Hm, thanks.

I would edit this occasionally to add new interesting threads and weed out the useless ones, but it seems I can’t edit since this post has been sticki’d.

Don’t know if that could be changed? That post authors can still edit stickies?

Christina,
you should be able to edit the topics that you’ve created for indefinite time. Problem was not the sticky but that we limit the time for allowing editing to 3 days (still have that restriction on comments).

Thanks!

Thanks Daniel!

those used to be h2 and h3 headings. what textile/html is allowed here?

oh yes, that was a result of a whitelist for tags. They are escaped. But I just updated that. If you edit your post and save it again they should show up properly.

thx alot

but still wondering how to feature products

There’s a collection called Frontpage. Just assign the products that you would like to be featured to that collection, and they will automatically appear on the front page. The number displayed, and the way they are displayed will depend on the theme.

Thanks Cliff

Thanks for this Christina!

I have created a website with shopify. I have posted products and i have opened a paypal account. I am having trouble with the checkout part. When my customers go to checkout the page goes back to the front page. I have tried so many things to fix the problem, and i am now stuck. I have no clue what to do from here. Please help! My website is karibukenya.myshopify.com

My problem is so simple, I’m sure, but so profound. I’ve been working at it for hours. Newbie. The text I enter in the product description box does not show up when I go to the website I’m creating. Neither does the “variant” pricing. PLEEEASSEEE!!! What am I missing here?

Thanks

Hi Christina,

I was wondering if you could add something about Flash files that use xml to pull in variables. eg. Slideshow Pro or most of the files on Flashden. It appears that they will not work under Shopify’s file/folder structure. (unless someone can prove me wrong).

There is a short thread on it here.

Instead you need to ref your files elsewhere. Bingo Disk works fine, as well as Dropbox . I am sure there are others as well including your own server somewhere else. Dropbox is nice in that you can edit your files as if they are local and they are sync’d in real time as you save.

I think this would save folks a ton of time through trial and error if we can get this posted here or in the wiki. There are a ton of posts with people trying to get this to work without any success and if we can save them from trying in the first place I think it would help lower some frustration levels among Flash users.

If using swfObject (highly recommended and standard compliant) simply reference your .swf and .xml file on the other server with an absolute path. Double check your .xml file for correct image paths on your other server and you should be up and running in no time rather than trying to debug what the issue may be with paths within Shopify.

Thanks!

I need to add meta tags to at least the index page. How do I do that?
