Default CubeCart v4: Random Product Desc. & Site Docs Hack

Afternoon All,

I've already trawled Google for these and hit the CC forum but with no help as of yet. So I reckon this might be one for the experts.

1) Is there a way to to give the {RANDOM_PROD} tag on the homepage (or whereever it might appear) a description to go along side the name and product image?

I've tried using pieces of code from other parts of the site as well as some custom hacks but I can seem to get it to display. I also need the text to appear truncated as it needs to fit into a certain part of the site.

2) Is there a way to add a page to the site but not have it appear in the SiteDocs (Footer) at the bottom everypage?

I realise that an obvious option for this is to create an HTML SiteDocs and place the pages I want in there manually, however I'd prefer an option that didn't call for this.

As always the help is much appreciated.

Hasn't anyone got anything on this?

I must have search for the best part of 3 hours last night. This might not be possible?

Hi There,

I know you can add descriptions into the {RANDOM_PROD} tag. It would require some custom scripting but it definately can be done. You just need to tell it to catch "X" amount of characters from the description of the product when you get to the root of where that tag originates.

Also, do you mean having a link in your footer that only appears on one page?

Lewis
