Howdy-
On my shop I have two items on my Menu: Home and Shop Home.
Is there anyway to rename "Home" to something else, like "Back to Website"?
-Mike

Yes, go to your pages and on the right you will see a list of your pages with an option to edit.

Close but, no cigar. I know I can rename the "Shop Home" button in the pages area, but I want to rename the "Home" button that links back to my website and it doesn't appear in the pages area. And I can't find anywhere to change it.
-Mike

Under shop tools, select the pages option. Go down to the bottom, and it lets you set the url to link to whatever domain you want it to. If you want to both rename and provide a new url, then select the second option, which will make the "home" link not show up.

After this go to your pages option and create a new page with the new name and url you want to use.

Did this answer your question?

Maybe I'm dense. I go to the Shop Settings and select "Use Pages tool and enter my own content."
The "Home" button disappears, as you said.
I go to the Pages area and create a page called "Return To Website" to and that button will appear on the menu.
However, there seems to be no way to link the "Return To Website" button up to take the user out of the cart and to my website. I can add a link on the "Return To Website" page that the user can click, but what I want to do is have them click on the "Return To Website" button and be taken directly to the linked site... like it works when there is a "Home" button that the user clicks on and goes to the link established.

Probably, my explanation is clear as mud. Basically, again, I want to rename the "Home" button something else and have it take my user to a website.

-Mike

I apologize that I may not be understanding you correctly.

Is this correct:

You want a user to click on some link, which will then take that user to another website. However, you also want their cart to be cleared upon leaving your store.

If this scenario is not correct, please explain the specific situation such as:

I want x link to go to x location so that x, x, and x happen.


Thanks

This is the link to the Shopping Cart I am putting together:
http://www.avi-ed.com/AviCart/index.php

On the menu on the left you'll see the buttons- HOME & SHOP HOME
If you click on HOME you are taken to a website, away from the shopping cart.
If you click on SHOP HOME anywhere in the cart you are taken to the main page (front) of the cart.

I want to rename the HOME button to FRED and still have it directly operate as a link to take a user to a website...out of the shopping cart.

If I add a page/Button named FRED, when the user clicks on FRED it will open the FRED page, but will not take them out of the cart and to another website. I can place a link on the FRED page to take them to the website, but that is a 2 step process for the user. And 1 step is better than 2.

Is that clearer?
-Mike

Ok, I think I got it.

Try this:



Put this code on the page you name fred. Replace the url with the page you want them to be taken to.

This will produce a page that forwards them to the new fred page after 5 seconds. you may want to place that disclaimer on the page:

"You will be redirected to: X in 5 seconds."


The other option is to setup a page forward through your control panel. Do you have access to your server through a cPanel? Go to page forwarding options.

Let me know if this information is helpful, and if you get it working.

Mike,
I too wanted to designate where the link in "Home" went to but also wanted to rename "Home" to something else. This is what I did.
1. Under the main menu option Your Shop....Pages tab...Homepage section, select the second option, "Use pages tool and enter my own content", then OK
2. Under the main menu option Pages...Basic Info tab (to the far right of the screen)...Pages and Menus, select the newly created "Home", and then click on the Edit Page icon. Rename the "Home" page and then OK.
3. In your HTML editor (and I use the most excellent CoffeeCup HTML Editor :-), create a php page with the following content:

<?php
header( 'Location: http://www.Whatever_URL_you_Need' ) ;
?>

...and name this "home.php"
4. FTP the newly created "home.php" to the root folder of your shop, replacing the "home.php" already there.

Now when you click on your renamed "Home" link in your shop, the URL in your new "home.php" will load. The only caveat to this is each time you publish your shop, you need to upload your customized "home.php" page but this will give you a work around...
Hope this helps,

Hey all,
I just Published my cart several times and it appears that as long as you don't make changes to your renamed "Home" page, Shopping Cart Creator Pro "remembers" that there were no changes and does not overwrite your page.

Yay!
