Product / layout question?

[arthanus]

Hi guys,

Been playing with the layouts again and seems to be all good now. But as I read earlier in one post "and they're never satisfyied"..

Here's my question. I have a product that has multiple sizes to it. I'd like to use 1 image placed into a column to the left and have three columns with the following. So I can list all three sized and add to cart for each product within the one table.

*scratches head..did that come out right?*

Anyway..sorta like this.


image size retail our price add to cart
<pic> s 2.00 1.00 cart button
m 99.00 2.00 cart button


I'm thinking I should be playing with the Act_Productline.html?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You are correct

You are going to have to get your head around how products work (the Designing with Actinic Guide is invaluable in helping with this), and then create a new product template that lays out two products at once.

The new template needs to have a basic structure the same as the following:

<!-- first product begins -->
NETQUOTEVAR:ENDSEPARATOR
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMBEGIN
  <tr> 
    <td rowspan="2">[IMAGE FOR FIRST PRODUCT]</td>
    <td colspan="2">[TEXT AND CART BUTTON FOR FIRST PRODUCT]</td>
  </tr>
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMEND
NETQUOTEVAR:NEXT
<!-- first product ends -->
<!-- second product begins -->
NETQUOTEVAR:ENDSEPARATOR
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMBEGIN
  <tr> 
    <td colspan="2">[TEXT AND CART BUTTON FOR NEXT PRODUCT]</td>
  </tr>
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMEND
NETQUOTEVAR:NEXT
<!-- second product ends -->
