Options for the Number Chooser eComponents
Number Chooser options
Use these options to configure the display and behaviour of your Number Chooser eComponent.
See also the "Range, service, plan, gold, area" section for more control over pre-set search parameters.
Target window
When the customer chooses a number, you need to set the next stage of the sales flow. Use this setting to specify how you want the next page or eComponent to appear. Choose from the following options:
- Top: The next page or eComponent will open in the same window..
- New: The next page or eComponent will open in a new window.
- New-force: The next page or eComponent will always open in a new window, even if the user has a popup blocker enabled.
Destination URL
When the customer chooses a number, you need to set the URL of the next content you want the customer to see in the sales flow. Specify this as an absolute URL, eg http://www.mysite.com/trolley/html.
If you want the customer to stay on the current page, use the special value caller.
Width, Height
Specify the size of the Number Chooser, in pixels or as a percentage. We recommend a size of 700px wide x 600px high for a 3 column number chooser with default control options, but you may wish to fine tune this to your own options.
Auto Size: Check this box if you'd like your eComponent to resize dynamically. If you check this box any height specifications will be overruled and the eComponent will resize according to the contents of the eComponent.
Please note that the Auto Size function currently does not work in IE6/7. All other browsers will resize dynamically.
Number of columns
Number Choosers can display 1-10 columns of results. Set how many you want here. NB: If you change your mind about the number of columns you may need to adjust the width of the iframe accordingly.
Number of rows
Set how many rows of numbers are displayed in the Number Chooser.
Sort order
Controls the sorting of the search results - by number or gold value, ascending or descending - or random (which can be nice to get a smattering of different options).
Help Text
Help Text is a short block of text that tells customers how to use the Number Chooser. You can either display this text, or replace it with your own text outside the iframe.
Search area
Decide whether you want to allow the user to set their own search criteria, or just show the choice of numbers based on options you've pre-set.
Auto Search
Whether or not the Number Chooser should start with an initial search based on parameters you pre-set
Page Controls
If you want to allow the user to page through a large set of search results (the page controls appear just below the search results).
