Couple of questions

[blahblahblah]

Hi,

Just going through your demo etc to see whether SC will be suitable for our needs:

1. Is there an affiliate program able to be set up with it?

2. Is it possible to replace the plain text box used for entering an item's description with a wysiwig html editor text box?

3. Can you add a 'buy now' link on the short description product listing page?

4. Is it possible to create new fields through the administration section (I couldn't find anything), ie to create for example a new field called 'original price', another called 'your saving' etc, and add these to the product detail page?

Hi,

Welcome to the forums!

1. Is there an affiliate program able to be set up with it?

We have no built in support for affiliate programs. Most of them allow you to register a purchase via a hidden image tag. You could add this to the thank you page template.

2. Is it possible to replace the plain text box used for entering an item's description with a wysiwig html editor text box?

We have no support for this, but will be adding it in the future.

3. Can you add a 'buy now' link on the short description product listing page?

Yes. You just add the quantity field you normally see on the detail page to the show_product.php template, and make it a hidden field. Then, you add the code for the add to cart button, which can also be found on the detail page (show_product_detail.php template)

4. Is it possible to create new fields through the administration section (I couldn't find anything), ie to create for example a new field called 'original price', another called 'your saving' etc, and add these to the product detail page?

No. You can add product options, but not custom fields. This will be coming in a later release. You could use phpMyAdmin to add fields to the Products table, and they would be accessible within the template files. I would recommend waiting for the feature though, as this method would not be supported, and could cause problems when trying to upgrade.

Thanks,
Jamie
