How to link scriplets to footer links ie.About Us/

Post by jdepplover » Mon Sep 22, 2008 12:57 pm

Holy Cryin' Out Loud...I am so frustrated. I am trying to link my 'About Us,shipping terms,privacy policy,FAQ links that I have managed to put in my footer to the scriplets that I have created for each of these links. I can't go live until this is done. People have to be able to read your shipping terms etc...HELP!! I am a complete novice. Please know that any suggestions will have to be VERY basic for me to understand. :roll:

Thank you in advance!

You must edit the footer scriplet either via the admin tool or manually and insert your links ....

Example:

<!--
<Description>
Displays the standard store footer.
</Description>
-->
<DIV id=footer><P><A href="~/Default.aspx">Home</A> <A href="~/search.aspx">Search</A> <BR>© Copyright 2008 Able Solutions Corporation. All rights reserved.</P></DIV>


might be edited as so ....


<!--
<Description>
Displays the standard store footer.
</Description>
-->
<DIV id=footer><P><A href="~/Default.aspx">Home</A> <A href="~/search.aspx">Search</A> <A href="~/PrivacyPolicy.aspx">Privacy</A> <A href="~/shipInfo.aspx">Info</A><BR>© Copyright 2008 ALOM Technologies Corporation. All rights reserved.</P></DIV>

to the scriplets that I have created for each of these links
What are you meaning for that? The best way to handle this content is to make a webpage for each depending on how you want them broken out, then put the links in your footer to those web pages.

Thank you both for your posts!

How do I make the webpages and where do I make them? Do I make them in WORD and then save them as 'a webpage?'

Again, I am very new to all of this!! sorry. :oops:

Navigate to catalog on the merchant side and navigate to some category. You will see that on the right side in the Add Item section there is WebPage option. Click it to create a new WebPage.

Well, I found where to create the webpage. (I was wondering what that was for!) But, now I don't get how to link it to where I need it to go?

Thanks!

In webpages you can create your contents and then use the links to these web pages to link them to different pages. When you create a WebPage then you can access it in the category in which you created from the client side. Please read the following link that how to make WebPages show in the category.

I think you're looking to add all new content-only pages to your site.

In that case, there is a "blank" web page available for you. In the root of your site you'll find a page named webpage.aspx. Copy that webpage.aspx to something new like "storeterms.aspx".

Now you have to create a link somewhere on your home page to point to that new page. So edit your Home Page *content scriptlet* and add a link to http://yoursite.com/storeterms.aspx.

Now browse to your home page (logged in as admin) and click that link. You'll get a brand new page displayed with your default store scriptlets assigned. At the bottom, change the mode to Edit Mode and assign/create your desired layout, sidebar and content scriptlets.

This is how any number of new content-only pages can easily be added to the store front.
