Summary
This QuickGuide will show you how to launch your HTML catalog.
Previewing your Design
Preview your SEO Catalog design using the “Preview Index Page” and “Preview
Product Page” buttons found within the “Customize SEO Catalog” options shown in page one.
Catalog Generator Rules
The following rules are applied to the creation of your online catalog
generator:
- Top of Page
- If you have any content within the SEO
Catalog Top of Page Editor, this will override other options within your HTML editors. Otherwise, your default logo image will be used.
- Manufacturer
- If you hide your manufacturers within your Site Wide Settings, this
information will be hidden within your catalog.
- Product Columns
- The number of columns set within your Site Wide Settings will carry
over into your catalog.
- Currency Symbol
- This will show the correct Currency Symbol set within Settings >> Site Wide Settings >> System Options tab.
- Product Price
- The price is pulled from your Customer Price within your Product Editor.
- Store Front Main Table Size
- The main table width, set within Layout >>
Site Wide Color & Font Options >> Site Borders & Misc.,
will set the width of your main table in your catalog pages.
- Page Alignment
- The page alignment, set within Layout >>
Site Wide Color & Font Options >> Site Borders & Misc.,
will set your alignment.
After you select your plan, click the button to generate your SEO Catalog. You will
then be taken to a page that provides the necessary HTML to insert within any of your
Custom HTML Editors (preferably the Bottom of Page HTML Editor). Simply copy and paste
the HTML code into your selected HTML Editor and hit Update. Test your new catalog by
clicking on your new link within the storefront and you are all set!
