Shopping Cart -- Cart Summery Items Label

[Simon Williams]

Hi,

I want to change the name of the text 'Items:' to another value.

I've changes the 'Cart Summery Item Label' (<actinic:variable name="CookieCartItemsLabel" />) in the 'Design Text' to my new value, but this hasn't changed the text on the site.

Does anyone know where I may be going wrong?

Thanks guys
Si

Either you are not changing it correctly or you have amended the shopping cart summary layout as that is what you need to change and where you change it. Check the layout is using those variables.

Go to Design | Text. Click on goto and enter Phase -1 and ID 2213. Change the text in there and you should be good to go!

Thanks guys, but thats exactly where I'm changing the text.

Current Value:
ID: 2213

It shows as being changes when I close and go back to the Shopping Card/Receipt options, but does not change on the site.

Any other ideas chaps?

When you click on the cart text in the design tab what layout is showing up?

This should work, unless you are including the cart using an external javascript?

Dave,

It still shows the same "Items:, Value:" and does not change -- also ftp'ing does not make the change.

Would it matter that the [ShoppingCartSummary] was inserted using Dreamweaver (Actinic | Insert Actinic Content)?

I wouldn't have thought so -- but one never knows!

Wouldn't have thought so, if you are using the variable <actinic:variable name="CookieCartItemsLabel" /> then that's the ID Actinic should be taking it from. Post the code from the design view and we can see if there is anything obviously wrong.

Simon,

No, we will need the full code from the whichever cart summary layout you are using, will look something like this:-

<actinic:variable name="CookieCartItemsLabel" />
   <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
	   <!--
	   document.write(getCartItem(3));
	   // -->
   </script>,
<actinic:variable name="CookieCartValueLabel" />
   <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
	   <!--
	   document.write(getCartItem(1));
	   // -->
   </script>

   </script>

Ok Dave, see below for my code...

<span class="actxxsmall" style="color: <actinic:variable name='BGColor' />;">
         <actinic:variable name="CookieCartItemsLabel" />
         <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
	         <!--
      	   document.write(getCartItem(3));
	         // -->
         </script>
         <br />
         <actinic:variable name="CookieCartValueLabel" />
         <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
	         <!--
	         document.write(getCartItem(1));
	         // -->
         </script>
         </span>

Simon.

Looks ok to me. You did click on apply before clicking ok when you changed the text? If so, no other suggestions sorry, what we have said should work.

Yep ... have changed it, and changed it back - restored defaults etc ...

I'll contact Actinic in the morning ... Thanks for your help anyway falla

[dave_finlayson]

No probs, would be interesting to know the solution, if you get one!

[leehack]

You must be changing the label in the wrong area, needs to be the bottom field. If that's what you are doing, then i'm stumped, i do this change regularly and changing it in design text immediately changes it. In fact i will often click 'apply' and watch the change occur on the preview before i close the window.

Very strange, do let us know if you solve it, can you get a screenshot?

[Simon Williams]

I have started Actinic this morning, and the label has changed !!!! CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

I guess restarting Actinic was the resolution for me!

Thanks for your help chaps ....
