Difficult to describe...! Help required!

[david1978]

In line with our customers needs we're amending our website to reflect a singular purchase system (but with seperate price breaks) - take a look here to see what i mean

http://shop.acesupplies.co.uk/acatal...ings_20mm.html

The problem is, i'm trying not to make each listing to complicated and difficult to read, but having experiemented with this page, it seems it will complicate at our customer's end. The cart, checkout and receipt areas will show only "1-99 units" as product description etc - our product description actually comes from the section above.

I need a way to include the next subsection up in the cart, checkout and receipt areas. Can anyone help?

I'm not sure if i've made much sense here, since i'm completely confused by it all now!

Yes you have me confused as well. You can get my contact details from our website HERE if you want to call and discuss as it may be easier to understand.


Sounds like you need a V7 upgrade.

Perhaps...

You could have the item name set as 900-1000 or whatever, and then you would know what the item quantity wanted was and actinic would not have the limits of a max of 99 items.

Is there no way of lifting the HTML code from the name of the product and placing it in in the reciept, cart etc?

WHy don't you re-arrange the template so that the full description is what inserts '1-99 units' or whatever, and then comment out the product name like this:

<b>NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTDESCRIPTION</b><!-- NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTNAME -->

Then you can have the product name as whatever you want, and that is what will appear in the shopping cart/receipt.

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. I'm having little response from our webdesigners, and I need to get this work done asap!

Is there any way of telling which templates I need to change? Is this going to pick up both items i need - that is the lowest subsection (1-99) and the actualy product?

This is the text for the cart - I assume i need to insert HTML here?

<!-- ShoppingCart HTML begin -->
<!-- Add your Shopping Cart header html here -->

<DIV ALIGN="CENTER">
<TABLE BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=10 WIDTH="600">
<TR><TD>

NETQUOTEVAR:REFPAGE

NETQUOTEVAR:PAGE

NETQUOTEVAR:BODY

</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
</DIV>
<!-- Add your Shopping Cart footer html here -->
<!-- ShoppingCart HTML end -->

No - you don't need to edit the cart.

OK, the first thing to do is edit all your products in the section so that the short description is something descriptive (e.g. 20mm Triangular Rings). It won't matter that they are all the same. This is what will appear within the cart.

Then change the full description to be something like '(1-99)'

Then edit the product layout template (e.g. Act_ProduictLine.html or whatever) to hide the product name and in its place put in the full description. The code I gave you above will do this.

I'll admit i'm not at all fluent with HTML - i can't where i need to put this in the product line template.

<!-- ProductLine1 HTML begin -->
<!-- Insert HTML for the top of the individual product -->
NETQUOTEVAR:INCLUDE Act_ProductSeparator.html
NETQUOTEVAR:ENDSEPARATOR
<TR>
<!-- NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTIMAGE -->
<TD COLSPAN="2" VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="LEFT" height=9>
NETQUOTEVAR:TEMPLATEBEGINXML
<Actinic:PRODUCT REF="NETQUOTEVAR:ACTUALPRODUCTREF"/>
<A NAME="NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTANCHOR"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2"><B>NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTNAME</B></FONT></A>
<FONT FACE=ARIAL SIZE=-1>NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTREF NETQUOTEVAR:PRICEEXPLANATION
</FONT>
</TD>

<TD VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="right" width=9>
<Actinic:ACTIONS>NETQUOTEVAR:ADDTOCARTBUTTON</Actinic:ACTIONS>
</TD>
</TR>

<TR>
<TD COLSPAN="3" ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE=ARIAL SIZE=-1>
<I>NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTDESCRIPTION
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTBEGINLINKNETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTLINKTEXTNETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTENDLINK</I><B>NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTPRICE</B>
</FONT>NETQUOTEVAR:TEMPLATEENDXML</TD>
</TR>
NETQUOTEVAR:NEXT
<!-- ProductLine1 HTML end -->

[NormanRouxel]

Try this (untested) template. It also makes things more concise.

<!-- ProductLine1 HTML begin -->
<!-- Insert HTML for the top of the individual product -->
NETQUOTEVAR:INCLUDE Act_ProductSeparator.html
NETQUOTEVAR:ENDSEPARATOR
<TR>
<!-- NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTIMAGE -->
<TD COLSPAN="2" VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="LEFT">
NETQUOTEVAR:TEMPLATEBEGINXML
<Actinic:PRODUCT REF="NETQUOTEVAR:ACTUALPRODUCTREF"/>
<A NAME="NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTANCHOR"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2"><B>NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTDESCRIPTION</A> NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTPRICE<!-- NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTNAME -->NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTBEGINLINKNETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTLINKTEXTNETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTENDLINK</B></FONT>
<FONT FACE=ARIAL SIZE=-1>NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTREF NETQUOTEVAR:PRICEEXPLANATION 
</FONT>
</TD>

<TD VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="right">
<Actinic:ACTIONS>NETQUOTEVAR:ADDTOCARTBUTTON</Actinic:ACTIONS>
NETQUOTEVAR:TEMPLATEENDXML
</TD>
</TR>
NETQUOTEVAR:NEXT
<!-- ProductLine1 HTML end -->

[david1978]

Thanks! How can I 'unbold' the text stating the unit price?

[NormanRouxel]

Change

<A NAME="NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTANCHOR"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2"><B>NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTDESCRIPTION</A> NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTPRICE<!-- NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTNAME -->NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTBEGINLINKNETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTLINKTEXTNETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTENDLINK</B></FONT>

to

<A NAME="NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTANCHOR"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2"><b>NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTDESCRIPTION</b></A> NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTPRICE<!-- NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTNAME -->NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTBEGINLINKNETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTLINKTEXTNETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTENDLINK<FONT>

if you want bits in bold then add <b> and </b> around them.
