1. No - you cannot include the product price automatically into the section line template. You could use a custom property at the section level to include the price into the section link template.

2. In the knowledge base HERE it talks about a hyperlink that can add products to the cart from anywhere in the store. Trouble is, to make this work as a template you would need variables for a) the product reference and b) the section id - neither of which are available to the section link layout template.

Note: A much better approach would be to have the product twice in the store. Once in a compact way and once in a more extended way. v7 has support for product duplicates and much better linking between products which will support this - but you can do it in v6 with components - see the advanced user guide on p10 for info.

3. Yes - that would use the variable NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONLINK.

4. Go into the overall layout template and locate the code that looks like

      <table width="100" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">
        <tr>
           <td background="pxl_red.gif">
            <div align="center"> <span class="actxxsmall">
                    <script language="JavaScript">
						document.write("NETQUOTEVAR:CARTCOOKIEITEMS&nbsp;" + getCartItem(3)+"&nbsp;<BR>");
						document.write("NETQUOTEVAR:CARTCOOKIEVALUE&nbsp;" + getCartItem(1));
					</script>
              </span> </div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Change the background of the 'td' to something else.

5. The relevant templates are Act_ParentSectionsSeparator.html, Act_ParentSectionsLink.html and Act_ParentSectionsThis.html.

Thanks....

Would it be possible to creat seperate html pages to display my products within the site and add a add the add to basket function?

I have worked out a way to display the price in the section, although this is not how I wanted it, but it works! Simply put the price as a section description using the NETQUOTE:SECTIONTEXT.

Thirdly, is it possible someone could post an example to my Q3. (Note 3)


Thanks in advance...

I don't understand. Could you clarify this please.

<a href="NETQUOTEVAR:SECTIONLINK"><img src="..."></a>

Apologies...

Would it be possible to create new html pages (using dreamweaver) to display my products (so I am able to use the add to basket function from anywhere in the site) instead of using actinic section template to do this.

My query is regarding your answer to my second question.


Many thanks again

That could work. Wouldn't hurt to try anyway. How many products do you have? - it could be a lot of work.

I have at the moment around 500+ products.... Do think in the long run it may be worth while....?

However I beleive each time I add a product to my catalog, I will have to edit the apporiate pages which makes it hard work!!!

thanks, u've been a great help I'll post my new site when im finished-alot of work still to do.

I would try it with 10 products and then make the decision.
