New button in 2nd level catalog

[chris ashdown]

At present I have included a size guide in the top menu of the site (home page)

Still getting problems with wrong sizes being ordered by Women so need to consider putting the same guide on all pages menu.

I am using all the standard buttons" home, store top, terms & Cond, search, view cart, checkout, contact us, log in.

How can i add another button and link to page properties?

using ver 6

Hi Chris

If order to achieve this all you have to do is hard code the required button into the primary template(Act_Primary.html) and link that button to the URL that generates the size guide.

hope this helps

Can you tell me what to put where? as my knowledge of HTML is crap to say the least

Hope I am not pushing my luck to far

Hi Chris

I have sent you an e-mail explaining how to do this

Cheers

You suggested the following

1. Edit Act_Primary.html using Notepad

2. Look for NETQUOTEVAR:FOOTERGUIDEand after it insert the following bit of code( &nbsp<a href="http://www.internet-workwear.co.uk/acatalog/Size_Chart.html"><img src="myimage.gif" border="0"></a>)

What this should do is put a extra button called myimage next to all the regualr buttons you have. And when somebody clicks on this button it will bring up the size chart.

Please note you will have to replace the myimage.gif(this is just a dummy image which I created)with image which says "size"(the size button on your home page) .

When I find this as below I am not sure where to enter the new code, Please can you advise


<td align="right">NETQUOTEVAR:FOOTERGUIDE&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>

Save a copy of your Act_Primary.html before you do it and then enter the relevant html after <td align="right">NETQUOTEVAR:FOOTERGUIDE&nbsp;

Then preview it in your browser. Should work fine. If you have a problem email your Act_Primary.html and I'll help if you wish.

Dear Owen

Works OK except I have a pair of brackets around the button.

Used this code

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" background="palette1bg.gif">
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td align="right">NETQUOTEVAR:FOOTERGUIDE&nbsp;( &nbsp<a href="http://www.internet-workwear.co.uk/acatalog/Size_Chart.html"><img src="size1.gif" border="0"></a>)</td>
</tr>
</table>

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" height="100%">
<tr>
<td background="palette3bg.gif" valign="top" width="160"><br>
NETQUOTEVAR:SIMPLESEARCH <br><br>
NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP<br>
</td>

Thats because you weren't supposed to put the brackets in the html. The brackets were just meant to show you what to put. The actual text you need to put is exactly as follows:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" background="palette1bg.gif">
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td align="right">NETQUOTEVAR:FOOTERGUIDE&nbsp;<a href="http://www.internet-workwear.co.uk/acatalog/Size_Chart.html"><img src="size1.gif" border="0"></a></td>
</tr>
</table>

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" height="100%">
<tr>
<td background="palette3bg.gif" valign="top" width="160"><br>
NETQUOTEVAR:SIMPLESEARCH <br><br>
NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP<br>
</td>


Should do the trick
