like

SKU: Click Here

and when they click on "click here" it will take them to www.cool.com


i have tried several things, just not getting it to work, and help will be appreciated.

OK

<td><a href="<?php echo $product_info['sku'];">Click Me</a></td>

I'd suggest some HTML 101 tutorials

That was the first thing that I tried, when I do that I get an error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /home/content/49/6422449/html/catalog/view/theme/bears/template/product/product.tpl on line 39

Here is the full page code in case it helps.

What ardav suggest is correct bu missed a ? symbol

<td><a href="<?php echo $product_info['sku'];" ?>Click Me</a></td>

I still get the same error, it says "syntax error, unexpected '?'" in the next line... I didnt need the next line, so i removed it, and then it says I have an error in the next line again.

Somehow the

<td><a href="<?php echo $product_info['sku'];" ?>Click Me</a></td>

is causing an error in whatever line is next, because those errors were not there until that code is introduced.

Member Avatar for rajarajan2017

I am so sorry about that

<td><a href="<?php echo $product_info['sku'];?>">Click Me</a></td>

That one does not produce any errors... but the optput is blank. It now appears on the page as

SKU:


I think I am a lot closer here... do I need to add something to define the text appearance?

Member Avatar for rajarajan2017

"Click Me" is the text to be displayed

yes, but it is not displaying.

it should look like

SKU: Click Me

but it comes out as

SKU:

Member Avatar for rajarajan2017

Just copy and post the line of your code here:

<td><a href="<?php echo $product_info['sku'];?>">Click Me</a></td>

Are you confirm that $product_info receveing the value by printing before that statement. and check you get it or not.

I am sorry if I am not explaining myself correctly, I do not know a lot about php. I will try again.

The code:

<tr>
  <td><b>SKU:</b></td>
  <td><?php echo $product_info['sku']; ?></td>
</tr>

Puts out:

SKU: "whatever I enter in the SKU field"

I want it to put out:

SKU: "Click Me" and whenever they click on "Click Me" it takes them to whatever website that I enter in under the SKU field.

You can see an example of what I mean here:
http://www.johnsoncityfood.com/Osaka

The area that I am referring to is in the top right corner to the right of the picture

Thank you so much for your help, I know this is frustrating.

Member Avatar for rajarajan2017

post the tr with td that you have in your code

I did...

<tr>
  <td><b>SKU:</b></td>
  <td><?php echo $product_info['sku']; ?></td>
</tr>

Puts out:
SKU: www.test.com

the code you gave me:

<tr>
  <td><b>SKU:</b></td>
  <td><a href="<?php echo $product_info['sku'];?>">Click Me</a></td>
</tr>

Puts out:
SKU:

it is empty after SKU

Member Avatar for rajarajan2017
<td><a href=\"<?php echo $product_info['sku'];?>\">Click Me</a></td>
<td><a href=\"<?php echo $product_info['sku'];?>\">Click Me</a></td>

What ended up working for me was

<a href='http://<?php echo $product_info['sku']; ?>' target='_blank' >Click Me</a>

You led me on the right path, thank you so very much!
