Building and Editing SalesCart PRODUCT PAGES

A SalesCart Product Page displays products, and is where shoppers add items to their carts. The following procedure will edit the existing product page created automatically by SalesCart during the Getting Started section, but it also applies to all SalesCart product pages that you create.

Your first "demo" SalesCart Product Page is already built for you by the SalesCart Web Wizard. To edit the existing "blank" SalesCart Product Page:

Open your Web Design Tool and edit the productpage.asp page.

1. Double click on the filename to edit /mall/productpage.asp.
2. The existing product link information is not a "real" product link just a demo, highlight the entire cell and delete it. Place the cursor where you would like to place the product link.

Note: If you insert the product link inside of a form, SalesCart "may" not work properly. Information passed on to the checkout pages will be associated with a form within a form. This may be useful in advanced cases. You "MUST" delete the entire "pretend" product link including the form on the productpage.asp to prevent this mistake.

3. To add a new Product Link to a Product Page, position your cursor where you want to add the product.

4. From Macromedia go to: SalesCart>>SalesCart Main Menu. The SalesCart Main Menu should appear.

4. Once you click on Add Product Link the following should appear.

These fields define a product. A Product Page is simply any .asp page or any page saved with .asp page and has a least one SalesCart Product Link on the page. SalesCart product pages should be saved with the .asp extension (not .htm), and we recommend that you place them in the mall directory of your SalesCart Web. The only thing that differentiates a normal html page from a SalesCart product page is that it is saved with .asp extension.

Advanced Users: A product page can be stored in a folder other than the /mall folder but all of the relative links of the actual product link must be updated to accommodate that including the Add-to-Cart Button, Quantity Button, the Shop1.asp and any other graphics or includes that are normally linked relative to the /mall folder.

Note: If you do not make use of certain features such as the product expiration or Include features, you can save the Product Page with a .htm extension.
