Post Want to use HTML - not database 
Hi:
How do I use the Agoracart with out using the product database. I have my pages laid out the way I want in html with product option and size options and qty options and a 'buynow' button but now what?

In the past I have used a form that goes off and sends the order to the shopping cart. Can I do this with Agora? And, if so, can you give me an example URL where it is implemented so I can have a look at what they've done to get it going.

For example, I've used this concept in www.fatz.com and would like to do this again as I'm migrating a site over that has used it. So all I'd need to do is change the option values and the script names etc.

Thanks
Liz

Liz,
It looks like you are wanting to use "add to cart/buy now" buttons...
Please check out that area of the forum for coding instructions for those.

Post What about colour option? 
How do I handle a product that can be purchased in different colours.
I'm looking at your code

FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="http://www.domain.com/store/agora.cgi">
<INPUT TYPE = "hidden" NAME = "page" VALUE = "yourpage.html">
Qty:<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="item-productID|Category|5.50|Name of Product||weight/shipping_cost" SIZE="3" MAXLENGTH="4">
<INPUT TYPE="IMAGE" NAME="add_to_cart_button" VALUE="Add To Cart" SRC="http://www.doamin.com/store/agora.cgi?picserve=add_to_cart.gif" BORDER="0">
</form>

But don't see any option for the a colour field, (or a second color field (in my case 'trim)). I see price, item-productID, category, name of product, weight/shipping_cost. How would you handle colour. The site I'm migrating to agoracart (customer changed webhosters) is found at http://www.tracywools.com/merino-wool-throws-cushions.htm
Many thanks

Liz,
You will need to add the options information to that "form" code.
This thread should help you form those options:
http://www.agoraguide.com/faq/viewtopic.php?t=2116

Just remember to replace the %%PRODUCT_ID%% token with you productID number.

HTH!

Post Not sure where My reply went 
Hi:
I've had my first attempt and have got stuck ...
The price and options aren't being passed through to the shopping cart, in fact nothing is being passed through to the shopping cart.

www.pelage.co.nz/tws-cashmere-wool-wraps.htm

I did post this reply but don't know where it went so am trying again. Sorry.
thanx
Liz

Liz,
Here is the problematic line that isn't allowing anything to be added to the cart:
Code:
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="cashmereWrap|Cashmere|385.50|Cashmere Wrap||0" SIZE="3" MAXLENGTH="4">


It needs to be:
Code:
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="item-cashmereWrap|Cashmere|385.50|Cashmere Wrap||0" SIZE="3" MAXLENGTH="4">


Also, you have some problems with this area:
Code:
       <SELECT NAME = "option|001|%%Cashmere_01%%">
             <option value="select colour" selected>select colour</option>
            <option value="vanilla">vanilla</option>
            <option value="lilac">lilac</option>
            <option value="rose">rose</option>
            <option value="magenta">magenta</option>
            <option value="grey">grey</option>
            <option value="silver">silver</option>
            <option value="mint">mint </option>
            <option value="sky">sky</option>
            <option value="lake">lake</option>
            <option value="black">black</option>
         </select>


It needs to be:
Code:
       <SELECT NAME = "option|001|cashmereWrap">
             <option value="|" selected>select colour</option>
            <option value="vanilla|">vanilla</option>
            <option value="lilac|">lilac</option>
            <option value="rose|">rose</option>
            <option value="magenta|">magenta</option>
            <option value="grey|">grey</option>
            <option value="silver|">silver</option>
            <option value="mint|">mint </option>
            <option value="sky|">sky</option>
            <option value="lake|">lake</option>
            <option value="black|">black</option>
         </select>


I don't know why you have the following code on the page, but it should be removed:
Code:
        <input type="hidden" name="price" value="385.00">
         <select name="qty" size="1">
            <option value="1" selected>1</option>
            <option value="2">2</option>

            <option value="3">3</option>
            <option value="4">4</option>
            <option value="5">5</option>
            <option value="6">6</option>
         </select>


HTH!
