Introduction

All selections in the Shopping Cart configuration are OPTIONAL.  Your catalog will function without making any changes based on the system defaults. However, these selections give you greater control over how your shopping cart page will appear. 

The color selections you make on this page will override your selection in the Basic Appearance Configuration and the Global Information.

Buttons at the Top and Bottom of the Options Section

Use Defaults

If at anytime, while editing the settings on the category display, you want to go back to the basic settings that came with EZ-Catalog and forget about the changes you made, you can do so by clicking on the "Use Defaults" button located in the upper-left of the page. This button will reload all of the default settings that come with ALL of the different layouts. Please note that if you have been working with different layouts, and have made changes, that all of these changes will be changed to the defaults, even though the other layout settings are not visible. This button is located in the top-left and bottom-left of each section under EZCatalog Appearance. If you want to go back to your previous settins, use the "reset" button.

Previous and Next

If you want to go back to any of the sections under EZCatalog Appearance that are previous to the Category Display section you can use the "Prev" button, or if you want to just go ahead and skip over the Category Display section then use the "Next" button. Both of these buttons are located at the top-center and bottom-center of each section under EZCatalog Appearance.

Reset

If you want to undo all of the changes you have made since you last saved your work, click the reset button. This is different from the "Use Defaults" button because the "Reset" returns the values to what you had saved previously whereas the "Use Defaults" takes the values back to those that came with the selected layout. This button is located in the top-right and bottom-right of each section under the EZCatalog Appearance.

Preview Window

As you make selections, you can see the impact of the change in the preview window.  Click on the refresh icon  to see the change. Click on the enlarge icon  to see a preview in full screen.  The Preview features uses your configuration options such as header graphic and background colors but uses dummy data.  Note that the Preview window has its own scroll bars.

Highlighted Line Item Colors

If there is a error in your shopping cart, these are the colors that will appear in the error message.  These same colors will be used in the body of the shopping cart table to highlight the product that is in error.  Example: suppose someone placed an item in their shopping cart.  Shortly afterwards, you make that item inactive.  When the shopper updates their shopping cart, the item that is now inactive will be displayed using the Highlighted colors along with an error message in the same colors.  The next time they update their cart the items will be removed.
