catalog.htm:
The catalog.htm page is really just a
regular HTML page, designed with a layout that is common to
most online stores. Modifying the default information,
replacing the product image is all that is really required.
The shopping cart function does require a bit of additional
software, as well as a PayPal account.
The additional software is a FREE addon for FrontPage.
Download the free addon from the link below:
1-2-3 PayPal Website Payments for Microsoft FrontPage
Follow the installation instructions listed on the download
page, and restart FrontPage / Expression Web Developer.
The catalog layout provides one sample cart button, while
the remaining product tables display text reading ‘add to
cart’.
Quick steps:
Replace the default product information with your own
information
Replace the image with your own image. The replacement image
should be resized for best results. Resize your product
image to the following dimensions:
150 pixels wide
120 pixel high
Place your cursor into the cell labeled ‘add to cart’ and
delete this text
KEEP your cursor in this cell, then CLICK on the INSERT menu
located at the top of FrontPage
Click on ‘PayPal Purchase Button Wizard’ to activate the
addon
Following the directions provided on the download page,
enter your product information, email address and anything
else required for your shopping cart.
Click on insert HTML at the end of the wizard, and the Add
to Cart button, along with the product information will be
added to your catalog page.
You can delete the text that the wizard placed on your page,
or move it to another location if you’ve already entered
your own product name, sku and descriptions.
You can leave the wizard open, and just place your cursor
into the next products ‘add to cart’ cell, repeating the
process.
**tip, by clicking the ‘Previous’ button on the PayPal
wizard, you can jump back to step 3, change the information,
the click Next until step 5. This way you don’t need to shut
down the wizard, and you can skips steps 1 and 2 for each
new product.
