is it possible to create pages in SCC that are not shown in the site navigation menu's ? i'd like to add return pages for both purchase's and for when people use my contact us page

thanks

Sorry Mark, but that is not an option in the software.

But.... lol

You can very easily add these pages to your system using the HTML Editor or VSD and tying it together using PayPal (or your purchasing venue) which usually includes a setting to tell it what page you want them to go to after they purchase.
I'm "pretty sure" that when you set it it then takes your customer to that page when they click the link in PayPal to return to the site.

As for the contact page return page that's very easy as mentioned above using the HTML Editor or VSD. Just have your contact form send them to that page. The Form Builder (which I am assuming you're using CC's Form Builder so if not then apply this to whatever one you are using), has a setup in it where you can tell it what page you want it to go to when people hit the submit button. You can put generic text in a box in the settings or you can have it link to an html page which would be the way to do this.

Hi,

Yeah i can do it in dreamweaver no problem i was just checking to see if it could be done within SCC mostly for cosmetic reasons to keep all pages identical

Cheers

So... you don't like how easily it is to set it up to do the "identical" settings? Really the only things that you "can't" do when you create external pages is use the exact menu setting if you add menu buttons to your external pages like I did. Other than that, a bit of tweaking here and there on placements can result in pretty much identical looks with very few discrepancies. I realize my site may not be "exactly" the same, but I do think I did a pretty good job of keeping the look the same between 2 different systems.

So I guess I'm not sure why that wouldn't be just as viable and actually more functional than creating them all in the SCC since you can do a whole lot more on an external page than you can with the internal ones. The internal ones do pretty good mind you, just not as easily and as nicely as external ones can do.

Anyways, it's an option that worked for me and quite a few others, and hopefully one day they will give the SCC Pro a lot more functionality on the pages too especially for the menu situation so we can add more buttons on the menu instead of the drop down for them, and "maybe" even add buttons for external pages. Till then though, works good outside the program too

Check out my shop in my sig if you haven't already to see what I mean of how you can create them cosmetically the same. For mine only the Shop Home, Categories, and View Cart are actually in the SCC, the rest are all external pages as well as many pages for return pages and thank you pages which aren't seeable via the main pages. They all play very nicely together I think

Thanks for that i've looked at your site and will put together the pages i need.
It was partly for cosmetic reasons and mostly lazyness!!

Cheers
