Search results and shopping cart layout questions

[TheInkDepot]

I want the search results to reflect the look of the rest of the site, when the results are viewed result No.1 is different to the rest, Also just above and below the actual results it says something like ‘Results 1-4 of 4’ I would like to change this font too!

You can see what I mean if you go to www.theinkdepot.co.uk and do a simple search.

At the moment the simple search is hard coded onto the page and I cant seem to get a rollover to work…if I apply ‘swapimage’ in DW it stops working completely!

Next…I know sorry guys…lots of questions! I want to add my own buttons to the check out and personal details input part of the cart ‘cancel’ ‘change’ and ‘next’, I’d also like to work on the form where the customer puts in their address details!

As always all assistance is much appreciated as I’v bee pulling my hair out AGAIN!



Many thanx

Neil

Hi there. It's a really nice looking site - well done.

when the results are viewed result No.1 is different to the rest

Check Act_ResultsTemplate.html. I think your span tags are a bit off. Here is an extract (with line breaks added to help visibility):

<span class="maintxt">
	<b><Actinic:S_PNAME/></b>
</span>
</A>
<span class="maintxt">
</span>
	<Actinic:S_SNAME/>
	<Actinic:S_PRICE/>
</span>

Try getting rid of the </span> just before <Actinic:S_SNAME/>.

Also just above and below the actual results it says something like ‘Results 1-4 of 4’ I would like to change this font too!

Looks like you have done. I take it you found <Actinic:S_SUMMARY/>

At the moment the simple search is hard coded onto the page and I cant seem to get a rollover to work…if I apply ‘swapimage’ in DW it stops working completely!

Check outthis knowledge base article as it shows you how to do rollovers for <input type="image"> tags.

I want to add my own buttons to the check out and personal details input part of the cart ‘cancel’ ‘change’ and ‘next’, I’d also like to work on the form where the customer puts in their address details!

Check out p29 of the Advanced User Guide - there is a section on 'Using Images For the Checkout Buttons'.

Hi Chris

Thanx for your advice and the compliment on the site :-))

Steve from Harlequin worked his magic AGAIN yesterday on the 'results' page issues which now look great!

I've followed the instructions in the advanced user guide and changed the 'back', 'cancel' and 'next' buttons but still cant get my head around the rollover thingy, any chance of an example bit of code showing the exact format it should take? I did look at the link you recommended but it wasnt very clear (to me anyway) and didnt work when I tried it.

I would really like to change all the buttons on the site so customers weird and wonderful browser settings dont knock the look out of joint so next on the list are the 'change' button and the 'search' button at the bottom of the results page!

Any advice gratefully received as usual :-))

Cheers

Neil

Here's some example code for the 'search' button:

<input name="ACTION" type="image" src="quicksearch.gif" width="49" height="19" border="0" onMouseOver="src='quicksearch2.gif' " onMouseOut="src='quicksearch.gif' " ALT="Quick Search">

Hope it helps.

Hi Chris

Thanx for that, I worked through it last night and managed to get it working but just realised I forgot the ALT bit!

Got another annoying problem now....I've changed the 'back', 'cancel' and 'next' buttons which are fine until they get the page to select payment type...on that page the buttons are the browser generated ones???

Any ideas

The url is: www.theinkdepot.co.uk

Many thanx

That page is generated from Act_Order02.html. Have you made the change to that template?

Also, the code for the 'Change' button on the first address page is in 'Design | Text'. Click 'Go to' and go to prompt '2067'.

Thanx again Chris

I'd forgotten all about changing Act_Orde02.html!!! works a treat now! Does anyone ever really get to grips with Actinic???

The advanced user guide says something about editing the OrderScript.pl to include an image for the 'change' button. Is this correct or do I paste the code in the area you mentioned in you earlier reply?

Many thanks

Kind regards

Neil

In p31 of the latest Advanced User Guide is a chapter called 'Using Images for the 'Change Location' Button', which contains instructions about what to do, and the script change that is required for this to work.

I have not tested this with the rollover code, but I can't see any reason why it won't work (famous last words? )
