Demo Store - Choose A Category Below

 

The page you are currently viewing is called frontpage.html and resides in the /html/main directory. You should ONLY be viewing this page by accessing agora.cgi, NOT by linking directly to this page. By default, agora.cgi loads this page as the homepage.

Download the source and view the source code for this page (Don't just view the source code through the web browser or this part won't make sense). Notice the code for the category links above. For example, agora.cgi?product=java&cart_id= displays all of the products from the database that are in the java category. The 'cart id=' tells the script to add in the numeric cart id when the page is parsed through the script. In other words, the cart id IS NOT hardcoded into the source code of the page, but is added dynamically to the page when it is displayed. This makes the script more accessible to users that do not accept cookies.

Store Manager

Store Manager can be accessed here. Please note, on similar scripts you need to use this syntax manager.cgi?welcome_screen=yes

If you use only manager.cgi, this script automatically loads the welcome screen!  Error-detection/recovery has also been enhanced.

Bookmark your Store Manager link, and make sure to remove the link displayed above when you re-design this page.
