Adding a CE4 Cart gallery to the Services page

I wish to add a cart enabled gallery to the "Services" page, separate to my existing gallery.

Is there a way I can link that using Publisher.

Thanks

David

Re: Adding a CE4 Cart gallery to the Services page

no, not a gallery. but you can use the cart's write-in buttons for individual products or services. You'll need to enable the cart for Pages.

Re: Adding a CE4 Cart gallery to the Services page

Hi Rod

Thanks for your reply

Does that mean I would be able incorporate images on the services page similar to having a gallery. What I am looking at doing is only selecting a few images that I would wish to sell as prints.

Would it be better to perhaps put the cart gallery in with the main gallery

Thanks

Re: Adding a CE4 Cart gallery to the Services page

you could incorporate images in the Services page but you'd have to add them inline using html and add the cart button to them. If you have more than one or two you'll probably want to use the responsive framework and you may need to use some custom css to style the presentation.

If you wanted it similar to a gallery, then you'd be doing quite a bit of custom coding.
You may be better off creating a regular gallery and substituting the Services page with that.

You can't put a gallery within a gallery.

"You may be better off creating a regular gallery and substituting the Services page with that"

I may of  confused the issue here. Is what you suggest above similar to what I saw in the User Showcase example at this site http://bradgoddard.com where there is one gallery for prints and another for stock...that's what I am trying to achieve.

Re: Adding a CE4 Cart gallery to the Services page

Brad is using his Galleries page for his image galleries that have prints available for sale.
He's using Autoindex to create an index page for galleries that have images available for stock licensing.
It looks like he's running one instance of Publisher for his main galleries and another for his stock galleries.
The albums in the stock index are not cart enabled. The albums in the Galleries page index are cart enabled.

You can't use the Services page generated by Pages to do this. Use Autoindex to create an index for these galleries. If you just want to use one gallery ou could created it alongside all other galleries on the Galleries page and hide it from the autoindex so it doesn't appear on your galleries page. Then just add this gallery to your navigation menu for all pages.

Yep that sounds right and just about got my head around it...just a bit confused about this part.

Re: Adding a CE4 Cart gallery to the Services page

If you want people to be able to access that gallery like they would access your Services or About or other main menu page, then you'll need to add it to your navigation menu as a menu item. Label it whatever you want and place the URL to it in the target field for the nav menu item.
