I have searched the forums for a while and I don't see anything that directly answers this question.

Option 1) How can I add a link to my Shop Menu rather than a page? i.e. I want a Contact Us but rather than going to a contact us page inside of CCPro it goes to my existing contact us page.

Option 2) how can I make it APPEAR to go directly to that page without the customer having to click on Contact Us a second time or some security setting blocking the redirect on the client side?

Option 3) how can I create a contact us link that would appear on all pages in an obvious location? I have Designer Pro as well... is there a way to hit this with a different hammer?

Option 4) how can I make $10M so I don't care about the contact us link anymore?


Thanks,

#1) That is really a loaded question. It depends on what program you are using to create the link with. You can link to any page on your shop you like. Just navigate to the page in your shop that you want to use, copy that URL and then use that as your link.

#2) Pretty much relates to #1

#3) You would have to use the HTML Tool and paste in the appropriate code on every product detail page.

#4) Send me a check for $100.00 and I will give you step by step instructions.

If I understand, I think you understood me backwards... or something llike that.

I can't figure out how to apply your solution to create a link to another page in my site FROM CCPro.

I want a link to an external page in my Shop Menu, not a page in my shop.

In my Shop Menu I may have:
Home
My Shop Home
Policies
Learn More
Contact Us
View Cart
etc...

When they click on Home they jump to my main website using the URL I entered in shop setup.

The Policies, Learn More pages were added inside of CCP using the Pages feature.

HOWEVER, I don't want Contact Us to go to a page created using CCP, I want it to jump to http://myweb.com/contactus.html

Does that make the mud any clearer?

Ahh, OK. I do understand you now. Unfortunately that is not a feature in the software. I know we have discussed it internally, but for now the idea is just sitting on a wish list pile until we wrap up a few other items.

Hiya Robert,

What many of us do is create our external menus on our external pages to include all the pages there are on our sites, and for the Shop pages the Home page is linked to the external home page rather than an internal one built in SCCP. This way when someone presses the Home button it takes them to the external home page (no need for a home page built in the SCCP program then), and all the menu buttons and links are there. The only main drawback to this is that when they go to the Shop Home page (or whatever you happen to call yours), it goes to the Shop and the menu then has only those on the menu within the SCCP program and doesn't have them all. You can see what I mean by visiting my shop site at http://accessoriesoftheworld.com .

The pages that are externally made within the HTML Editor don't show in my shop menu:
Home, Referrals, About Us, Contact Us

The rest are the pages of the SCCP program:
Shop Home, Products (Categories) and View Cart

Hi,

try this

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html">

A solution to the problem being discussed, would be to place links to pages such as ;

Contact Us
Policies
Delivery terms
Privacy
Leave Comments etc

In the footer of your shop,

e.g in shopping cart creator e.g add the following lines to the footer;

<div class="scs_flat_navmenu">
<a href="../comment/index.php">News</a>&#160;|&#160;
<a href="../comment/?page_id=35">Leave a Comment</a>&#160;|&#160; <a href="../confetti2010prices.pdf">Download Confetti Price List</a>&#160;|&#160;

</div>

for this example see test site at devonpetals.com/shopoptionpro1201/


Note: div class = "scs_flat_navmenu is already part of the CSS file associated with the theme used, so no messing about with CSS files.

The down side is that these particular pages, will not appear in the main navigation menu of the shop, however this may not be a problem for those pages which cover such things as policies, terms and conditions etc.
