More Settings



The "More Settings" button on the Wizard's "My Web Pages" section represents several options you have for your Main Menu, Product Pages and Category Pages:


Main Menu Options:

Select 'Expanding Menu' if you want your Category menu to expand to the right with its sub-categories when the mouse is over it (pop-out menu). Select 'Non-Expanding Menu' if you do not want your main menu to expand with Sub-Categories until they are clicked on.

The number entered in "Maximum number of sub-category items to be displayed" controls how many sub-category items you want your Pop-out menu to show before a "More" button is presented and the remaining sub-categories go on a new pop-out to the right when the mouse is put over the "More" button. FORTUNE3 recommends having less than 20 sub-category items to be displayed in order to save vertical space and to avoid your customers from having to scroll down in order to see the full set of the sub-category menu.

Checkmark the "Display the Products Menu on all web pages" option if you would like to display your Product Menu (or Categories Menu) on every page on your site - including your Index Page (Home Page). By default, this option is checked.

Checkmark the "Display the links added to my Home Page on all web pages" option only if you have added additional informational web pages to your site with links on the Main Menu under your Index Page on the Wizard's "My Web Pages" section and you would like to display those links on every page in your site - including your product and checkout pages. This option saves time and allows you to avoid having to add links to every single page you create. By default, this option is checked.

I want my general products page to contain:

This is where you select what you want to display on your General Products page, which is the page that visitors will get to when they click on "Products" and represented by the link token {f3products}. Select one of the options given:

Special Offers Only (if any): Selecting this option will display Special Offers, which are products that have both a Regular Price and an On Sale price defined. A "Related Categories" section will also be shown under the products for easier navigation within the current page. If this option is selected and there are no Special Offers in your Product Tree, your General Products Page will display your standard products.

Special Deals Only (if any): Selecting this option will display Special Deals, which are products that are included in deals that are defined within Product Categories (Products beyond this point may reflect a 2nd product discounted by a percentage - Buy one, get the 2nd Product Discounted by ___%). If this option is selected and there are no Special Deals in your Product Tree, your General Products Page will display your standard products.

All Products / Services: Selecting this option will display all of your web store's Products in the order in which they are in on the Product Tree. All products in all categories and sub-categories will be included.

Categories and Sub Categories: Selecting this option will display only your Main Level Categories on your General Products Page (as "Related Categories"). Selecting this option will also make your shopping cart only display the Sub-Categories of a Parent Category, if a Parent Category is clicked on (on the Categories Menu) and if it has no products directly under it (only Sub-Categories).

Select Menu Items:

Only checkmark those links that you want displayed on your website's Main Menu. By Default your Main Menu will display links to all of these pages if the pages are enabled on your site, but they can be un-checked here in order to remove them. This Main Menu is the menu which is displayed underneath the Categories list on the left side of the template.

Home: Displays a link to your main index page on your main menu.

Products: Displays a link on the main menu to the page that contains either all Categories, all Special Offers, all Special Deals, or all of your products, depending on what you select under the "I want my general products page to contain" section just above.

Search: Displays a link to your Search page on your main menu to allow your customers to search for specific keywords.

View Shopping Cart: Displays a link on your main menu that takes your customers to a page to view the current contents of the shopping cart. This can also be linked elsewhere by creating a link to "viewcart.cgi" anywhere on your site.

Specials: If you have "Special Offers" (products with an "On Sale" price), this will display a link on your main menu that allows your customers to view all items that are marked as a "Special Offer".

Affiliates: If you have activated the "Affiliate Program" (you may activate this in the Admin Site under "Tools -> Affiliate Program"), this option displays a link on your main menu to your site's affiliates program for your affiliates to log in, and for potential future affiliates to sign up and create an affiliate account.

Wholesale/Retail Link: If you have activated both the "Retail Site" and the "Wholesale Site" (in the My Company -> Retail Options / Wholesale Options sections), this will display a link on your main menu that goes to your Wholesale Login / Wholesale Account Request screen.

Rate this Site: Displays your site's rating and customers' comments and gives your customers (who have purchased from you) the ability to rate your site. You will be able to approve or deny each customer's rating and comments by monitoring these ratings through the Administration Site's "Manage -> Site Ratings" section.

Category Pages should contain the following information:

Checkmark only the options for the pieces of information that you would like to display on your Category Pages. Category pages show several products in each page, so if too much information is being displayed it may sometimes overcrowd your category pages with text. You can also specify how many products you want to display per category page, and whether you would like to use FORTUNE3's One-Column display format or Two-Column display format. FORTUNE3 recommends that you do not display more than 15-30 products per page, as too many images loading on a page may bring slow loading times on your Category pages.

This will search and show the results for all matching products within the current category.

Related Categories: Displays any sub-categories that are within the current category, or all other categories within the same parent category.
