Frame settings for the Basket
The Basket Frame tab provides control over the Basket Frame.

The Basket Frame tab is activated by clicking on the 'Basket Frame' icon at the top of the tree view in the Basket Tab.

The Basket frame is the frame that runs along the bottom of your EROL store and provides a visual display area for all items placed in it by the user. It does this by condensing the product image of a product to a tiny thumbnail replica. Alternatively, if there is no product image, EROL inserts the Item Name into the basket.

It is not necessary to have a basket in your EROL store.


Setting the height of the Basket Frame
The size of the Basket Frame can be set in pixels. This will determine how high the Frame will be.

The height of the Basket frame can easily be controlled from the Basket Frame tab, by inserting the height, in pixels, into the 'Basket Frame Size' field.


Allowing and disallowing Basket frame scrolling
Alongside the 'Basket Frame Size' field on the Basket Frame tab you have the option of turning Frame Scrolling on or off. By default scrolling is turned off.

Checking 'Allow Frame Scrolling' will ensure that when a user has added more products to the basket than can be displayed across the screen, a scrollbar will appear allowing users to see their basket items that may not be visible.


Setting a background image or colour for your basket
The Basket frame can contain either a background image or a background colour. This ensures that the Basket Frame can maintain the same style and colouring as the rest of your store.

To set the background colour, select your preferred colour from the colour dropdown menu or the colour picker box. To add a background image to your Basket Frame, simply browse for and select your pre-designed background image.


Using Basket Cells
A Basket Cell is an optional coloured background cell for any product image visible in the Basket. Basket Cells are useful if your product images are largely the same colour as the background of your Basket frame.

The Basket Cell(s) will not be visible until a product has been added to the Basket.

To set the colour of the Basket Cell, select a colour and set an optional border width in pixels. There is no Basket Cell border by default.


Using text in place of a thumbnail product image in the basket
If you do not have a product image for a particular item, EROL will insert the Item Name when a product is added to the basket.

The size, face and colour of the text you wish to apply can be set using the dropdown menus under 'Alternative Basket Content'.


No Basket Frame
You can select not to have a Basket Frame at all by unchecking the 'Include Basket Frame' checkbox.

If you do not have a Basket Frame, 'Auto jump to Order Form' will automatically become active in Order Form Settings. This is to provide an essential clue to a shopper that the product has indeed been 'added to the basket' even though there is no basket to display their chosen product(s).

The shopper can easily return back to the store by clicking on the 'Continue Shopping' button on the Order Form.
