Template Usage
General Tips
Page templates can be changed under 'Settings' > 'Page Templates' when you log into your account.
Not all templates must be used. A site can just use the homepage, product, and cart template pages.

Displaying Lists
To show list of items, use
variables that ends with '_start' and '_end'. Some list can have a limit set. You may also use the variable counter. Example:
{set limit = 4}
{best_seller_list_start}
<a href='{best_seller_url}'> <img src={best_seller_image_tn} border=0 alt="thumbnail" /> </a> <br />
<a href='{best_seller_url}'> {best_seller_name} </a>
{best_seller_list_end}
{if counter = 0}
No Product Available
{end}
Some list has varialbes ending in '_list_container_start' and '_list_container_end'. If you wrap your html list block with these variables, then if the counter is 0, the block will not display.
{set limit = 4}
{best_seller_list_start}
<a href='{best_seller_url}'> <img src={best_seller_image_tn} border=0 alt="thumbnail" /> </a> <br />
<a href='{best_seller_url}'> {best_seller_name} </a>
{best_seller_list_end}
{if counter = 0}
No Product Available
{end}
Some list has varialbes ending in '_list_container_start' and '_list_container_end'. If you wrap your html list block with these variables, then if the counter is 0, the block will not display.
Setting Variables
Variables that begins with 'setting_' can be set. Also the variable limit can be set. Examples:
{set setting_price_list = 0-24.99, 25-49.99, 50-99.99, 100-149.99, 150 }
{set limit = 4}
{set setting_price_list = 0-24.99, 25-49.99, 50-99.99, 100-149.99, 150 }
{set limit = 4}
Checking a Variable's Value with If Statments
Some variables that do not end with '_start' or '_end' maybe checked for certain values. Use the if statement. You may use the operators =, == (same as =), != (not equals) , >, >=, <, and <=. To represent an empty string of text, use two single quote marks ''. All if statments must be followed by {end}. Examples:
{if logged == 1} <!-- html here only shows when customer is logged in --> {end}
{if checkout_shipping_name_1 != ''} <!-- html here --> {end}
{if product_exist != ''} <script>location.href=('./');</script> {end}
{if enable_google_checkout == 1} <!-- html here --> {end}
{if logged == 1} <!-- html here only shows when customer is logged in --> {end}
{if checkout_shipping_name_1 != ''} <!-- html here --> {end}
{if product_exist != ''} <script>location.href=('./');</script> {end}
{if enable_google_checkout == 1} <!-- html here --> {end}

{store_name}
{site_url}
{global_header}
{store_name}
{site_url}
{global_header}
