Adding a Contact Or Blog Page

[krawick$]

Is there any Template pages that can be brought into shopsite 10.00 that would give me a blog or contact page for awesome_orange template?

Thanks

There is no blog or Contact page for any theme in ShopSite. But you can still use whatever one you would like for a blog or Contact page.

For a Contact page just put your content in the Page Text 1, Text 2, Text 3 fields for the contact type page. Give it a page name of Contact Info or Contact or something similar and assign it to be a link on other pages just like a regular page so people can get to it.

For a blog you can just create blog type posts using the products feature and turn off display of fields like Price, Name etc on the Products > Edit Product Layout. Or you could make a copy of the product templated and remove the items you don't want to display and then just use that for blog posts. You would assign the blog "products" to a page just like you would normal products and they would be displayed when you publish the page.

Hi Jim,

Your suggestion looks good enough for us to try. How do you get the buy button to not show for the 'blog' products?

just leave the section of code for the add to cart button out of the template that is used for products on the blog.

Thought that may be the answer.

Got ya!
