This tutorial is for anyone using multple stores in RTD.
There is a text in
SYSTEM OPTIONS => Configure Help Labels that can be shown right into the designer, to provide your users a quick help about how to use the tool.
That text is the
Short Designer Instructions one.
The issue we're going to explore: that text is unique, so the very same text will appear in all of your stores. But it may happen you'd like to have different instructions for different stores. How to obtain it?
Short answer: with a javascript tweak!
That text is shown into a DIV with id
instructions_container. What we're going to do is to "rewrite" its contents by using stores fields.
Go in
SYSTEM OPTIONS => Configure Store layouts and select as Store to be edited the one you want to alter that text for.
We need to be sure our code will be parsed when the
instructions_container element is already available, so we will work into the
FOOTER CODE FOR DESIGNER area. In there, place something like this:
<div id='my_instructions_replace' style='display:none'>
this is a replacement text!<br>
And it accepts <u>HTML TOO!</u>
</div>
<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>
document.getElementById('instructions_container').innerHTML=document.getElementById('my_instructions_replace').innerHTML;
</script>
This will simply replace the contents of the
instructions_container block with whatever code you'll write into the textarea block. And being placed into the
FOOTER CODE FOR DESIGNER area, it can be different for each store.
Easy easy!
