Where does one find the documentation on the version 7.0 shopping cart
template? (And for that matter the new template feature specifications
for all the templates.)

David

Also are their any sample alternate templates?

In ShopSite Manager and Pro v7, you can use the new Copy ShopSite
Template functionality in Merchandising -> Custom Templates to copy any
of the ShopSite default templates (the ones that use the Custom Template
language, that is, some of the really old page and product templates
don't) into your own area to view and edit them. At this time there are
no other examples of a shopping cart or customer registration templates
available from ShopSite, but you can use the included ones as examples
to make your own, as others already have.

A good example of a store using custom page, product, shopping cart, and
registration templates (and the new Pro mini-cart feature) is wle.com.

But the documentation is not in the templates. And it does actually exist
- why not have it available?

The shopping cart "Continue Shopping" button doesn't work right. It
appears to read the referring document URL and goes to it. This action
results in the placement of the referring document at the top of the
browser's history stack - rather than the desired effect of decrementing
the stack pointer to the previous document:


Browser History Stack
Continue Shopping Desired
Button effect effect

B <- C
C B <-
B A
A

Where C is the shopping cart and B is the page that sent you to the cart.

It appears (I haven't thoroughly tested it, yet) that I can get what I
want with the following:

<a class="pagelink" href="javascript:history.back(-1)">Back</a>

But this requires that the browser have javascript enabled (the Continue
Shopping button does not.) I realize that I may have to live with this
(and tell the non-javascript people to use their back button), but if
there is something to work from in the documentation of the cart template
I'd like to give it a shot.

While examples are nice, without some documentation it's just trial and
error.
