catablog Cart shown in side column?

    I have been working on a store. I would like the cart to be shown in a side column instead of a whole new page that loads in a new tab OR at the very least have the cart load in the same window instead of a new tab.

    I don’t know much about code or even where or what to look for so if some of you Gurus have any ideas, I would appreciate some “go here and do this.”

    Thanks!

  • Hello sylviaivie, there are two widgets that come with CataBlog.

    Log into your website admin panel and navigate to Appearance >> Widgets and you will see two widgets

    1) CataBlog Catalog
    2) CataBlog Categories

    Choose the one that most suits your needs.

    Kind regards

    NO….Manuel. I want the paypal cart to show up in the column. Not the catablog or categories. When someone puts something in the cart now it opens a new tab. I don’t like that at all. I want the paypal cart to show up in a column or as a page on the same tab.

    Get it?

    Hi Sylvia, I misunderstood your question and now that I read it again I see what you mean. I must of being asleep. Sorry for that. Yes I do get it now ??

    Unfortunately that is beyond the capacity of the plugin.

    Perhaps you can put in a request to Zach the developer. Or if someone chips in and provides you with some php hack.

    Kind regards

    Well, if there is a will there’s always a way.

    I found a plug in that “taught” me a few things. So here is what I did to get the cart to load in the same tab “_self”

    I’ve made several copies of the store template with different options. and I’ve copied the text of one to save as “store do not use” so I always have a copy of the original store template.

    Here’s what you do. Go into your copy of store template. Find the line that says. <form method='post' action='https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr' target='paypal'>

    Change that to…
    `<form method=’post’ action=’https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr&#8217; target=’_self’>”

    TADA!! Catablog Paypal Cart, loads in same window instead of opening a new one.

    If you like this tip… Please donate to mbrsolutions who has been a great friend and huge help as I take a sandblaster to my brain to try remember stuff long forgotten. ??

    Absolutely. You are welcome to it. I am still looking for a way to load it in the sidebar. But this will do for now.
