Converting Mini Cart into an unordered list
Hi all. i am reskinnning the default blue skin into my design which is coming along quite well. you can see the work in progress here.

http://www.fitnessfactory.com.au/default.aspx

Im am pretty up there with template building and css but not .net coding, what i want to do is convert the minicart from a drop down list to an unordered list. If anyone could provide some tips on how to do this that would be great. thanks.

Also, on another note i want to convert the more info image in the dashboard to text 'More Info' any help on this would be great too.

Re: Converting Mini Cart into an unordered list

Hello Lindsey,

I want to start by saying great job on your site. For someone who doesn't know .net very well, you are doing a fine job hiding it. Now on to your questions. I am not quite understanding what you are getting at with ordered vs. unordered display, can you iterate please?

On your next question, what color do you want the text for "More Info"? Let me know and I will send one to you for free. I have advanced graphics programs that can whip this out in a nano second for you. I did this for a customer here http://anniversarygiftdesigns.com so take a look and tell me if this is what you are wanting.

I did notice a few issues with your rendering on IE8 emulating IE7 (my browser) The first category you have listed under browse categories is Barbells. However once you hover over it, it looses its align constraint and goes left to cover the arrow beside it. and doesn't return. I didn't bother to look at your source but it appears to be a css class getting parsed incorrectly.

Second is once you go to a category, your site search disappears.

I am not picking on you just letting you know what I see incase it isn't doing that on your browser.

Re: Converting Mini Cart into an unordered list
Thanks for the reply Aric.

Firstly, thanks for pointing out the bugs that you noticed, i am aware of these and am gradually making my way through building the site and fixing any issues on all browsers. And thanks for the praise on the site.

Now.... Currently the mini cart is displaying the cart items in a drop down list. i would like to change this to display them in a bullet point list instead so i can style them the same as my category menu above it (you will need to add something to the cart to see this) ie.

<ul>
    <li>Rubber Hex Dumbells</li>
    <li>Olumpic Barbell</li>
</ul>

I know where the asp code is outputting this as a drop down control, just dont know how to edit this code to create a bullet point list.

Secondly, about the more info, i want to disply the 'more info' link as a html text link, not an image. But thanks for the offer of creating this image for me.

One other thing. Do you know where the file is that edits all the infomation text within the cart, like the update instructions on the view cart page.

"
To change the quantity: type in the new quantity and select [UPDATE CART]. To remove an item: check the [Delete] box and then click [UPDATE CART]."

I think this is in a resx file, but just not sure which one?

Cheers.

Re: Converting Mini Cart into an unordered list

Hi Lindsey,

Sorry I didn't understand you at first....it makes total sense now.

OK first things first. The "<asp: dropdown list>" would need to be replaced with "<asp: Bulletedlist>" Within the minicart.ascx .(see link here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.bulletedlist.aspx )However, just replacing the form control type will kick an error as the ID for this form is for "ddlCart" with a population ID of "ProductID". It has been awhile since I have needed to add controls to CataLook so you will need to give me a bit to play with it and assign a new ID for this to work. Once I get it right I will post a copy of what it took.

Where it comes to the more info...no problem. You should be able to go into the itempane.ascx and scan down into the "productslist0" table and look for "Product Information" (I think it was like 8 to 10 lines into the table) It lists an Image to use for the hyperlink. I believe if you remove the image and change the text to "more info" rather then "Product Information" on this tag you will achieve the results you are looking for. If it doesn't work out that way let me know as I have not tested it. Ahh you would also have to change it from an imagehyperlink class to a plain hyperlink class.

Lastly go into the language editor (admin--> languages --> language editor --> local resources --> desktop modules --> CAT_Modules --> App_LocalResources --> shoppingcart.ascx --> scan down and look for the entry "Resource Name: LBLCHECKOUTHINT.Text" 

 This is the one you want. Once you change it hit the update link at the bottom.
