Create custom pop-ups using Quickview using-quickviews-to-create-custom-pop-ups
The default Quickview is used in ecommerce experiences whereby a pop-up is displayed with product information to drive a purchase. However, you can trigger custom content to display in the pop-ups. Depending on the viewer that you use, customers can select a hotspot, a thumbnail image, or an image map to see information or related content.
Quickview is supported by the following viewers in Dynamic Media:
- Interactive Images (selectable hotspots)
- Interactive Video (selectable thumbnail images during video playback)
- Carousel Banners (selectable hotspots or image maps)
While the functionality of each viewer differs, the process of creating a Quickview is the same across all three supported viewers.
To create custom pop-ups using Quickview:
-
Create a Quickview for an uploaded asset.
You typically create a Quickview the same time that you edit an asset for use with the viewer you are using.

The viewer you use has to know how to use the Quickview.
The viewer uses a handler called
QuickViewActive
.Example
Suppose you were using the following sample embed code on your web page for an interactive image:The handler is loaded into the viewer using
setHandlers
:*viewerInstance*.setHandlers({ *handler 1*, *handler 2*}, ...
Using the sample embed code example from above, you have the following code:
code language-xml s7interactiveimageviewer.setHandlers({ quickViewActivate": function(inData) { var sku=inData.sku; var genericVariable1=inData.genericVariable1; var genericVariable2=inData.genericVariable2; loadQuickView(sku,genericVariable1,genericVariable2); } })

setHandlers()
method at the following:- Interactive Image viewer - sethandlers
- Interactive Video viewer - sethandlers
-
Now configure the
quickViewActivate
handler.The
quickViewActivate
handler controls the Quickview in the viewer. The handler contains the variable list and function calls for use with the Quickview. The embed code provides mapping for the SKU variable set in the Quickview. It also makes a sampleloadQuickView
function call.Variable mapping
Map variables for use in your web page to the SKU value and generic variables contained in the Quickview:var *variable1*= inData.*quickviewVariable*
The provided embed code has a sample mapping for the SKU variable:
var sku=inData.sku
Map other variables from the Quickview too, as in the following:
code language-xml var <i>variable2</i>= inData.<i>quickviewVariable2</i> var <i>variable3</i>= inData.<i>quickviewVariable3</i>
Function call
The handler also requires a function call for the Quickview to work. The function is assumed to be accessible by your host page. The embed code provides a sample function call:loadQuickView(sku)
The sample function call assumes the function
loadQuickView()
exists and is accessible.Learn more about
quickViewActivate
method at the following:- Interactive Image viewer – Event callbacks
- Interactive Video viewer – Event callbacks
- Interactive data support in Interactive Video viewer – Interactive data support
-
Do the following:
-
Uncomment the setHandlers section of the embed code.
-
Map any additional variables contained in the Quickview.
- Update the
loadQuickView(sku,*var1*,*var2*)
call if you add more variables.
- Update the
-
Create a simple
loadQuickView
() function on page, outside of the viewer.For example, the following writes the value of SKU to the browser console:
code language-xml function loadQuickView(sku){ console.log ("quickview sku value is " + sku); }
-
Upload a test HTML page to a webserver and open.
The variables from the Quickview are mapped. The function call is in place. And the browser console writes the variable value to the browser console. It does this using the sample function provided.
-
-
You can now use a function to invoke a simple pop-up in the Quickview. The following example uses a
DIV
for a pop-up. -
Style the pop-up
DIV
in the following manner. Add extra styling as desired.code language-xml <style type="text/css"> #quickview_div{ position: absolute; z-index: 99999999; display: none; } </style>
-
Place the pop-up
DIV
in the body of your HTML page.One of the elements is set with an ID that is updated with SKU value when the user invokes a Quickview. The example also includes a simple button to hide the pop-up again after it becomes visible.
code language-xml <div id="quickview_div" > <table> <tr><td><input id="btnClosePopup" type="button" value="Close" onclick='document.getElementById("quickview_div").style.display="none"' /><br /></td></tr> <tr><td>SKU</td><td><input type="text" id="txtSku" name="txtSku"></td></tr> </table> </div>
-
To update the SKU value in the pop-up window, add a function. Make the pop-up window visible by replacing the simple function created in step 5 with the following:
code language-xml <script type="text/javascript"> function loadQuickView(sku){ document.getElementById("txtSku").setAttribute("value",sku); // write sku value document.getElementById("quickview_div").style.display="block"; // show pop-up } </script>
-
Upload a test HTML page to your webserver and open. The viewer displays the pop-up
DIV
when a user invokes a Quickview. -
How to display the custom pop-up window in full screen mode
Some viewers, such as the Interactive Video viewer, support display in fullscreen mode. However, using the pop-up as described in the previous steps causes it to display behind the viewer while in full screen mode.
To have the pop-up window display in standard and full screen modes, attach the pop-up window to the viewer container. In this case, use a second handler method,
initComplete
.The
initComplete
handler is invoked after the viewer is initialized.code language-xml "initComplete":function() { code block }
Learn more about
init()
method at the following: -
To attach the pop-up–described in the previous steps–to the viewer, use the following code:
code language-xml "initComplete":function() { var popup = document.getElementById('quickview_div'); popup.parentNode.removeChild(popup); var sdkContainerId = s7interactivevideoviewer.getComponent("container").getInnerContainerId(); var inner_container = document.getElementById(sdkContainerId); inner_container.appendChild(popup); }
In the code above, you have done the following:
- Identified your custom pop-up window.
- Removed it from the DOM.
- Identified the viewer container.
- Attached the pop-up to the viewer container.
-
Your entire setHandlers code is similar to the following (Interactive Video viewer was used):
code language-xml s7interactivevideoviewer.setHandlers({ "quickViewActivate": function(inData) { var sku=inData.sku; loadQuickView(sku); }, "initComplete":function() { var popup = document.getElementById('quickview_div'); // get custom quick view container popup.parentNode.removeChild(popup); // remove it from current DOM var sdkContainerId = s7interactivevideoviewer.getComponent("container").getInnerContainerId(); var inner_container = document.getElementById(sdkContainerId); inner_container.appendChild(popup); } });
-
After the handlers are loaded, you initialize the viewer:
*viewerInstance.*init()
Example
This example uses the Interactive image viewer.s7interactiveimageviewer.init()
After you embed the viewer into your host page, be sure that the viewer instance is created. Also, ensure that the handlers are loaded before the viewer is invoked using
init()
.
