Basically I need to create static web pages on my website, including an About Us, Contact Us, Customer Service, etc. What I did was created the .html files absolute-linked them from the top nav, but when I upload them I obviously lose .asp features such as my ProductCart search box, etc.
How do I create static pages using .ASP so its part of the web page? if that makes sense
thanks

Setting > Manage Content Pages
Here's the WIKI link http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/productcart/settings-content-pages Make sure to run Setting > Generate Navigation when you are finished, so the pages show on your navigation. |

If you are making "standalone" pages of the root of your site (e.g, http://www.myweb.com/aboutus.asp), I recommend that you make a version of your head and footer files from the PC folder for in your root (some paths need to be edited). You can also just the ".asp" ending even if the file contains just HTML. No code to run, no foul. |

Thanks guys for the help -
EarlJ....I am using Static Absolute URLs for my Nav Links (mostly because I can't figure out the CSS code for the dynamic nav). Are there any serious drawbacks to using static Nav as long as I manully keep it updated?

Hi,
Using the static navigation has no real drawbacks. The only thing to remember is that you need to regenerate it when you add, remove or rename products/categories from your site. The dynamic navigatio, of course, takes care of that for you, but it does have a small performance hit as it accesses the database each time to build the navigation.

Just curious, what lines must I edit in the header/footer.asp if I want to put the header/footer and content page in the root folder?
I created the content page in Dreamweaver and saved it as About.asp Edited by BlackReefDesigns - 10-June-2008 at 12:50am |

You would need to edit the paths to include files mostly. I only include PC files when operating under the store/pc folder (I don't have the mini cart showing on the extra pages for example because we never got it to work).

Hi Joe,
Have you looked into the SEO yet? I believe if you use that there will be no advantage, if there is anyway, to moving the pages to the root, as they will appear to be there anyway. |
