Make
Advanced Buttons for your website - PHP Version Only.
This
section will help you make 'Add Buttons' for your store. These
'Add
Buttons' also allow the shopper to choose the 'Type' of some product.
For example, products may only differ in size or colour. You
can
add a drop-down menu to allow shoppers to choose the type of product
they want. However, the description, price, postage and vat
code
must all be exactly the same. If you choose the same
'set'
of buttons when you configure your store then there will be some
consistancy within your store. This button generator assumes
that the cart is in the default directory (/shopcart). Don't forget to update the 'Products' file through Administration.
Here
is an example:
Quantity
Size
Colour
The format for the two 'type' inputs are:
Product Type|Type Code
Note
that the'|' character is found to the left of 'Z' i.e. 'Shift \'.
It usually appears on the keyboard as two small vertical lines on
top of one another. It is commonly called bar; or; or-bar; v-bar;
pipe; vertical bar.
For
the example above, the text input would be:
Type
1
Type
2
Label
Label
Note
that the 'Type Code' should be short (typically three characters)
because this value is added to the Product Code to identify the
Types. If the shopper chooses a red, medium TeeShirt then the Product
Code would probably appear as TSHIRT-MED,RED.
Make
your buttons
Fill
in the details and press 'Get Button Code'. You will be given a
selection of button arangements with the apropriate HTML code to
insert into your web pages. When a shopper clicks on these buttons
the product will be added to their shopping cart. If you choose
the same 'set' of buttons when you configure your store then there
will be some consistancy within your store.
