This module builds catalog as a single page containing all products. You
will need the product input files in a text file as in the example file, products.txt,
included with the program.
There are three formats to create
the single page catalog:
- Table
Format - Each product will occupy one row of four
columns in a table. Title, short description, a thumbnail image and one
property selection are allowed. Uses Javascript functions to add the
product to an local display area from where an "Add to Cart"
button adds to the shopping cart. This format is useful if there are
several products with short descriptions.
- Plain
Page - The product is laid out in a
descriptive form. Title, long description, a thumbnail image and multiple
property selection are allowed. An "Add to Cart" button will add
directly to the shopping cart. Useful for less number of products with
long descriptions and multiple property selections.
- Dropdown
List - The product is in a dropdown list form.
Only a title is allowed. Uses Javascript functions to add the product to
an local display area from where an "Add to Cart" button adds to
the shopping cart. This format is useful if there are large number of
products with no descriptions.
