Custom Page Upload

Note:

Custom Pages is a deprecated tool, included mainly for legacy compatibility. The preferred method for customizing your ShopSite store is with Custom Templates, a more robust and powerful tool. Because Custom Pages is no longer being updated, newer ShopSite features may not be available in pages created with the Custom Pages tool.

To upload a custom page from your local computer for use in your store:

If you know the pathname of the file that you want to upload, type it in the first box. Otherwise, click Browse to navigate to the file.

If you want to give the custom page file a different file name on the ShopSite server, type the new name in the second box. You can give it a long, descriptive name, but it can't have spaces in the name (use periods or underscores instead) and it must have the .html suffix.

Note:

ShopSite automatically puts custom page files in the smarthtml directory under the store’s output directory.

Click File Upload. The upload process starts and your file is added to your smarthtml directory. When the upload completes, you will be back at the Custom Pages screen, and you will see the new file in the list.

Alternate Ways of Uploading Files

The upload feature is convenient for uploading files one at a time, but FTPing is more convenient for large batches of files. All of your custom page files are stored under the smarthtml subdirectory of your store's output directory. The pathname is shown on the Custom Pages screen. Ask your host administrator to set up FTP access for you to that directory, and then you can use FTP software to upload several files in one operation. You can also put files in subdirectories under the smarthtml directory when you upload them with FTP, which you cannot do by using the Custom Page Upload feature. Any custom page files in subdirectories will not be displayed in the list on the Custom Pages screen.
