The "My home page" interface allows you to setup
a personalized home page that functions as a
centralized location for all of your products on
CraftMall.com.
You can access the "My home page" interface
by clicking the left side "My home page" link
under "My Account".
Or you can click the "My home page" icon on
the main page of your personal administration
area.
Setting up your home page
The interface consists of the
following:
Logo image
The "Logo image" area allows you to upload an
image of your logo for personalization of your
home page. Once uploaded, the logo is displayed
at the top of your home page and at the top of
any additional (dynamically generated) product
listing pages.
To upload your logo image, click the "Change
icon" button to open the "Image
selection" window to select an image on
your local computer.
Details
The details text box allows you to enter a text
based description of you or your company that is
displayed on your home page or you can enter
HTML for more advanced formatting and control.
Once you have entered your information, press
the "Submit" button to complete the process.
Your home page also has two viewable modes, the "Mall" interface and the "Store" interface. The "Mall" interface is displayed for customers who are currently shopping on CraftMall.com whereas the "Store" interface allows you to drive traffic (via a dedicated URL) to your own store front. This is handy for those who have their own domain name and would like all traffic that goes to their domain name resolve to their "Store" interface on CraftMall.com. You can view each of the viewable modes (and the URL for each mode) by clicking on the "My home page (Store)" and "My home page (Mall)" located to the top right of your "My home page" interface.
Controlling the order in which your products are displayed on your home page You have the ability to control the order in which your products are displayed on your home page. Let's say for example that you wish to have all of your new products displayed at the top. To control the order in which your products are displayed, click on "Search products" under "Products" located to the top left of your administration interface. On the "Search products" interface, leave the "Product #" and "Product title" fields empty, the "In category" set to "All" and press the "Search" button. The resulting display is a list of all of your products. Use the "Pos." fields to control the order in which your products are displayed on your home page. When you have changed the number values in your "Pos." fields, press the "Update" button to save your changes. The "Pos." fields control the order in which your products are displayed in both "Store" view and "Mall" view of your home page.
