Hi Again

Currently configuring 4.86.0 on 6.01.02 of DNN. 

I'm having a bit of an issue with the layout of the buy now page in some browsers and would like some advise.  I'm reasonably new to skinning DNN but nomally when skinning modules I have some classes or id's I can manipulate in CSS for layout issues but I can't seem to work out what classes to modify in the cart.  

The issue is that in IE and firefox the add to cart button seems to wrap to a new line while in chrome and safari it's fine (see attachments).  This seems to be caused by the product summary label behaving differently in different browsers and causing.  Using firebug to find the id/class I have id="dnn_ctr459_ProductsList_dtProductslist_ctl00_lblSummary1class="SmithProdText">

I don't seem to be able to find suitable references to these in the module.css file to override to fix this.  It's occuring in two different portals with different skins.  Might be my lack of skill in this area but would like to get this fixed so any suggestions would be welcome.

Secondly I would like to be able to modify the layout of the Products page for a specific portal.  I note there is portal specific ProductListSingleColumn.ascx and I assume these can be modified to change the layout of the product list but not sure how to modify the layout of the products page.  I would like to be able to move the tabs to the side of the product image but only for one portal.  

And lastly I was wondering if it was possible to have two product pages per site?  My customer wants to have a separate page displaying specific data for their products.  If there was a way of using the products module to maintain and update this information but display it differently to the standard products page it would be easier to maintain for them.  I realise this might be outside the capabilities of the cart but thought I would ask.  

Appreciate any help you might be able to offer.  Once I sort out these issues I should have a couple of sales for you ;-P
 
Regards
Ian

Hi Ian,

1. Regarding your button issue, Increase the width in the following class in the module.css file:

.myBtnCenter1

2. When you say "Product page" are you referring to the Product Details module?

3. I'm not sure I fully understand your last question, could you please provide more details? What specific data do you wish to display on a separate page?

Thanks,

Thanks Kevin, I appreciate your assistance on this.

1. I have tried adjusting .myBtnCenter1 without it seeminly having any affect. The problem can be seen here http://www.nudewinesonline.com.au/buy.aspx in IE9 and firefox.

2. Yes, the products details module. I would like to change the layout significantly and need some guidance on the best way to do this.

3. A client requires a page that displays product information that is not necessarily where they would purchase the product. For example as a wine client they would like a page that displays the awards for the wines. I was wondering if it would be possible to display product images and the awards from one of the tabs. It would be very convenient for them and save a lot of additional data entry if they could manage the product using smith cart in one place and have that flow through to the awards page.

Regards
Ian

After some further testing the button issue occurs with the default skin in DNN with both IE9 and Firefox. If the buy now module doesn't use the whole content pane width or if it includes the product summary the edge of the buttons wrap to the next line.

Is this something that can be fixed with styles or is it a bug?

Regards
Ian

FYI It is also dependent on if the product summary on the buy now page wraps over more than one line?

I resolved this by surrounding the controls in the productlist.ascx for both the add to cart button and the thumbnail (which wasn't laying out properly either) with divs that I could adjust the width for. This seems to be working under all the different skins I have used.

I used a similar approach for changing the layout of the product detail page.

Not ideal and probably not the right way but is working ok.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for posting back with an update. The next version of the Cart v.4.99 will most likely resolve this issue without modification of the ascx files as we have added Page Templating for the Single and Multi Column Page layouts.

Thanks,

Great, Thanks Kevin

Is there a time frame for the release of 4.99 yet?
