Adding more product to inventory page

Tracie P · #1 09-02-2009, 12:11 AM

Hello,
Just checked the forums and couldn't find the answer, so here it goes.
I currently have 27 items on my Un-Conventional page, and it doesn't seem to want me to do more. I want to add more items to this page, without seperating the pages (ex: necklaces, earrings, ect).

I can't do a drop down menu from the Un-Conventional link, can I?

Ex: push Un-Conventional, then necklaces, earrings, ect, come up, then go to that page?

Thank you,
Tracie

you can only put a certain number of items on your page. what we did was create additional pages and a link at the bottom of page 1. to see what im talking about go here: let us know if you come up with a different way.

I see. So you just added another page, and just linked from your 1st page, and not your home page.
I like it(:
Great rings too by the way(;

I will let you know if I come up with another way, but that seems pretty logical and easy for the clients.

Wait, mrmagoo144, did you make your page off menu? I am wanting to begin to make my next page, but not sure where I put that information? If I create a new page and put on menu, it will show up on the home page.
If I create off menu, how will I know the URL to put as my link on my
Un-Conventional page?

actually you can get TWO products in each one of those boxes.. you dont have to create a new page

you can automatically link to the pages on your site, when you insert the link, and go into the properties.. it gives you the options of KNOWING the link

Sorry Karen,
I am not understanding the 2 products in a box. How would I do that? Shopping cart?

I am checking on part 2 now(:
Hopefully, I can figure that out!

Tracie P · #7 09-02-2009, 12:47 AM

sorry,
Is it when you add the new page? I am confused, sorry.
I will keep trying!

Tracie P · #8 09-02-2009, 12:50 AM

Ok, maybe this is it? I was at the main menu, then right clicked, and found this: http://www.loveitshop.com/sohoadmin/.../open_page.php
not sure if it is it b/c I am not sure how to fit the text on the bottom with all the products, so am going to delete a row from the page, then try it.

Tracie P · #9 09-02-2009, 12:54 AM

Ok, that didn't work!
It went to my menu on sohoadmin... don't think that is good(;
So, I removed that. I actually added a product to see, but all I saw was my menu.

Tracie P · #10 09-02-2009, 12:59 AM

This one, I got when I went into the actual page, so going to try it now.

Now, I keep trying to add text to the bottom of the page, that totally worked a minute ago, and now its not?
No really, I tried like 5 times in a row to get the text beack up there. I deleted 3 products from the page earlier, added the text, the link didn't work, so I removed it. Then, I got a different link, and tried to add the next link again, and it won't let me do anything!
Sorry about the run-ons.

Tracie P · #12 09-02-2009, 01:08 AM

Everytime I save, it disappears (the text). It is there before I save though (at the bottom of page).
It is so bazaar.

Karen Mac · #13 09-02-2009, 01:13 AM

you have to insert a text box .. then make the link

Karen

Tracie P · #14 09-02-2009, 01:16 AM

I was, I think. I went to the page: Un-Conventional. Pushed edit. Dragged text editor. Made text. Linked text. Saved. Then the text box completely disappears.

Karen Mac · #15 09-02-2009, 01:17 AM

is your site updated? have you cleared cache?

Karen

Tracie P · #16 09-02-2009, 01:20 AM

You mean push F5? Like refresh?

Tracie P · #17 09-02-2009, 01:23 AM

Sorry if I am not being clear(:
1st, not sure what the link is, so I am trying to test it. Earlier, you told me to push page properties, but not sure where?
2nd, trying to test the page with the link: http://www.loveitshop.com/index.php?pr=Un-Conventional

however, everytime I try to put up text, it won't let me, even though I did it earlier.

Ah!

Karen Mac · #19 09-02-2009, 01:27 AM

No i didnt tell you to push page properties.. i said LINK properties.

When you hilite the text and click the link ICON you have options for displaying the link.. one of them is to pages on your site.

i made the page off menu. why would i need to have page 2 of an item show on menu. the visitor is only going to the main page of the item such as animals. then i made my link with either text or an image.

not sure why i would want 2 different pictures in one box. i don't think the pictures are big enough as is. karen, can you show me a page where 2 pictures are in one box?

Tracie P · #21 09-02-2009, 01:41 AM

Oh my... I am having such difficulties!
If I knew the link, I could do that, right? I don't know the link.
I am trying to make a new page, off the Home page menu.
I want it on the Un-Conventional page.
As "Next" with a link to my new page "Un-Conventional 2," which I have yet to make, with new products. I am 1st, not sure whether to make it on menu, or off. I am assuming off, b/c I don't want it on the "home" page.
However, I am not sure how to take that "off menu" page, and put it on my Un-Conventional page.

mrmagoo144 · #22 09-02-2009, 01:52 AM

ok here it goes:
what you will have to do on your first page is leave the lower row blank for your link, so move the last 3 items on your first page to the 2nd page and use the lower row for your text or image link so that your visitor can go to page 2.
1. create your new page off menu
2. call it Un-Conventional 2
3. now go to edit your page
4. insert your product through your shopping cart - * what i did here is i left the top row for my header as i have a header on each page. for page one of animals the header is "Animals 1" and the header for the 2nd page is "nimals 2."
5. when you are finished with your inserting of products on page 2 create another text or image link on that page so the visitor can go back to page 1 if they wish. if they want to go elsewhere they can use the nav. menu.
6. what i find a little confusing is that you do not have a navigation menu on each page. why is that? not saying it is wrong, just curious. if you need to have some one on one you can call me through my website.

hope you get it.

Tracie P · #23 09-02-2009, 02:00 AM

I have done everything, except for #5.

My question is what is the link to get to that mysterious Page 2 from page 1?!

I need to link one to 2.

mrmagoo144 · #24 09-02-2009, 02:05 AM

well once you create the new page Un-Conventional 2 and then you have your text on the page. in your case i saw "next page" you highlight this and then click on the link icon. a box comes up and you can use the site page to link to. hope i explained this correctly.

Karen Mac · #25 09-02-2009, 02:06 AM

Magoo do you mean products? because thats what i said.. two products in one box! They will show the same size.

And actually it doesnt matter as you can drag a SECOND OBJECT no matter what it is .. in those boxes

Karen

mrmagoo144 · #26 09-02-2009, 02:10 AM

great can you show me a site that has this so i can see if this something i would like to do as i can not envision what you mean. remember "can't see very well you know"
as always, thanks

Tracie P · #27 09-02-2009, 02:11 AM

mrmagoo144, thank you!
That was the answer to my question... yeah!
I am soooo happy(:
Thank you!
Now before I get too happy, I am going to see if that works.
I already did it, but need to check it out(;

mrmagoo144 · #28 09-02-2009, 02:21 AM

glad you have it figured out. good luck - let us know if it doesnt work.

Just drag one of your objects into another box and look for yourself. SHOW YOURSELF.
