Custom e-Catalog Specifications

Display Types

TYPE=itemcount

'TYPE=itemcount' displays the number of products a buyer has added to the cart without having to go to the cart.

Note: To include a type=itemcount in a template, use the include=yes tag.

Local Syntax

<!-- SMARTCAT START

      AZ=xxxxxxxx
      TYPE=itemcount

      SMARTCAT END -->

Portable Syntax

Using the portable syntax, 'type=itemcount' should be used in conjunction with templates and the include tag.

TYPE=itemcount displays as follows:

xx items

You can append text to the results by preceding or following your Custom e-Catalog call with the desired text. The results will also take on any font attributes you have assigned to the call. For example:

<FONT COLOR="#FF0000"><B> There are

<!-- SMARTCAT START

      AZ=xxxxxxxx
      TYPE=itemcount

      SMARTCAT END -->
in your cart<B></FONT>

would render as:

There are xx items in your cart
