Help With Product Template

[Dave Fisher]

Hi,

I have been playing around with a compact product template and have all the fields I require listed Ie image, desc, product ref, price, quantity etc

I am really struggling to understand tables etc and can not get these fields to line up correctly.

Would someone be kind enough to tell an idiot like me where I am going wrong ?

NETQUOTEVAR:ENDSEPARATOR
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMBEGIN
<tr>
<td colspan="3">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="250"><td align="left">NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTIMAGE</td><a
name="NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTANCHOR">NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTNAME</a></td>
<td align="right">NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTREF</td>
<td align="right"
width="100">NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTPRICE</td>
<td align="right">NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTQUANTITY</td>
<td align="right">NETQUOTEVAR:ADDTOCARTBUTTON</td>
<td align="right">NETQUOTEVAR:EXTINFOBUTTON</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMEND
NETQUOTEVAR:NEXT

IF we knew what you were trying to do....

---------------------------------------------------------
| Image |Product | Ref | Price | Qty | Cart | More |
| here | Name | No | here | Select | Button | info |
---------------------------------------------------------

is what the table says you want, but you have not allowed for any formatting contained in the NETQUOTEVARs themselves.

[Dave Fisher]

Yes that is what I am trying to do but are struggling with the formatting to achieve that.

Any help with the coding although cheeky to ask would be appreciated !

This will give you four columns with image, product name, price - then qty and cart button together in the last column.

<!-- ProductLineUltraCompact HTML begin -->
<!-- Insert HTML for the top of the individual product -->
NETQUOTEVAR:INCLUDE Act_ProductSeparator.html
NETQUOTEVAR:ENDSEPARATOR
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMBEGIN
  <tr>
    <td rowspan="2" valign="TOP" align="CENTER"> NETQUOTEVAR:TEMPLATEBEGINXML NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTIMAGE </td>
    <td valign="TOP" align="LEFT" colspan="2">  
      <a name="NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTANCHOR"></a><span class="actregular"><b>NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTNAME</b></span></td>
<td valign="top"><span class="actxsmall">NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTREF</span> 
     <!-- NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTDESCRIPTION&nbsp;</span> NETQUOTEVAR:EXTINFOLINK</span>NETQUOTEVAR:EXTINFOBUTTON -->
      <span class="actxsmall">NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTBEGINLINKNETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTLINKTEXTNETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTENDLINK

    <td align="LEFT" colspan="2"><span class="actxsmall">

			<Actinic:ACTIONS>NETQUOTEVAR:ADDTOCARTBUTTON</Actinic:ACTIONS>
		    </span>
	NETQUOTEVAR:TEMPLATEENDXML
       </td>
  </tr>
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMEND
NETQUOTEVAR:NEXT
<!-- Insert HTML for the bottom of the individual product -->
<!-- ProductLineUltrCompact HTML end -->

Hi,

Can anyone please help me in trying to layout my compact product listing?

Its nearly there but seems to go over 4 lines because there is obviously insufficent space to fit it all on one line. Tried various mods myself but only made the matter worse.

Would like the list split across 2 lines ie

image, short description
product reference, price, quantity

Please follow the link below to see what I mean
http://www.ukcheaptoners.co.uk/acata...12_Toners.html

The current html for the products is

<!-- ProductLineUltraCompact HTML begin -->
<!-- Insert HTML for the top of the individual product -->
NETQUOTEVAR:INCLUDE Act_ProductSeparator.html
NETQUOTEVAR:ENDSEPARATOR
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMBEGIN
<tr>
<td rowspan="2" valign="TOP" align="CENTER"> NETQUOTEVAR:TEMPLATEBEGINXML NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTIMAGE </td>
<td valign="TOP" align="LEFT" colspan="2">
<a name="NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTANCHOR"></a><span class="actxsmall"><b>NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTNAME</b></span></td>
<td valign="top"><span class="actxsmall">NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTREF</span>
<!-- NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTDESCRIPTION&nbsp;</span> NETQUOTEVAR:EXTINFOLINK</span>NETQUOTEVAR:EXTINFOBUTTON -->
<span class="actxsmall">NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTBEGINLINKNETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTLINKTEXTNETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTENDLINK
NETQUOTEVAR:PRICEEXPLANATION </span><b>NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTPRICE</b>
<span class="actxsmall">NETQUOTEVARISCOUNTINFO </span>
<span class="actxsmall">NETQUOTEVAR:OTHERINFOPROMPT </span>
<span class="actxsmall">NETQUOTEVARATEPROMPT </span>
</td><td valign="top"><span class="actxsmall">NETQUOTEVAR:EXTINFOLINK</span>NETQUOTEVAR:EXTINFOBUTTON</td>
<td align="LEFT" colspan="2"><span class="actxsmall">
NETQUOTEVAR:CARTERRORXMLNETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTQUANTITY<br />
<Actinic:ACTIONS>NETQUOTEVAR:ADDTOCARTBUTTON</Actinic:ACTIONS>
</span>
NETQUOTEVAR:TEMPLATEENDXML
</td>
</tr>
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMEND
NETQUOTEVAR:NEXT
<!-- Insert HTML for the bottom of the individual product -->
<!-- ProductLineUltrCompact HTML end -->


Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave,

The link you point to has a setup that uses a single add to cart button per page, you can do that be setting it at the section level on the layout tab. If you have 'Use parent' selected under 'Shopping Mode' then uncheck, select 'Quantity on Product Page' and also ' Single add to cart button per page'. That should fix the layout for you.

Kind regards,

[Dave Fisher]

Hi Bruce,

Have tried this and it makes no difference to the layout at all.

Any other idea's/help would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

Dave,

I would suggest raising a support ticket @ http://www.actinic.co.uk/support/register.htm as we will need to take a look at the template or snapshot to see what is causing the issue for you.

Kind regards,

[Dave Fisher]

Thanks Bruce,

I want to have a play around with some other idea's and if the problem still persists I will log a support call as you suggest.

Once again many thanks for your help.

Regards,

Dave
