I have a flash demo for each of the products I am selling.
How can I "add a link' to these demos for every product.
I guess I have to use a new field, but have no idea where / how to add it, so that it available when entering new products.
PS: I've been searching for the last 1/2hr and I haven't found a solution.
Thanks !
Nadia

Dear Nadia,
One possible way to achieve this is to insert the url into any of the "other1...5" product fields, and then adding that field into your template with a $ at the front of the line (which will stop that html line from showing up if the "other1...5" value is null)
eg:
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr>
$<td><a href="[other1]">flash demo</a></td>
The template you will need to modify for shopexd.asp is generally tmp_product.htm
Thank you
Regards,
Michael

Michael,
Seems like just the info I needed. I'll try this first thing in the morning. It's been a while since I opened either VPASP or OS%5, so I'm just getting used to the 'vanilla' design of vpasp, hopefully once I understand where everything is, I can bolt it into my own design
Thanks !
Nadia

Nope didn't work 
This is what I get on previewing the ext.description page . I wanted the link to show under the larger picture.
quote:
Field other1 not in database
$
View the Flash Demo of the template.
This is the code I placed into the tmp_product.htm
<!-- set line for flash demo -->
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr>
$ <td><a href="[other1]">View the Flash Demo of the template</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- end flash demo -->
After adding the above to the template, I entered the link to the demo in the Other1 product field for one of the products.
It does give me a link, but when clicked goes to:
http://xxxxxx. com/%5Bother1%5D
With an error "page cannot be found" naturally as there is no such link.
Any idea if I've done something wrong, or another suggestion?
Thanks |

Dear Nadia,
Apologies, I missed a "p" - the other fields are actually named pother1...5
Try using this value in your template code to see how you go.
<!-- set line for flash demo -->
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr>
$ <td><a href="[pother1]">View the Flash Demo of the template</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- end flash demo -->
Regards,
Michael
