addtocart button not working

[RHibberd]

Hi

I've got a site at http://domain1804562.sites.fasthosts.com/ which has an add to cart button on the home page as well as the product page.

They are exactly the same but the one on the product page works whereas the one on the home page appears to do absolutely nothing.

Can anyone give me some pointers to why this is happening please?

Regards

Ruth

How did you add the cart button and the products to the homepage?

Products are not available to buy off the homepage directly in a standard Actinic installation without some code hacking.

The home page buttons are not inside a form.

embedding flash

Thanks. I just created a new products layout with the one product on and set the time limit to 3650 days.

Is there a guide anywhere for adding addtocart buttons on the homepage?

On another note, I've tried adding a brief clip of the dvd using flash and I've read the posts on this forum for adding flash but I can't get it to work whatever I do.

It's in a fragment with layout set to text only, it's inside !!< >!! and the swf files are in the additional files for uploading (and they're in the acatalog folder on the server so they're definitely going up.)

I don't have a clue what else to try so if someone's able to point out to me what I've done wrong I'll be eternally grateful. The offending page is at http://domain1804562.sites.fasthosts...deo_Clips.html if you want to see the code.

Many thanks.

Keep it simple, you don't need js scripts etc. Just add this into your fragment:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="140" height="140" >
  <param name="movie" value="http://www.mydomain.co.uk/acatalog/myswf.swf">
  <param name="quality" value="high">
  <embed src="http://www.mydomain.co.uk/acatalog/myswf.swf" width="140" height="140" align="top" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
</object>

You can use 'add to cart anywhere on the internet' for your add to cart links on your hompeage - see the AUG for info on this.
