Detail Page

Overview

Squirrelcart allows you to provide detailed information about options using a popup detail page. This allows the customer to see a description of the option, along with images of the choices.

Enabling the Detail Page
  1. Open the Option record you wish to work with
  2. Check the Show Detail Page field. A new section will appear:
  3. Fill out the fields in this section, using the field explanations below as a guide.

    Page Size
    When set to default, the detail page will open in a full sized window. When set to custom, it will open using the dimensions you specify below.

    Page Width
    This only appears when Page Size is set to custom. It controls the width of the detail page window.

    Page Height
    This only appears when Page Size is set to custom. It controls the height of the detail page window.

    Links
    This controls how the link(s) to the detail page will appear. When Instruction is checked, the instruction for the option (i.e., Choose Size:) is shown as a link to the detail page. When the magnifying glass image is checked, that image will appear as a link to the detail page. When custom is checked, the text in the Custom Link Text field is shown as a link to the detail page.

    Custom Link Text
    If custom is checked for the Links field, the text in this field is used for that custom link.

    Link Placement
    This controls where the magnifying glass and custom link appear in relation to the instruction, or the option field itself.

    Show Tooltip
    This field only appears when tooltips are enabled on your Visual Settings page. When checked, a tooltip will be shown when the detail page link is moused over.

    Tooltip Text
    This field works in conjunction with the Show Tooltip field above it, and controls the text shown in the tooltip.

    Page Content
    This controls how the page content will be generated. If set to autogenerate Squirrelcart will generate the content based on information specified on the option (and choice) records. If set to custom URL, a field will appear to enter the URL of a page containing information about this option.

    Choices Per Row
    This field only appears when the option type supports choices (Select and Radio Button options). It controls how many choices will be shown before breaking to a new line.
  4. Be sure to specify a description for this option. It will be shown on the detail page
  5. If you wish, specify images for the image fields. They will be shown on the detail page
  6. Click Save Changes
  7. If the option has choices (Select and Radio), provide as much info as you can on the Choice records. That information is also used on the detail page.
