Editing
a Cart Template in HTML Programs: Adobe Dreamweaver
or Microsoft FrontPage: |
In order to edit your cart
templates in an HTML editor like Dreamweaver or FrontPage,
you must first download one of FORTUNE3's cart templates
to your computer (unless you have already done this).
If you have not already done so:
| • |
Go to the "Cart
Templates" section of "My Web Pages". |
| • |
Select a cart template style
for either "Products" or "Categories".
You may preview each style by selecting the radio
button pertaining to the layout that you wish
to preview and clicking on the "Preview"
button. |
| • |
Once you have chosen the
layout you would like to download and customize,
select the radio button on top of the layout and
click on the "Modify As" button,
the template download will begin. |
| • |
Once the template is downloaded,
a screen will prompt you to enter the "New
Template Name ". |
| • |
Fill in the "New
Template Name" field by entering a name
that would reference your cart template - we recommend
that you use your FORTUNE3 username as your template's
name in order to avoid confusion. The name you
enter here will be reflected in your Template's
Folder Path. |
| • |
Click on "OK"
and then click on "Apply" on
the HTML panel Screen - > And Yes on the Prompt
Window. |
Once you have the cart template
downloaded to your computer,
you may go to the HTML editor program (Dreamweaver,
FrontPage, etc.) and in the program, go to File ->
Open. Then browse through your PC's files to open the
following file on your computer:
For
Product Page Templates:
C:\Program Files\FORTUNE3
Wizard\PageTemplates\Products\TemplateName\tmplproducts.html
For
Category Page Templates:
C:\Program Files\FORTUNE3
Wizard\PageTemplates\Categories\TemplateName\tmplcategories.html
TIP:
TemplateName
= This is what you entered in the
"New Template Name"
field when you first downloaded the cart template.
Make your changes to the cart
template within this file and then simply save the file.
Once you save the file, you are finished, the next time
you upload your site you will see the changes you made
to the cart template on your site. Needless to say,
these are the files that represent your custom cart
templates.
Make your changes to the
cart template carefully. If there are any 'if conditions'
or 'loops' that are not properly formatted or closed,
errors will show on the site. 'If conditions' and 'loops'
should not be altered or removed, they look like this:
[% IF ... %]
[% ELSIF ... %]
[% ELSE %]
[% FOREACH ... %]
[% UNLESS ... %]
[% END %]
Refer to new images and
animated objects being incorporated by specifying the
file name followed by the corresponding file extension
(.gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .fla, .swf, .swd, .spl
/ exclude the Folder Path. i.e. <IMG SRC="imagename.gif..">).
Folder Path for the 'Cart Template Design' - where
to put your cart template's images and files:
This field specifies the Template's Folder Path
in your local drive for your custom cart template. The
Template's Folder Path is shown under the HTML
panel, which is usually:
For
Category Page Templates:
C:\Program Files\FORTUNE3 Wizard\PageTemplates\Categories\TemplateName\
For
Product Page Templates:
C:\Program Files\FORTUNE3 Wizard\PageTemplates\Products\TemplateName\
Incorporate all
of the new images and animated objects referenced in
the HTML code by saving their corresponding files (.gif,
.jpg, .jpeg, .jpe, .png, .fla, .swf, .swd, .spl
formats) directly into the specified Template's Folder
Path - do not use sub-folders.
The
Template's Folder Path contains many files,
particularly image files. You may change any of the
files and images in the Template's Folder Path.
When you upload, the changed images will be reflected
on your site.
Any new images or files you add to the cart
template must have the image files located directly
in the Template's Folder Path,
without any sub-folders,
and referred to within the HTML code as simply <img
src="file.ext".....>.

Editing on "Cart Templates"
For Graphic Designers and Web Developers:
To edit the cart template's buttons and graphics
all at once, use Macromedia / Adobe Fireworks
to modify the colors and design of the template's
graphics ("Category Layout #.png or Product
Layout #.png" are the files that will
be downloaded with each template and should be
available in your Template's Folder Path).
Do not delete, change names, shapes, sizes and
positions of the predefined slices).
Once finished, use
the graphics software to export all of the slices
to the specified Template's Folder Path. |
