How do I implement my Custom Shopping Cart?

Post by TheDigitalMan »

Under MERCHANDISING / CUSTOM TEMPLATES / SHOPPING CART TEMPLATES I copied the "tabbed_sc.sst" file and renamed it "Classy_tabbed_sc.sst". I edited this file and have it working all except for loading the correct button graphics. I would like help on that also. I have created NEW button graphics and I left them named the same and reloaded them up to my site. I don't understand why they are not being used? Anyway, when I press the PREVIEW button it shows me a sample shopping cart using my edited template. It looks good like I said except for the buttons. But when I go into my store and add something to my cart I get a completely different shopping cart. I know that I probably have to edit the name of the shopping cart to use from "tabbed_sc.sst" to "Classy_tabbed_sc.sst" but WHERE is the question!

Thank you in advance for your kind help if you know the answer for me.

O.K. being impatient I went searching. I found where someone said I could leave the name the same and it would use mine instead of shopsites. I did not realize the names could be the same since whenever you try copying one it won't let you name it the same. But after you have it copied it will let you make a copy of it naming it back to its original name. I did this and all is well! It now shows my shopping cart when I add an item to it.

Now all I need help with is the buttons! I used the PURPLE TABBED THEME and I downloaded ALL the TABS & BUTTONS. I recolored them all in PhotoShop to match my color scheme. Than I saved them and re-uploaded them to my site. But it keeps showing the original purple colored buttons in my shopping cart. The buttons on my shopsite pages and product pages show up correctly. How can I fix this?

Randy,

Did you already go to Preferences > Store Text > Shopping Cart/Checkout ?

These two areas are where you set the locations of your buttons. Check there and make sure the buttons that are being referenced are the correct ones.
