We have a template called Generic that was set up to
allow users to build their own store from scratch or to
be used within an existing design. We've outlined the
steps below for integrating the software into a design
that's already been prepared. The price is
$105 for the Plus Version. If you are not using Dreamweaver or Frontpage
to edit your site then we recommend purchasing the
Dreamweaver version as it includes very little
proprietary code.
Each store page is made up of regular HTML wrapped
around 5 include lines so it's pretty simple to extract
the includes from the Generic template and paste them
into an existing page. The existing page will need to
have the same name as the page that the includes were
copied from, so when copying them from cart.asp /
cart.php they should be pasted into a page called
cart.asp / cart.php in the existing site.
In total there are 8 store pages:
- Affiliate
- Cart
- Categories
- Proddetail
- Products
- Search
- Sorry
- Thanks
The include lines will look something like this for
the ASP version with the last line changing depending on
the page:
<!--#include file="vsadmin/db_conn_open.asp"-->
<!--#include file="vsadmin/includes.asp"-->
<!--#include file="vsadmin/inc/languagefile.asp"-->
<!--#include file="vsadmin/inc/incfunctions.asp"-->
<!--#include file="vsadmin/inc/inccart.asp"-->
... or for the PHP software:
<?php include "vsadmin/db_conn_open.php" ?>
<?php include "vsadmin/includes.php" ?>
<?php include "vsadmin/inc/languagefile.php" ?>
<?php include "vsadmin/inc/incfunctions.php" ?>
<?php include "vsadmin/inc/inccart.php" ?>
Once those have all been copied over, you will also
want to move over the store folders, these will be
vsadmin, prodimages and for the ASP version, fpdb
Finally for the PHP version only, you will need to
add a line of code to the top of each page, this will go
before the opening <HTML> tag with absolutely no
spaces before or after:
<?php
session_cache_limiter('none');
session_start(); ?>
That's about is so it will now be possible to upload
all the files to your server, make the database
connection and start adding products.
Note: The pages cart.asp / cart.php,
affiliate.asp / affiliate.php and search .asp /
search.php include forms so it's best to allow plenty of
horizontal space for them. |
