Links - Adding to Storefront

Overview

This topic explains how to add an existing Link record to a theme so that it appears in your storefront along with other Links assigned to the same link section. As of verson 3.1.0, links assigned as "Primary Links" will automatically appear on your storefront page in a built in "Main Menu" Navigation Block.

For instructions on creating a link, see the Creating and Modifying topic in this section.

If your links aren't appearing on your storefront page, see the instructions for adding the code necessary to display links in your storefront, see the Displaying Links section of the Links - Overview topic.

Instructions

  1. Open your control panel
  2. Click the Themes menu link
  3. Click the record row for the theme you wish to modify. You can view your current theme and your store's default theme settings at the top of the table.
  4. If you opened a custom theme record and the Use Custom Links field shown in the image below is not checked, the theme is using the default Links configuration from the master squirrelcart theme. Check the Use Custom Links field, which will allow this theme to use it's own Links. If this field is already checked, continue to the next step.

    Alternatively, if you opened a custom theme record and the Use Custom Links field is not checked, you can open the Squirrelcart theme record instead.

  5. Locate the Links field set:


    The Available Links field on the left shows Links that are not assigned to this theme. The Selected Links field shows Links that are already assigned to this theme. They are grouped in link sections corresponding to purpose. The order they appear in in this field is the order that they will be shown in on your storefront page.
  6. Click the name of the Link record you want to add under Available Links to select it
  7. Click the right arrow button between the 2 fields to add the Link to the Selected Links field
  8. If you wish to change the position of the Link, click on it and then click the arrows to the right side of Selected Links to position it whereever you like.
  9. Repeat this process for each Link you wish to add
  10. Click Save Changes
