Page Links on More Info Pages

Postby Brandon Eley » Tue Sep 07, 2004 12:15 pm

I've created custom page and product templates for a website but am
having a hard time getting the shopsite-generated page links on the
product more-info pages.

Is this even possible? I put the page template custom fields for

[-- LOOP LINKS --]
[-- LINK --]
[-- END_LOOP LINKS --]

And it jsut returned an error when creating the more info pages. Any
ideas? I used the page links so that my client can edit the links and
add new pages themselves... but it seems to not work on more-info pages.

Thanks,

LOOP LINKS will not work on More Info Page sections of a custom product
template, specifically because products do not have pages assigned to
them. Only pages have other pages assigned to them.

As Loren mentioned pages aren't assigned to moreinfo pages so the links
can't be generated directly. There have been some merchants who have
found a way around this. First they created a custom page template that
creates a page of just links. They create a page with the appropriate
links assigned to it. In the custom template they use an "include" to
place that information into the moreinfo page. You would need to create
a symlink in the include directory that points to the page containing
the links so it can be included. This takes a little work to setup but
would be possible to do.

I use PHP in all my pages and can easily include a file in the more info
pages. I'll give that a try and see how it works.

Thanks!,
