Head scratcher. Why does my add-to-cart button have this att

Postby Mister.44 » Fri Jan 06, 2006 2:20 am

OK,

I am new to this client's site, and working with the past developers mess.

They are on SS 7.

Here is a sample of an old page:
http://www.crime-scene.com/ecpi/metal_detect.shtml


Here is a sample of the new page I am working on:
http://www.crime-scene.com/ecpi/new.shtml

Notice the "Order" button? This is the "add to cart" button. The reason this
looks wonky is because - for some reason - there are added attributes.

Hers is the OLD button:
<img src="http://www.crime-scene.com/ecpi/media/order.gif" alt="order.gif"
width="40" height="18" hspace="3" vspace="3" border="0" >Here is the NEW
button:
<img src="/ecpi/media/order.gif" width="40" height="18" alt="Order"
align="absmiddle" vspace="5" hspace="5" border="0">As you can see - they are
totally different! Why? I re-set the image attributes even. The top button
has the correct attributes. I have looked and not found where these
attributes are coming from or who to wack them back into shape!

One more riddle. Here is the <a> tag info. Why are the Storeid's different?
I know the site has gone through upgrades and most recently a transfer to
Lexiconn (great guys, plug).

What product template is being used? My guess is that the template is
building the add to cart link and it is not using the attributes set on
the image.

The storeid value is encrypted and will be different each time that it
is generated so as long as the button works don't worry about what the
actual value is.

OK - in the templates they use [PRODUCT.OrderCheckout]

So - where does one see if they can effect this further?

The image attributes for the image are as the old pages look.

Still scratching. Thanks for the help Jim!

Re: Head scratcher. Why does my add-to-cart button have this

Postby Jim » Mon Jan 09, 2006 4:57 pm

In a Pro level store [PRODUCT.OrderCheckout] will use the Add to Cart
and View cart assigned under Products > Edit Product Layout. What are
the values in those fields for the products in question? If this is a
Manager store then the store wide add and view cart buttons are used
under Preferences > Store Text > Store Pages. What are the values of
these images?

Have you asked the Lexiconn guys for help on this? They are really
quite good as you previously stated. ;-)

If you want to piece together all of the items necessary in an add to
cart form in your own product template so that you have better control
over all of the layout than provided by just the [--
PRODUCT.OrderCheckout --] tag, see the example in the following
documentation page:
http://www.shopsite.com/templates/examp ... tions.html

Re: Head scratcher. Why does my add-to-cart button have this

Postby Mister.44 » Tue Jan 10, 2006 2:58 pm

Holy Geez,

I have found the error. It was between the keyboard and the office chair..

I am such an IDIOT.

I noticed the different attributes. But I got confused which was which (the
dangers of working late, I guess). So when the site got transfered or at
some point, the order.gif image attributes were reset. So the attributes I
THOUGHT were new and screwing things up, were actually the OLD ones that
were working correctly.

I realized this while talking to Manny. I swear - get a tech around me and I
instantly figure out the issue. I plugged in the old attributes - and BANG
everything is perfect.

Sorry to take up your time.
