Categories:
Categories
are used to separate
your different products.
A Category may be
something like "Dolls" or "Seasonal". As
you enter your products you will add them to the category of
your choice. PLEASE NOTE: YOU MUST have categories added
before you can add a product.
Please Note: Categories are used
for PRODUCTS ONLY. If you want additional information pages, you will
use Ancillary pages to
create them.
Please Note: BEFORE adding a
category, Make sure you have uploaded your category buttons.
To Add a New
Category:
Click on "Categories", then click on "Add New
Category". Simply type in your category name and select
the button from the Image drop down box. If you
would like to display thumbnails before the product details,
select Yes, otherwise leave it at No. If you are displaying
thumbnails before product detail, select your thumbnail width
and then add any comments if you wish to, to the Category
Comment box.
Press Submit to save your
new Category.
Please
Note: Be sure to NOT name a
category the same as one of your existing categories. You want each
category to have it's own unique name.
Categories will NOT show up on
your website until you have added a product to them.
Sub Categories:
Your website comes with the
option to display sub categories within each parent category. This is
a useful option if you want to break down your products. For example,
you carry a large selection of Dolls. You can have a main parent
category titled "Dolls" and then have sub categories within
titled Raggedies, Seasonal, Mammies, etc. To
add a Sub-Category, click on "Categories in your admin area. Then
click on Sub Categories. You will be given the option to select which
parent category you would like to display your sub category in. Select
the parent category and click on "Add New Sub Category" and
then add your sub-category in the same manner as you added your
regular categories. You can enter how many sub categories you would
like to display in each column. You
can have your sub category displayed on your website as a plain text
link or you can add a button or product preview image to be displayed
along with the link. if you use a button or preview image, be sure to
select the thumbnail size you wish it to be displayed in. Sub
Categories will be displayed in alphabetical order. Sub
Categories will NOT show up on
your website until you have added a product to them.
Please Note:
Be sure to NOT name a sub category the same as one of your
existing sub categories. You want each sub category to have it's own
unique name.
