Template Installation

Sample templates are included.

The templates must be named and located as follows:

catalogue.html – used only in the catalogue pages and located in the ashop root directory

cart.html – used only by the basket and checkout pages and located in the ashop root directory

delivery.html – used only in the customer login and product delivery pages and located in the ashop root directory

Note: Many payment gateways host your payment confirmation page, which is the delivery.html template and dynamically generated content, through a secure server. URL's in delivery.html must be absolute for links to work and for images to appear correctly. Use a secure link to images so that browser secure/non-secure content messages will not appear before customers open the page.

affiliate/template.html – This template is only used with the affiliate signup, login, and support pages.

template.html – used only in the affiliate support sign up, login, and stats pages, located in the ashop/affiliate directory

The AShop templates are simply HTML pages with the AShop start and stop tags inserted where the AShop content is to appear. They can include HTML, images, links, CSS, and JavaScript just like any other web page. If you are using a WYSIWYG HTML editor such as Dreamweaver, you can add the AShop script folders to your website and create the AShop templates just as you would any other page within your website. You can even use the "Create New Page From Template" feature and update the AShop template pages along with other pages that are attached to the Dreamweaver Templates.

Insert the AShop start and stop tags in the page template where you want the AShop dynamically generated contents to appear.

Place these two HTML tags in the body of the page:

<!-- AShopstart --> <!-- AShopend -->
