Hello everyone. I am wanting to add my crafty syntax live help to all pages in the xcart.

What and where do I need to do this. There is a line of script code that needs to be inserted.

Thanks in advance,

Jason

Okay, sorry, I found it... lol...

But how do I edit a tpl?

Is there a program that will show you how it will look as you do it? Or is it all done by text?

Any help would be apprecialted

It is code, so you edit it with a text editor like UltraEdit, or the built-in template editor in X-Cart (click 'Edit Templates'). May want to read this first:

Well, I have been usiing it for a little while, had a few others installed, but Crafty has alot more options, etc... and a little more professional.

I like it alot, I have it on 3 of my sites, and it works very well.

let me know if you have any questions about it...

Okay, I looked with a text editor... and DAMN... I am confused, with no idea how to do this.

I wanted I think to put it over the"your cart" box on top right of screen.

Can anyone give me the place where I would do this?

If you need the code, let me know and I will send it to you if that helps.

Just really need to get this on there, and Have no idea what to do next.

Thanks in advance,

Jason

Well home.tpl may not be the right place then, I assumed you just needed to add some code to the <head> tag. First you need to find what template controls the area you want to add it to (see the thread I linked) and then add it there. If you don't know html/css, this isn't going to be easy and you may want to hire someone to do it for you.
