tweaks!

[carl@micro]

Hello
im having a little trouble tweaking my actininc site http://www.microphoto.co.uk/acatalog/

I need to take the quantity off the 'add to cart' page and off the shopping basket and checkout grids, as they are ordering an image and wouldnt order two of the same image (because they are 'rights free")

when you select a product and are taken though to the add to cart page, the the user will see something like "Couple in sunglasses _ Ref: LR1000-th
Please select one: - Sizes available: Suitable for web 30.00 (GBP)" depending on what they order? i need to take away the "please select on: - sizes available"

and finally, can i let the user chose what method of delivery they would like (ie- 1st calss, 2nd class etc)




please help!!! im so close to finishing the site!!




warmest regards
carl

Removing Quantity :

Hi Carl,

You will not be able to have the quantity button disappear from all over the site at once. That will prevent you from checking out. Actinic also requires a minimum quantity of 1 to be able to proceed with a sale. There is a workaround...

Go To: Advanced | Template Manager | Ordering | Cart Table | click on this link and it will open Act_ShoppingCartXML.html. Take a back-up of the page and save in another location. In this page run a "Find" for "Quantity" it should bring up two choices, the second choice will be within the following code ...

<TD WIDTH=60 ALIGN=RIGHT><SPAN CLASS="actxsmall">NETQUOTEVAR:QUANTITY</SPAN></TD>

Comment out this string with a <!-- & --> to close it off.

Go to : View | Business Settings | Ordering | and tick "Order Quantity always one' this will take care of the value and will prevent anyone from ordering 2 of the same image.

Go to: Design | Text and search for "Phase: -1 ID: 159" ( Hit the 'Go to' button at the bottom and enter the id number in the prompt) It will come up with a text value "QUANTITY" Delete it. Next search for ID: 166 this again is 'Quantity' you can change the text here to text of your Choice, for example " The number of Images you have chosen so far is" and hit the "Apply" button at the bottom of the page. This will make the text that normally appeared as 'Quantity' along with a checkbox with the number to appear with your choice of text.

You will have to do the same for the other changes you required, the 'Sizes Available' etc.,

For your customers to have choices in shipping class you need to have them set-up in View | Business Settings | Shipping and Handling | Shipping Bands | and set up the various classes you want to offer your customers. Once this is doen they will be able to view the choices from a dropdown menu on the checkout page.

Hope this helps,

Cheers!

Hey Carl,

You have the

appearing because they are names of your 'Component' and 'Attribute' of your product.
