Building out shop

Hi there

I am implementing the shop app on my web site, I am familiar with the blog app so my current approach for to create a products page, cart page for which the relevant slug can be passed to.

Looking at the sample templates / examples - everything is passed to folders: For example .../shop/products/product_slug Whereas the code I am building will process from here: .../shop/products/products.html?s=product_slug

This will mean I will need to update all the templates.

I feel like there something fundamental I am missing or is this just what you need to do?

[apologises if this is a stupid question to you perch Jedi's].

I don't follow this part:

Do you mean you've built your templates and now need to change the URLs?

So the default templates that come with the app, for example: ./perch/addons/apps/perch_shop/templates/shop/products/list.html

Am I correct in thinking ...

<a href="/shop/products/<perch:shop id="slug" type="slug" />/">

I'd would need to edit this and the other templates to

<a href="/shop/products/products.html?s=<perch:shop id="slug" type="slug" />/">

or is there something obvious I am missing that would mean I wouldn't need to do that?

Paul,

How many products are you expecting in this shop?
