The buy buttons will show up on my site, but wont in the catalog. I dont know if it s something I did or what. Here is the link:

http://agkits.com/browseproducts/Allis-Cha...bine-Belts.HTML

Here is what the code looks like for one of the buy buttons. It looks the same for the rest aside from the fact the link is different for each one:

CODE
<div align="center"><a href="http://www.agkits.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1018"><img src="Themes/button_themes/SpeedBump_Red/buy.gif" border=0></a></div>


Can someone help me figure out what the deal is with these darn buy buttons. Im goin crazy.

Gee, I just looked at your page the other day and it looked so great and yes, all your buy buttons were in the last column. Been playing around with it, huh? whoa.gif

CODE
<tr>
   <td><div align="center"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">8</font></div></td>
   <td><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">71117540</font></td>
   <td><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Main Drive</font></td>
   <td><div align="center"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">A
       (s/n 14053-30000)</font></div></td>
   <td><div align="center"><a href="http://www.agkits.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1020"><img src="Themes/button_themes/SpeedBump_Red/buy.gif" border=0></a></div></td>
 </tr>


This may be way off--keep in mind I'm pretty new at this

But isn't there a conflict using the buy button to take you to a product page. I thought you could only use it to add an item to your cart?

I'm probably talking thru my hat--by the way I don't really want the Allis Chalmers combine belt I put in my cart--it wouldn't fit on my Subaru! tongue.gif

Hello -

The product pages of the SEO catalog are not designed to include an actual Buy button for the product. You will, however, see 2 links along with each product in the SEO catalog....

Buy Product Online - this link will take you to that product's page in your shopping cart.

Vist Store Home - this link will take you to the home page of your site.

Hope this helps!

Brad,

They are not actual buy buttons though. They are just links to take you to the product. Technically they aren't used as a buy button. They take you to a different product. Is there any sort of work around, keeping the same table?

Would it make a difference if I changed the buy.gif? Maybe to a text link? or even to a different picture? Any info would be appreciated

Here is the problem from what I can tell. On your product pages, such as -
http://agkits.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=799
- you have the images referenced in the long description of the products like this -
CODE
<img src="Themes/button_themes/SpeedBump_Red/buy.gif" border=0>

However, since the files that the catalog generates are in the /browseproducts/ folder off of the root directory, the image path becomes -
CODE
browseproducts/Themes/button_themes/SpeedBump_Red/buy.gif

If your right-click on the buy buttons in the catalog and choose properties, you will see this is where they load from. In order to fix this, before your catalog regenerates the next time, you will want to edit the long description HTML from the above to the following absolute reference -
CODE
<img src="http://agkits.com/Themes/button_themes/SpeedBump_Red/buy.gif" border=0>

- and then you should be good to go. I hope that helps!

Thanks James. I'll give it a try.
