shopping cart?

Re: shopping cart?

Drop down box in CM? If you need help - and wait till tomorrow - I'll work on it with you - it's really quite simple after you get the hang of it - but I remember my first time :) - I was cross-eyed, too.

Re: shopping cart?

Beth, I'm going to get confused on here now with 2 of us Beth's - it's such a good name.

You can get the numbers for the colors you use in BV from the color box - but to get the codes, you need to take those numbers to a converter - I use this one: http://www.trainingtools.com/Resources/Color_Chart/

I'll have some time tomorrow afternoon - email me (beth @ moxie-enter-prises.com) and if you have MSN or Yahoo IM - send me your name and I'll add you and we can do it there. If not, we'll figure it out! But that's the easiest way.

Re: shopping cart?

Wooooooooohooooooooooooo - great job!

But - you can't read the blue on the top one with the burgundy background - might need white text there - or a different background.

Now, another suggestion - all those links to see the individual pictures - you want those to open in a new window. Unlike links to pages - those are to product pictures and you want them to be able to stay on the order page and look at the product pic at the same time.

(Don't you hate that I'm giving you more work.)

And, yes, one of the things I love about CM - you can test all those links even without publishing the page - if you take the page to preview - those links will work if done correctly - so you can test each before you publish!

Re: shopping cart?

Beth.......thanks for sticking with me and getting me through this fun but hair pulling out experience....


are you thinking that the large individual pictures are set up wrong or that there might be something better to do with them?
That is what I was thinking but once again I'm not sure how to execute it. So are you sayignt that I should put an add to cart on this individual pages too>>>???

thanks

Re: shopping cart?

Beth,
The pictures are fine - don't need separate add to carts on them IF you have them open as pop-ups - since all the purpose of them is to see the picture in a larger size.

What I'm suggesting is they open like my placemats do: http://www.achildspalace.com/kidsplacemats.html

Click on any of those pictures - the picture pops up in the larger size - instead of replacing the window you're in - so you keep the window to order and just look at the larger pic.

Re: shopping cart?

Oh ok I see ............soo the question is, how do I do that???/

Re: shopping cart?

On the pictures - did you put them in using the gallery feature? If so - go into the properties, find where it says target - and select popup.

If you used the image feature - go into properties, find target and select blank. The only problem with blank is it opens an entire full size page - pop up on the gallery feature will open a window the size of the larger pic.

Re: shopping cart?

Hey Beth,

I did redo on my baby boy page all the pics. I made gallery images for them and then did the pop up feature. And once again you are right it looks much better. (www.makingreatstuff.com/baby_boy.html). So I will work with the other 50 pics (yikes) and clean them up. I do need to tell you that your buttons on your site are adorable. The little flower is so cute. Are those type buttons on blue voda in some hidden compartment? haha. I keep finding hidden places to do things and make changes. Do I need to cancel or delete the pages that I don't need anymore? What are the benefits of leaving them or not...........thanks so much, I owe you.................

Re: shopping cart?

First, aren't you just publishing the page right over the other with the same name? If so, you don't have any pages to delete. If you have them named differently - then at some point you will want to go in and delete out all the pages you aren't using - especially if you published them (you'll have to delete them out of your control panel then.)

Those little flower buttons are my own. You can make your own also - then you'd have to change the code in the html. I, now, when I start anything with them, make a button and name it something (even a generic one) so that I put it on all my add to carts. Then I can just change out the button any time buy giving a new one that name and replacing it :)

I like them using the pop up feature!

Re: shopping cart?

Yes I am republishing the pages/ but I have all the larger view pics on their own separate page that I made links to and since i'm doing the pics different then I shouldn't need the separate large image pics right?

Re: shopping cart?

Yes, you can delete out their own pages. Sorry, I misunderstood that before :)

Re: shopping cart?

Hey there. Boy you were right. A lot of work is putting mildly. I still have my big sports page and one other page to do. But I do thank you becuase they do look better.
thanks again
