On my products page I have a number of thumbnails. Clicking on one of the thumbnails opens and enlargement on the right side of the page. How do I link the “Markup Item” which (contains the code for my PayPal “Add to Cart” button) to the enlargement image.
Your comments and advice would be greatly appreciated.

How are you creating this enlarged image?
Are you using ‘Pic in new window’?
If you use ‘Link to new window’ then you create a separate page that contains your larger image and the PayPal button - depending on how many products you have this might be one way of approaching it.

No, I’m not linking to a new window. I’m wanting to link the PayPal button to an image in the same window.

You misunderstand
If you use the Link to new window action (on the thumbnail) with the larger image in the new window (which is in effect another web page) you can have the PayPal button in there as well.

Thanks David,
That’s not really what I want. I want to link to the enlargement on the same page.

Maybe I am being dense here.
Do you want the PayPal button in/on the enlarged image.
How are you getting this enlarged image just now.

Here is an example of one of my collection pages:
http://www.asis.com/users/jer/hindu%20page%20op%20copy.jpg
It is set up just like the gallery page in the Freeway tutorial. I want the PayPal “add to Cart” button to be part of the enlargement image. What you see is my first choice which is to have a quantity box and an “Add to Cart” button for each enlargement image so my customer does’nt have to go back and forth to the shopping cart to select the quanity they want of each card. I’m finding this hard to make happen with PayPal. Maybe this could be down using Mal’s but it seems more complicated. So I’m willing to accept a PayPal “add to Cart” and “View Cart” buttons tied to each enlargement image for now. I love Freeway so far. I just need to get over this shopping cart hump and my site will be ready to publish.
Whatever help I can get with this would be greatly appreciated.

OK
The Gallery Tut uses Rollovers and ‘Target Image’ to show the bigger images.
Instead of Target Image use ‘Target Show/Hide Layer’
This is done by creating an HTML box with the Css button on so that it becomes a layered item.
Insert into that HTML box a graphic box that you then import your larger image into. Also into this HTML box you insert your PayPal Add to Cart Button.
Apply the ‘Target Show/Hide Layer’ action to this HTML box and then set the parameters in the same way that you did with Target Image.
What you will end up with is several layers of HTML boxes on top of each other which each contain your bigger images in graphic boxes and the Add to Cart stuff. (Whether as Markup or otherwise)

Sounds good. I’m curious. What would happen if I Grouped the enlargement image and the PayPal button together i.e. place the Markup box with PayPal button code within on top of the enlargement image>hold down the shiftkey>select the markup box and the enlargement image>item>Group? Do this for each my enlargements and then set up the rollover and target image acton.
Thanks David

That’s an excellent idea. Then, after the group has been made, select
the group and apply Target Show/Hide Layer to the group. This will
reduce the complexity of your layout a little bit, from your
perspective, without changing anything on the page in terms of
utility. The one down-side to this construction is that if you need
to un-group these items later, you will lose the Target action and
all its settings.

Thanks Walter,
With my very novice skills, I keep plodding along. I am starting to get the hang of it. Freeway is quite wonderful.
Could you tell me how to make a custom PayPal button with Freeway?

Well, anything you can draw, either in Freeway or Photoshop, can become a PayPal button with the addition of Tim Plumb’s PayPal Action. (http://freewayactions.com) Otherwise, you can simply copy the code from PayPal into a Markup Item, but that’s hardly user-friendly.

None of the actions that I download from Tim Plumbs Actions will open. I’m on a Mac running OSX 10.5.5. When I click on the Icon in the download window nothing happens. The file is: PayPal Buy Button action.sit

Hi Jerry,
Use a tool like Stuffit Expander or The Unarchiver (from
The Unarchiver | Top Free Unarchiving Software for macOS) to decompress the sit file for you
and extract the action.
Regards,
Tim.

Something is not right. I have a brand new Imac running
OSX 10.5.5. In my Applications I have Stuffit 12. When I open it and click on “expand” it takes me to the download folder with the PayPal.sit file, but nothing happens when I click on it and the Expander closes.

Check your preferences for the default path of the expanded file - it may have been done but not been put where you expected it.
