Including Products (with add to cart button) on Brochure Pages


PREREQUISITES

This works for products that use Quantity on Product Page (without single add to cart).
We hijack the Extended Info to produce the Brochure product so you can't 
use the extended info popup on this product.
No existing templates are changes and all other pages work as usual.
If using Business, logged in customers won't see their schedule price.  The product will
be added at the correct price.


HOW IT WORKS

You generate a Product "popup page" using an alternative template that has an
Add to Cart button.  By unchecking all the Display By: links the page will be generated but 
won't have any links associated with the product.
Special brochure fragments use a NETQUOTEVAR:INCLUDE to display the "pop up" file generated above.


SETUP

Save the following in Site1 as BrochureProduct1Fragment.html


<!-- BrochureProduct1Fragment HTML begin -->
<!-- duplicate the INCLUDE for the number of products you need -->
<br>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="1">
  <tr>
    <td width="100%">
    <h3>NETQUOTEVAR:BROCHURE_TITLE</h3>
    NETQUOTEVAR:INCLUDE siteHTML\brochureproduct1.html
    NETQUOTEVAR:BROCHURE_TEXT
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
<!-- BrochureProduct1Fragment HTML end -->



If you want more than 1 product, duplicate the above to file name BrochureProduct2Fragment.html 
(replacing brochureproduct1.html with brochureproduct2.html and so on)
If you don't want the Fragment Title to show remove the line "<h3>NETQUOTEVAR:BROCHURE_TITLE</h3>".



Save the following in Site1 as BrochureProductTemplate.html


<!-- BrochureProductTemplate HTML begin -->
<!-- NETQUOTEVAR:PAGETITLE NETQUOTEVAR:PAGEHEADER NETQUOTEVAR:BASEHREF NETQUOTEVAR:BGIMAGE NETQUOTEVAR:BGCOLOR
     NETQUOTEVAR:FGCOLOR NETQUOTEVAR:LINKCOLOR NETQUOTEVAR:VLINKCOLOR NETQUOTEVAR:ALINKCOLOR -->
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMBEGIN
<TABLE BORDER=0 cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">

    <TD rowspan="3" align="center" valign="top">

      <span class="actxsmall">NETQUOTEVAR:DATEPROMPT </span>

   </TD>
  </TR>

</TABLE>
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMEND
<!-- BrochureProductTemplate HTML end -->



OPERATION

In the Brochure where you want the 1st product to appear create a fragment 
using BrochureProduct1Fragment.html as the template.  
Fill in the Title and Text (use a single space if you want no text).

Go to the product you want to appear and do the following (click Advanced if you see it):-

Select the Extended Information tab.
Check Generate Popup Page
Clear the 3 fields in Display By:
In Page Name enter brochureproduct1.html (use brochureproduct2.html for second product, etc)
In Layout enter BrochureProductTemplate.html
You can leave Text and Image blank as this info is carried over from the main product.

Update the site and see if it worked.


CUSTOMISATION:

BrochureProductTemplate.html and BrochureProduct1Fragment.htmlcan be altered to give a different 
style to these products.

Also if you want a different image or text on the Brochure pages to the normal product, 
i.e. the Brochure image or text:-
then comment out NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTIMAGE 
  and remove the comments from
  <!-- <IMG SRC="NETQUOTEVAR:INFOIMAGE" WIDTH=NETQUOTEVAR:INFOIMAGEWIDTH HEIGHT=NETQUOTEVAR:INFOIMAGEHEIGHT> -->

likewise comment out NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTDESCRIPTION 
  and remove the comments from<!-- NETQUOTEVAR:INFOTEXT -->


NOTES

Still to be done:   
Having a Checkout and View Basket link on the Brochure pages (or just the Product fragments)
might be a good idea.
Alternatively rename the "Products" link on the Brochure to be "Products and Checkout".
