About Page Templates

It is recommended you read all the following items before creating your first template

  • Get child pages (cross sells, subcategories, upsells, products in pages...)
  • Get product information (pricing, options, content...)
  • Get order information (build perpetual carts, shopping cart, checkout pages and order receipts...)
  • Get user information (create account, blogs, account management, address book management, wish list management...)
  • Get web 2.0 content (blogs, polls, comments/forums...)
  • Get additional page content (ad banners, breadcrumbs, recently viewed...)
  • Useful information (get city, county, longitude, latitude and other information from a zip code)
  • Shortcuts to make your job easier (quick content for state drop downs, country drop downs, format numbers into dollar output)
