NetStores E-Commerce ExtensionsQuick FormOverview The NetStores E-Commerce system allows multiple ways for your customers to order your products. One way is to use the NetStores Add to Cart or instant-purchase button. However, if you prefer additional flexibility and features, or you have a small number of products you can use the Quick Form configured ordering system. Quick Form allows you to create a form on one page that allows your customers to select and input the products they wish to buy, and then click one button to order several products. Before you use this... Before you start using the Quick-Form feature, if you have not already done this, select the NetStores panel from the Dreamweaver Insert panel by selecting the NetStores tab.
For the Quick-Form system to work, you must first perform Steps 1-7 (start at Step 1 - Setup).
To add the Quick-Form system to a Web
page, position the cursor where you want the form and click the Quick
Form icon Quick-Form dialog box will appear (see picture below) that allows you to configure the presentation of the Quick-Form Order button to match your aesthetic preferences. Customizing the appearance of the Quick-Form button (top) You can change the appearance of the Quick-Form button by selecting your own text or image for the button. To make these modifications, insert entries in the NetStores Quick-Form dialog box (see picture) as follows:
The settings you used when you last created an Quick-Form button (by clicking OK), are saved and will reappear the next time you use the Quick-Form object.
After you click OK, a form object with some special elements is inserted into the currently opened document (see picture).
Next, add HTML input elements and other elements like text, graphics, etc. into this form so your customers can make selections and order your products. There are several different types of input elements you may use, and they provide different ways your customers can order your products. Select the Dreamweaver Forms Object panel by clicking the Forms tab (see pictures).
Check Box for selectively purchasing products (top) To allow customers to choose the products
they wish to buy, you can add the check-box element. Position the cursor
in front of the order button in the form made by Quick-Form and click
the Check Box icon At this point, you should be able to create a page that allows your customers to select which of your products they wish to buy in any combination.
To allow your customers to indicate
the quantity of an item to purchase, you can use a Text Field box instead
of a check box. In this case, you simply position the cursor within
the quick form and click a Text Field icon
Next, if you want the customers to
be able to choose one option from several, you can use either radio
buttons or a pull-down menu. Using the radio-button icon
Creating a pull-down menu for selecting
between different products is even easier than creating radio buttons
to perform the same function. Simply position the cursor within the
quick form and click the List/Menu icon
Now you should be able to create a Web page where customers select from a variety of your products and order them all at once. Here is a simple example of the "Configured System" in action. For additional information, go to the online Dreamweaver
