w3shop Columns page

We've created 7 Columns page types for each theme:

These all have a header cell which spans across the page and either 2, 3 or 4 columns underneath. Choose the number of columns you'd like and the portion of the page they take up (Left 67%, right 33% for instance) and then edit:
 

You can fill each column with as much or as little content - text or images - as you like. These page types give you the most freedom of layout - fill with a grid of images, write a super long article or use the left column for images and fill the right with text.

w3shop Header links

Header links are a special page type you can use on your w3shop to add extra links on the top of your w3shop. These header links use redirections, see Resource Article 5028 for more details.

To add a header link, create a new page on Workgroup > Customers > Categories & Microsites > View/Amend > Microsite Pages > Create.

This will then appear on your top menu.

Your Sign in, Sign out and Register links will all appear as pages, giving you the ability to change the sort order, text or link. Be careful making any changes, the automatically generated choice was selected as best practice. Only make changes to these if needed.

Who can view the links?

To make the most of the header links, you'll want to change the context they can be viewed in.

All Microsite Pages can choose to be available to different sets of users.

By default, your pages and links are available to Everyone. You can also make them only available to Signed in users or Signed out users.

If a link is only available to Signed in users (always visible), a signed out user will be taken to the registration page first.
