Post product view 
Hello, I have three questions. I would like to know how i can have the view when viewing my product pages one cell per product instead of two for example http://www.undergroundcards.us/cgi-bin/store/agora.cgi?cart_id=3472775.13593*OR8hV6&xm=on&product=GiantPezDispensers i would like to have a single product per line. is that possible? also can i edit the product view to have it some what like my current HTML pages which are located www.undergroundcards.us/pez.html. when i click on the image i get more details and I'm able to get a bigger image. last question, is there a way to have discount codes for some customers not everyone?

David,
AgoraCart is extremely versatile & customizable.
You can handle the layout of products with the various productPage.inc files found in the html/html-templates directory of the store.
There are many layouts and there are a couple that will meet your needs for both a single product per line and a details page.

To set up meta tags, javascript & CSS follow the instructions in the following thread:

David,
You've got things set up wrong.
This variable: $sc_standard_body_info
Is for the body tag info and ONLY the body tag info, like so:
Code:
$sc_standard_body_info = qq~ link="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" vlink="green" text="#000000" background="mybackgroundimage.jpg" ~;


Your code for meta tags, javascript & CSS all go in the variable: $sc_standard_head_info
It should be like this:
Code:

$sc_standard_head_info = q~ <title>Trading Cards from Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, Marvel and DC VS System to Giant Pez Dispensers</title>

One more question. how can i have my product image call for a bigger image and a different description? i appreciate you help hope full i can bug you once more if i cant figure out the productPage.inc.

That would be handled in the productPage.inc file. You can work in a link to a diiferent ppinc page that displays the product detail.

HTH!

I was able to figure out some problems for now until i get tired of the look. on last question. how do i make a search form. i created a search form but cant seem to make it work. I have
Code:
form METHOD="POST" $sc_store_url"; &uncapture_STDOUT; } action="%20%3C!--agorascript-post%20{%20&capture_STDOUT;%20print%20">
               <input TYPE="hidden" NAME="cart_id" VALUE="%%cart_id%%">
               <input TYPE="text" NAME="keywords" SIZE="20" MAXLENGTH="40">
               <input TYPE="hidden" NAME="ppinc" VALUE="search">
               <input TYPE="hidden" NAME="exact_match" VALUE="on">
               <input TYPE="submit" NAME="search_request_button" VALUE=" Search "></form>


Can you help me with that?

All you really need is:
Code:

<form METHOD="POST"  action="agora.cgi">
               <input TYPE="hidden" NAME="cart_id" VALUE="%%cart_id%%">
               <input TYPE="text" NAME="keywords" SIZE="20" MAXLENGTH="40">
               <input TYPE="hidden" NAME="ppinc" VALUE="search">
               <input TYPE="hidden" NAME="exact_match" VALUE="on">
               <input TYPE="submit" NAME="search_request_button" VALUE=" Search "></form>


No need to make things more complicated than they need to be...

HTH!

Hello Again, I am having problem with one of my productPage-search.inc
I edited the file and everything looks good except I cant add to cart and the "Show This Category" links are not working. every time i click on them i get a forbidden message the code that i have for the page is
Code:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
</head>

<table border="0" width="100%" id="table1" height="103">
   <tr>
      <td>
      <p><b>%%name%%</b></p>
      <table border="0" width="100%" id="table3">
         <tr>
            <td width="153">%%image%%</td>
            <td>%%description%%</td>
         </tr>
      </table>
      <table border="0" width="100%" id="table2">
         <tr>
            <td width="186"><font color="#CC0000">Sale Price: <b>%%price%%</b></font></td>
            <td width="198">
            <form method="POST" action="%25%25scriptURL%25%25">
               <p>
               <!--BEGIN SELECT QUANTITY BUTTON-->
<TABLE id="table3">
<TR ALIGN="CENTER">
 <TD VALIGN="MIDDLE"><INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="%%itemID%%" SIZE="3"
 MAXLENGTH="3" VALUE="1"></TD><TD VALIGN="MIDDLE"><INPUT TYPE="IMAGE"
 NAME="add_to_cart_button" VALUE="Add To Cart"
 SRC="%%URLofImages%%/add_to_cart.gif" BORDER="0">
 </TD>
</TABLE>
<!--END SELECT QUANTITY BUTTON--></p>
            </form>
            </td>
            <td width="141"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">
            <a href="%25%25scripturl%25%25?cart_id=&p=%ÊtegoryID%%">
<FONT FACE=ARIAL>Show This</FONT>
Category</a></td>
            <td><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">

<A HREF="%%scripturl%%?dc=1&%%href_fields%%">
<FONT FACE=ARIAL>Check Out</FONT></A></td>
         </tr>
      </table>
      <FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">
<HR>
      </font>
      </td>
   </tr>
</table>


One other thing how can I have on the <title> something like "Search results and search keyword"
Thank you

David,
There is a problem with perhaps whatever you are using to edit the files.
What are you using?
Whatever it is has been replaced the percent signs in a few areas which will cause things not to work.
In particular, the foillowing lines:
<form method="POST" action="%25%25scriptURL%25%25">

and

<a href="%25%25scripturl%25%25?cart_id=&p=%ÊtegoryID%%">

They should be:
<form method="POST" action="%%scriptURL%%">

and

<a href="%%scripturl%%?cart_id=&p=%%CategoryID%%">

HTH!

I did noticed that but i wasn't sure if it was part of the code. I am using frontpage to edit the look since I am not that great in editing the code. They work now with the exception the add to cart link, when i click the add to cart button it adds the item but after id does it doesn't take me back to the results page or product page. what it does is it shows every item that i have in my database. Not just the Category that i was currently on but all the Categories. why is that? thanks
David

Well, dislike kinda sorta maybe to say this, but you can't use FrontPage to edit anything in AgoraCart.
It tends to do exactly what you are seeing, replace code it shouldn't be messing with.
You will need to edit the files in a plain html editor.

HTH!
