e-commerce package. However I can't figure out how to do it. I need the
site more dynamic then using the Order Anywhere buttons... but I need the
cool features I can get with frontpage. what are my options..... I'm trying
to create pages templates to do it but it doesn't seem to work....HELP!!!!

I use limited feature from Front Page but it should do anything Front Page
can. The basic concept of the program is that it is a database driven web
site. You use templates and tag to create the site. Any HTML will work.
It basically save me hours every week because it creates all the new pages I
need automatically. If I set up a template to show 8 items on a page and I
assign 40 items, it will automatically create 5 pages, create the links and
all necessary html. Very cool program!

I dont' have 2500 to put out for the software. I thought this was a form
for help with shopsite and not a commerical for the Ecom Assembler I keep
seeing everywhere. I need help with the product as is... not some add on.

Hi Mike,

Once you create the look that you like in Front Page analyse it and
break the page into various components that relate to ShopSite fields.
For an example of what some built in shopsite template use the various
fields look at
http://www.shopsite.com/help/6.3/en-US/ ... lates.html
click on the various thumbnails to see a larger view.

To see an annotated screen shot using a custom template go to
http://www.shopsite.com/help/6.3/en-US/ ... ample.html

Once you have decided on which parts of the page go into which ShopSite
database field simply edit the Front Page generated html and Replace
that section with the appropriate ShopSite tag.
There are sample templates in the ShopSite help at
http://www.shopsite.com/help/6.3/en-US/ ... .spec.html.

I would start with a very basic page until you see how things work and
then you can expand from there. Try a page with just a header, footer,
text1 and a single product. Put the information that relates to a
specific area on your Frontpage page into the appropriate ShopSite
fields. Then take the Frontpage html and at the top of it put
[--Define Page--] and at the bottom of it put [--End_Define page--]
Where the main page header is replace it with the ShopSite Tag
[--HEADER--]
In the spot where the Descriptive text on the page is in the html output
put the ShopSite tag [--Page.Text1--]
Replace the html code for the product with
[--Loop Products --]
[--PRODUCT--]
[--END_LOOP PRODUCTS--]
Where the footer section of the page is replace it with
[--Footer--]

The custom templates are very powerful and give you the flexibility to
make your pages look pretty much any way you want them to look.

Jim
