Help with Website NEEDED!

[YooperCandles]

I am currently adding a shopping cart to my tripod (lycos) website using mals e-commerce. I have figured out how to do a link for one item, but I would like a drop-down with my scents.

For example: Here is what is says to do -

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://www.aitsafe.com/cf/add.cfm">

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="userid" VALUE="gg12345">

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="product" VALUE="North Atlantic Marine Chart">

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="price" VALUE="29.50">

<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT"> </FORM>

I dont understand exactly what I am supposed to type to make the link. My product will be a 3-Pack of Votives for $3.00. I know my username also, but dont know what to do with this as a whole.

It said to cut and paste the link I made with the button maker through mals ecommerce, but when I did cut and paste I got an error message.

Can someone help me PLEASE!

TIA for all help! -Pam

Taking a stab at this, but copy this and see if it works:

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://www.aitsafe.com/cf/add.cfm">

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="userid" VALUE="gg12345">

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="product" VALUE="3-pack Votives">

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="price" VALUE="3.00">

<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT"> </FORM>

1. The form method should be where your shopping cart is set up at, for instance, mine is 9.

2. Enter your userid given to you by mals.

3. Units would be your price.

4. Product would be, well product

<form method="post" action="http://ww9.aitsafe.com/cf/add.cfm">

<input type="hidden" name="userid" value="A123456">

<input type="hidden" name="units" value="3">

<input type="hidden" name="product[]" value="3-pack Votives">

I now understand most of adding drop-down menus to my shopping cart, but dont understand how to put the scents in. I know they are in 7-12, but how do I insert them so they show as a list? I am so confused.

Thank you for all the previous help and any additional help.

Pam, I just went to your site, and looked at the votives you are trying to add. The problem I'm seeing is that when you click on "3-pack votives~$3.00" instead of it being a link to another page (which it looks like), you made that your shopping cart button. If you are trying to have your drop down menus below that, you should make the headings only be text, not links to the shopping cart. Add in the code, like Tara has provided, underneath your headings. That should give you the heading, then the drop down, customers can select the scent and submit, and it should add it to your cart which will look something like, "3-pack votives, Strawberry."

In the tutorial, it may show as lines 7-9, but you just keep adding them as you have more. As you can see, Tara offers many scents, she just kept continuing on and changing the scents.

I hope that made sense and it helps. Good luck!

Well, with all your help and many frustrating hours of tinkering, I got the dropdown menus to work. Woooooohoooooo! Thank You Thank You!!

Now I have a new obstacle........lol

I offer my jar candles at a discount if they buy 3 at a time, but they dont have to be the same scent. How do I add that onto the website.

BTW, it was tara's post that i copied and pasted into HTML and just changed the info to mine!

Thanks again for your help in the past, and I hope you will be able to help with this problem!

I am glad I can help ya To offer 3 for a certain price you would just need to have 3 scent drop down boxes

you could use this code

<form action="http://ww9.aitsafe.com/cf/add.cfm" method="post">

<input type="hidden" value="B123145" name="userid">

<input type="hidden" value="www.tarascandlecottage.com/layered_candles.html" name="return">

<input type="hidden" value="Buy 3or whatever you want to name this item" name="product[]">

<input type="hidden" value="19.95" name="price"><select name="product[]">

<option value="Select Scent" selected="selected">Select Scent #1</option>

<option value="Select Scent">Select Scent</option>

<option value="Angel Kisses">Angel Kisses</option>

<option value="Apple Cinnamon">Apple Cinnamon</option

List all the scents for scent one then end it with </select>

Then do

<option value="Select Scent" selected="selected">Select Scent#2</option>

<option value="Select Scent">Select Scent</option>

<option value="Angel Kisses">Angel Kisses</option>

<option value="Apple Cinnamon">Apple Cinnamon</option>

Again list all your scents end with </select>

Then do same for sent 3 and end it all with

<input type="submit" value="Add to Cart" name="SUBMIT"></form>

That's how I do my layered candles so I would think it would work for what you are needing

Let me know how you make out
