<strong>StoreFront</strong> <strong>5.0</strong> 6. Use FrontPage to open the page you will be adding the Product Bot to. Place your cursor where you wish to insert the product bot. 7. After you have selected the options and information you would like to add to the page along with the Product Bot, click Add to Page. This will create the product bot. 8. Save the new Product Page to your web. IMPORTANT: You MUST save the page with a .asp file extension. THE PRODUCT PAGE WILL NOT WORK UNLESS IT IS NAMED AS AN ASP PAGE. 9. If the page you added the Product Bot to is an existing HTML page, rename it to .asp. You can do this by right-clicking the file, selecting Rename, then changing the htm or html extension to .asp. You can test a Product Page by viewing it in a browser independent of FrontPage. The “Preview in Browser” feature or the Preview Tab of FrontPage will not reliably display product pages. You must finish the steps described under Path Configuration, page 56, and Database Connectivity Configuration, page 43, before you will be able to test any Product Pages. DESIGN-TIME AND RUN-TIME PRODUCT BOTS There are two main types of Product Bots: Design-Time and Run-Time. The characteristic that distinguishes one from the other is that Design-Time bots and the data elements that are added to a design-time page are static. They are pulled from the information stored in the database for a product and written to the page as HTML when the product page is created. If the information in the database changes, or if the product is removed from the database, no change will be reflected on the product page. The page will have to be updated manually. Design-Time pages can be created from any existing HTML web page. Run-Time bots and the data elements that are added to a run-time page are dynamic. The information for the product data elements is pulled from the database every time the page is viewed by a customer. If the information stored in the database changes, this will be reflected by the Run-Time page. There will never be any need to update a Run-Time page manually, only to update the information stored in the database. 150
User Guide Note: You must run Run-Time Product Pages from the root folder of your web or subweb. When you add Run-Time data elements or other features to a product page, the Product Bot Creator will add some additional coding to the page to support these functions. MULTIPLE-PRODUCT PRODUCT BOTS Normally, a single Product Bot is used to place orders for a single product item. If you prefer, however, a single Product Bot can be used to allow customers to choose from multiple product items. The multiple products will be listed in a drop-down list or as a series of radio buttons. Your customers can then select the product they would like to order, specify a quantity, and click the Add to Order button. This is an excellent and space-efficient method of selling multiple products on a single page without using multiple product bots. To create a Multiple-Product Product Bot, begin creating a product page as you normally would, but select multiple products from the product listing in the upper-left corner of the Product Bot Creator. Then, under the Multiple-Product Options section, select how you would like the different products to be selectable on the product page. The Multiple-Product Product bot in the image uses Radio Buttons. ADDING PRODUCT DATA ELEMENTS AND OTHER OPTIONS TO A PRODUCT PAGE When creating a product item, you can input optional information such as a Description, Long Description, and Product Name. When you add a Product Bot to a page, you can also choose to add these options and information as well. The available data elements and options that can be added to a page are listed and defined below. All of these options are found under the Product Bot Creation menu, which can be accessed by following the steps described in Creating Product Pages Step-by-Step, page 149. 151
