"Fly Pages"
July 3, 2000
-------------

Also see the parsed HTML document in the DOCS directory!

As of version 3.2, there is a new way to display cart contents.  If the
system detects display_cart=1 (or dc=1) in the URL or in POST form data
then the cart will be displayed.  Formerly syntax such as

  <A HREF="agora.cgi?add_to_cart_button.x=yes&%%href_fields%%&viewOrder=yes">
  <FONT FACE=ARIAL>View Cart</FONT>

was used to view the cart.  With the simplified view cart code it becomes

  <A HREF="agora.cgi?dc=1&%%href_fields%%"><FONT FACE=ARIAL>View Cart</FONT>

This simplifies the HTML and prevents false error messages about reloaded
pages.  

The producPage.inc file options have changed considerably since agora.cgi
was first released.  Agorascript has greatly enhanced the ability to
display products.  With the ppinc= option, there are many ways to mix and
match the display of product information.

Here are some of the files available for displaying products "on-the-fly":

  productPage.inc       current standard display, 2 across, agorascript
  productPage-1a.inc    early standard, no agorascript, 1 item across
  productPage-2a.inc    agorascript, 2 items across, same as standard
  productPage-2a0.inc   agorascript, 2 items across, another way
  productPage-2a1.inc   agorascript, 2 items across, yet another way

Here are a couple other files to look at:
  productPage-agorascript_example.inc   agorascript example of table format
  productPage-search.inc                used in search displays
  productPage-search2.inc               ditto
