Post Cart installation 
I am in the process of setting up a cart and do not know where to start fixing my problems.
First I can get everything to work but! I do not think I am using the correct URL if I use http://advamind.com/shod/agora.cgi I can get to the site process an order add product etc. with the exception of the main page, contact, about us pages have a different format than the product pages the buttons do not have pictures.
So I was reading about linking to the page and thought I should change the URL to http://www.advamind.com/cig-bin/shopd/agora.cgi and move the .css file that screwed everything up cat find the page?
Where do I start Please?

You store appears to be installed at:
http://www.advamind.com/shopd/agora.cgi

That is the store URL that should be put in the "Store URL" of the manager -> Primary/Core Settings.
Each store URL may be different because of where on the server they have installed the script. URLs are relative to the location of the installation. It doesn't matter what URL may be specified for another person's site and the store could be installed in any directory you choose providing your web host allows it. Some web hosts only allow for installing to the cgi-bin which has special requirements. But, if your store was not installed in the cgi-bin, you don't have to worry about it.

Change the store URL to http://www.advamind.com/shopd/agora.cgi
and change the following from your store header:
Code:
<tr>
<td height=88></td>

<td width=990 height=88 colspan=1 rowspan=1 valign=top align=left>
<img width=990 height=88 border=0 src="html\images/Img 1001.JPG"></td>
</tr>

It is improper html as it does not have an opening and closing table tag for it and the image URL is incorrect.
Change to:
Code:

<table>
<tr>
<td width="990" valign="top">
<img width="990" height="88" border="0" src="html/images/Img1001.JPG"></td>
</tr>
</table>

BTW, you had 'Img 1001.JPG' for your image's file name. This is a 'no-no' ALL file names should NOT have ANY space in them. If you want a space, use an underscore.

Once you fix these things take a look and let us know how it goes.

HTH!

Post Cart Appearence 
Thank for helping clear up my misunderstanding of the cart location!

Next problem the main page doesn't look like the other pages. I like the way the product category pages look except for the company name I would like centered and the buttons do not show.

Thank you again for your paiciente assistance with me.
John

John,
Had you done an upgrade???
It looks like you have, which is why the front page looks screwy and the add to cart button doesn't show...
On the .html pages in the 'html' & 'html/pages' directory, that you use, you will need to add the following token just before the </head> tag:
%%head_info%%

In the productPage.inc file, you need to replace:
Code:
<!--BEGIN SELECT QUANTITY BUTTON-->
<TABLE>
<TR ALIGN="CENTER">
 <TD VALIGN="MIDDLE">%%QtyBox%%</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>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<!--END SELECT QUANTITY BUTTON-->


WITH:
Code:
<!--BEGIN SELECT QUANTITY BUTTON-->
<table class="ac_add-quantity"><tr><td class="ac_add-quantity">%%QtyBox%%</td>
<td class="ac_add-quantity"><input type="image" name="add_to_cart_button" value="Add To Cart" src="%%ButtonSetURL%%/add_to_cart.gif">
</td></tr></table>
<!--END SELECT QUANTITY BUTTON-->


Also, in the Primary/Core Settings manager, set "Self Serve Images" to NO.
In the "Store Design - CSS Editor" manager, set the very 1st setting to "0".

HTH!

Post Header fix 
Bonnie

Thank you for your quick accurate and needed information.
I changed the Items you noted the site is working well. After completion of these changes the products are now in one column I would like to have 3 columns. What did I change?

Thank you again!
John
