Cart Doesn't Work

I followed the eCart Getting Started instructions and nothing works.

The product images don't display as images (yes I have it set to "image" in eCart).

The "Add to Cart" button does nothing.

Link: products_eyes.com

I am not able to access the page at the link you provided, it keeps timing out.


send a copy of the pages a in a zip archive and a working link where i can see the problem in the browser to troubleshoot.

1) in ordder to show the product images on the product p[ages, you need to add an image tag:

php:
<p><?php echo $row_rsProducts['ProductThumb']; ?></p>

<p><?php echo $row_rsProducts['ProductImage']; ?></p>



should be:

php:
<p><img  src="path/to/images/<?php echo $row_rsProducts['ProductThumb']; ?>" /></p>

<p><img  src="path/to/images/<?php echo $row_rsProducts['ProductImage']; ?>" /></p>




where path/to/images/ is the path to the folder the image files are stored in.

2) in the add to cart behavior on the products_eyes.php you have set it to redirect to the cart.php page after adding the item.

3) on the cart.php page, add the following code at line 1:

php:
<?php

//WA eCart Include
require_once("WA_eCart/eCart1_PHP.php");
?>
<?php
$eCart1
->GetContent();
?>

Can you check my 2 files? It adds it to the cart but it's not going to the cart.php page after I add the product.

you need to edit the add to cart button behavior and set it to go to the cart.php page after adding the item.

How do I have a "View More" for all of the products so I can show a more detailed description of the product?

this is refereed to as a Master Detail Page set.


You can use the DataAssist to create this as a results and detail page


or you can create it manually, to create it manually, see the following from the Dreamweaver help:

Everything is working correctly now.

If I want to add options like "Colors" for certain products, how do I handle this? I'd like to do this like Powerstore does it where it only shows the options if it exists for a product.

Is there an easy way to do this?
