AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

I'm evaluating AbleCommerce for a customer who has some specific appearance requirements.

1) Which content/layout item do I have to edit to show the category list on product pages?

2) Is it possible to force the category list ([[ConLib:SimpleCategoryList]]) show on all user pages?

Are non-demo versions of AC as incredibly slow as the demo store, 5-6 seconds for the drop down menus on the admin pages to show? Are they ajax menus that they're that slow?

You can have the category list show on all pages by specifying the top categegory id in the scriplet where you put the control. For example, in the Standard Sidebar 1, change

[[ConLib:SimpleCategoryList]]

to

[[ConLib:SimpleCategoryList CategoryId="0"]]

I the sites I've worked on for Able 7 don't have speed problems-- it's been running about 4 times faster than Able 5 sites.

Judy, thanks for your reply but let me restate my question. Is there a single scriplet I can edit to change all pages or do I have to edit each scriplet individually.

For example, right now I just want to have the product category menu appear on the product detail page.

Thanks again.

If you want to place it in side bar then you just need to apply the standarad sidebar1 scriptlet to the side bar of the product details page.
