without creating a custom product template, the product template is
where the More Info Page for the product is defined. If you are creating
a custom product template, you can do pretty much anything you want with
the More Info Pages.

This is turned on already. You cannot modify or add <head></head> tags in
the header and footer. If you add this, it makes a duplicate <head></head
tag in the pages.
Try it out.

Try turing on the univeral header and footer on the more-info pages under
Preferences > More Info.
This will tell ShopSite to display the header and footer on the more-info
pages.

Oh oh oh, I found an example. My site is not ready and is a mess. But
here
is the dilemma.
I have some css sheets that must be accessed for each page in the site,
so
the formatting for text and borders and such and also colors is all
consistent, and also some javascript. I want the header to be on all of
the
pages, and I cant seem to do it.
Here is an example of how the header for main category pages is fine,
but
then the 'more info page' shows the <head></head> tag to contan only the
page name. Take a look.

What are you trying to put into the <head> </head> section?
SheilA wrote:
There is no way to modify this <head></head> tags in the product
pages
or I
should say, the 'more information page' without doing a custom
template
which I am working on. THe default template in shopsite simply puts
the
name of the page in <head></head> for each 'more info page' when a
user
clicks on the 'more information page' link. If this is not
enabled,
then
all is well as the meta tag section in 'pages-edit page content' is
displayed.
It is only when the 'more information page' is clicked. This is
where
my
problem arises.
Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks again

What you are saying then is that you are trying to write code into
the
head
/head> tag of the product page but have no way to edit it in shop
site?

Yes, I totally understand this. My previous messages still
apply.
which is this:
Basically, the meta tag section you set set in 'pages' content
does
not
carry through to the product pages, when you go to an individual
product
page, all this is gone and a new <head> tag is created with just
the
description of the product, this comes from default product
template.
and if you put <head></head> stuff in the Header portion of
Header/Footer it
creates it s own second entry of <head></head>. This is a
problem.
Perhaps
I am doing something wrong, if not, a serious bug in shopsite.
I hope somebody knows the answer.
Thanks

I think that there is some confusion about what the "Universal
Header"
is
verses
the "<head>" section of an html page when using ShopSite.
The "Universal Header" in ShopSite is not the same as the
"<head>"
section
of
standard html source code.
When entering information into the "Universal Header" field of
ShopSite
you
should think of it as the top of a news paper where you would
have
the
name of
the paper displayed.

Hello
THese are checked. I cant seem to include any header info
on
Header
and
Footer under preferences, because it will create another
head
/head
tag, because these are already created in pages, edit page
content.
But
this does not carry through to the product pages. That is
my
problem,
so I
have to create a product template.
how do you avoid this problem.

If you are referring to the products' More Info Pages,
there
are
some
global configuration options for those, including whether
or
not
to
put
the Header and Footer on the More Info Pages, located in
Preferences -
More Info Pages.

I have the essential header information that I did put
in
the
header
and
footer in shopsite, but this does not seem to carry
through
to
the
product
pages. It should I would think. But for some reason,
it
is
not.
The
header info for the product pages contains nothing but
the
TITLE
for
the
page.

The default ShopSite templates are hard coded in C code
so
they
are
not
available as custom templates. The default templates
must
contain
code
to handle every possible configuration for the page and
product
settings
and so are quite complicated. Normally a store doesn't
need
all
that
complexity so the custom templates can be simpler
because
they
only
need
to specify the data fields that are actually being used
by
the
store.
Help in defining custom templates can be found in the
help
at:
http://www.shopsite.com/help/6.3/en-US/ ... intro.html
And sample template examples can be found in the
ShopSite
help
at:
http://www.shopsite.com/help/6.3/en-US/ ... .spec.html
If you just need to add some lines to the header of each
page
have
you
tried putting it in the store Header under Preferences
Header
Footer?
You asked for the "default product template" but you
would
really
need
to put the information in a Page template for it to show
on
pages.
