question about default product template

[SheilA]

is there a way to get a copy of the default product template, and then use
it to make a new template? I just want to add some lines to the header of
each product page.

Thanks

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.

Thanks for your response.
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.

Thanks again

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.

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.

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.

[SheilA]

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.

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?

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.

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.

What are you trying to put into the <head> </head> section?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
