That's excellent news, thanks Jamie!

If one of the options requires and weight and/or price change, does the same syntax as in 1.6.3 apply? I noticed the values we have to set for regular options differ now. Looking forward to your reply!

Hi,

That's excellent news, thanks Jamie!

Your welcome!

The instructions for 1.6.3 and earlier do not apply. The instructions to do this in v2.1.3 and newer are in the documentation:

Jamie,

I have followed the instructions here and in the documentation and I still can't get it to work.

Does the static HTML page with the "Add To Cart" button still have to be in the same folder as the cart? This is not that handy from an SEO perspective I think.

How do I get the link at the top of the product in the shopping cart to not go back to the product page in the software but to go back to the static HTML page that it came from?

The instructions for this in the documentation work fine:

If you followed those and can't get it to work, open a helpdesk ticket and we will find the problem.

No.

I'm not sure how the location of the file you are adding the form fields to would have a negative impact on search engine position.

If by "the link" you are referring to an add to cart link or button, it would be impossible for it to work without sending the form data to Squirrelcart's storefront page. There is no way to do what you are trying to accomplish.

Thanks Jamie. Apologies I may have explained myself incorrectly.

I see from your answer that I do not have to have it in the same folder. I take it that is to do with the "Authorised Hosts" box and where my store front is positioned?

My site is: "http://www.mydomain.com"
The Storefront is in: http://www.mydomain.com/checkout (So I can SSL it)
The static HTML page may be on: http://www.mydomain.com/Widget/bluewidget.htm

What would I have to put into the "Authorised Hosts" box? Will I have to put in every page I have a button on?

I have managed to sort out the other things that I had asked about.

[Jamie]

I just answered this in your helpdesk ticket.
