converting 7.0 page and product templates to a Multi-Produc

[Gary Miller]

I am using shopsite 7.03 and I want to be able to convert a product and page
template, for example a tabs style, so I can add
more than one item to a shopping cart at once from a product page.

I found a reference on how to create a bare bones version of this from a 6.3
help page via shop site help
http://www.shopsite.com/help/6.3/en-US/ ... i-add.html

When I tried to modify 7.0 templates, I could not get the products to add.

Any advice or does anyone have a working example.

Thanks,

Gary

Post your template code that deals with multiple products, and maybe someone
can point out any errors. The example in the help docs does work, but it can
be tricky if you get into more advanced templating.

Thanks Rob!

I will get my overall template as I want it, then I will try again to
integrate the multiple products feature into it,
and will post it to the problem if I can't get it going myself.

Gary,
The main thing to consider is that all products must be in a form and
must have form submit buttons instead of just url links to add the
product to the cart. So the Page template must create the form and
submit button and the product template must create unique input values
using the record number for each product.

As Rob mentioned post your template to the newsgroup and we might be
able to see why it isn't working for you.

Hi Gary,
Here's an example of what you're looking for
http://www.ahoycaptain.com/shop/switlik_pod4.html
The problem that I have with this format is, the product must be a page - in
this case the Switlik rescue Pod 4 must be defined as a page with products
assigned to the page. Though this works very well, it does get a little
awkward. I'm currently working to create the same affect in a more
information page with sub-products. The product can be a sub-product of
itself so it would deisplay in the list also.
If you're interested in the code, let me know.

Hi Vince,

I appreciate your offer of the code, but as I work with Shop Site, I am
thinking that I can live with having an individual add to product button for
each product, if someone wants to speed up the process of adding more than
one item on a page, I think that they can turn off the view cart
feature at the addition of each product added to the cart, this I think will
make the process relatively easy.

Thanks,

Gary
