Empty Cache Now
Check this box and press the <save all changes> button to
empty your cpshop cache, which includes all the files in your "cpcache" directory stored by single. This is something you

the changes to appear immediately in your cpshop store.

Store Name
The name of your store, in text only. No HTML. |

Display Language
The language you'd like displayed in your store. Most items will be translated to this language, though some text (like Product Information) won't. |
|
|
Default Store Keywords
The keywords for your main page, also used on other pages if you don't enter store keywords. In the template for your store, use the <[keywords]> tag. |
Example: cats, dogs, shirts, hats, stuff to buy
Usage: <meta name=keywords value="<[keywords]>"> |
|
Default Store Description
The description for your main page, also used on other pages if you don't enter a store description. In the template for your store, use the <[description]> tag. |
Example: Looking for shirts on animals? Look here!
Usage: <meta name=description value="<[description]>"> |
|
Error Page URL
If cpshop has trouble connecting to CafePress, it will redirect your customers to this page. If you leave this blank, cpshop will display the maintenance message. |
Example: http://cgi.marty.net/sorry.html |
|
Default HTML Template
The default template for the site. If you leave this blank, cpshop will use its own boring template. |
Example: cptemplate.html or /htdocs2/1001/cgi/marty/cpshop/cpadmin_files/ cptemplate.html |
|
Default Font Attributes
The default font attributes for links, captions, etc. |
Example: face="arial,helvetica,verdana" size=2 |

Example: 500 or 100% |
|
Use Clean Store URLs
If you keep getting strange error messages saying that you haven't generated
a .config file, you should set this to "use query strings." Otherwise, set it to "use clean store URLs."
(Note: Windows servers do NOT support clean URLs, so be sure to set this to "use query strings.")
use clean store URLs (with a "/")
use query strings with store URLs (with a "?i=") |
|
Cache Expiration Time
The length of time, in weeks, that cpshop should cache files from CafePress' server.
This really doesn't need to be frequent at all; in fact, it's a better experience for your customers if it's rarely updated.
(Instead, you should empty the cache manually when you make changes to your store.)
Refresh cpshop's data every |
|
Primary Cache Size
The maximum disk space (in MB) that the primary cache is allowed to use to store product page data. It can fill up pretty quickly, and performance can degrade if the folder gets too big. I recommend setting this to somewhere between 10 and 50 MB. |
Example: 25 (or 0 for no limit) |
|
Output Cache Size
The maximum disk space (in MB) that the output cache is allowed to fill. It can fill up pretty quickly, and performance can degrade if the folder gets too big. I recommend setting this to somewhere between 20 and 100 MB. Note: only applicable if you have a correctly configured cpoutput directory. |
Example: 50 (or 0 for no limit) |

Homepage Thumbnail Grid Layout
The HTML code for an individual store ID entry thumbnail cell on the homepage. (Only for use in stores with multiple store ID entries.) This should start with a <td> and end with a </td>, unless you're hiding the thumbnail grid table wrapper code (below). |
If you don't know HTML, you should probably leave this section alone. |
|
Product Thumbnail Grid Layout
The HTML code for an individual product thumbnail cell in the thumbnail grid. This should start with a <td> and end with a </td>, unless you're hiding the thumbnail grid table wrapper code (below). |
If you don't know HTML, you should probably leave this section alone. |

If you don't know HTML, you should probably leave this section alone too. |
|
Display Thumbnail Grid Table Wrapper Code?
cpshop usually generates the surrounding HTML table code for thumbnail grids, including <table> and <tr> tags. You can choose to suppress these tags, if you want do something creative with the grid layouts (like use floating divs), but be aware that it'll break the "Number of Thumbnail Columns" option above.
yes, display cpshop's standard thumbnail grid table HTML
no, don't generate the standard thumbnail grid table HTML -- instead, use the following HTML before and after the grid:
|

|
Product Page Greeting
The greeting on an individual product page. It's usually a good idea to tell them about the "Zoom In" link here. |
Example: If you want to get a closer look, click the "Zoom In" link below. |
|
Product Image Box Color
Normally there's a white box encompassing the product image and the front/back & zoom links. You can change the color of that box here, or enter "none" (without the quotes) to make the box transparent. Note: It won't change the color of the product image graphic. |
Example: #FFFFFF or white or none |
|
Order Form Box Color
Basic shops have a yellow background behind the order form. If you want a background color, set it here. |
Example: #FFFFFF or white or none |
|
Display Order Form On Right Side Of Page?
This option allows you to have the order form appear in a third column to the right of the product description, as it does in basic shops. (Note: It will make the page wider.)
yes, display the order form on the right side of the page, like in basic shops
no, display the order form above the product description, like in premium shops |
|
Show Front And Back Of Product Simultaneously?
This option allows you to have the secondary product image (usually the back) appear beneath the primary one, instead of using the "click to view front/back" links.
show front and back of image at the same time (for double-sided items only)
use "click to view front/back" links |
|
Show "View Larger Image" and "More Details" Links?
Normally an individual product page offers links to a more details popup window, with a larger version of the image, and other information. You can leave those links as is, or disable them entirely.

hide "View Larger Image" and "More Details" links |
|
Show "Tell A Friend About This Product" Link?

show "Email Friend About This Product" link
hide "Email Friend About This Product" link |
|
Show Product Information Content?
At the bottom of product pages you'll find CafePress-provided promotional text about their production (like the kind of fabric they use, how "comfy" they are, yada yada yada). This option can hide all that (somewhat useful) content.
show product information
hide product information |
|
Show Currency Converter Link?
The currency converter is a pop-up window produced by XE.com, which allows your customers to automatically convert a price from US dollars to their currency. Converter links generally appear wherever there's a price. It's handy for non-US visitors who'd like to know how much .99 is, exactly.
show currency converter link using this text:
don't show currency converter link |

Breadcrumb delimiters:
Separate breadcrumb sections with in the main breadcrumb, and in the title breadcrumb

|

yes, open credit and referral links in new windows
no, open credit and referral links in the same window |

SEOify links? (experimental!)
cpshop can use page titles to generate SEO-friendly URLs that relate to the content of the page, which may improve SEO positioning.
use built-in SEO-friendly URLs, and end them with
append this text to the end of each cpshop URL:
no, use standard cpshop URLs |
|
Try to fix outdated links?
cpshop can try to guess what to do with outdated URLs. (It isn't always right, but it can try, can't it?)
yes, attempt to determine best page to display (default behavior)
no, return "404: Page Not Found" error, with this message:
no, redirect to this URL:
append requested URL path to redirect URL (be careful of endless loops!) |
|
Block Dynamic Direct Linking?
You can link directly to cpshop with store IDs that you haven't pre-entered through cpadmin. However,
if you want to prevent this from ever happening, then you can choose to actively block it below.
block dynamic direct linking
allow dynamic direct linking |
|
Display nested subsections in sidebar?
If you use the <[sidebar]> tag in your template, you can choose to display all nested subsections, or just the top-level options in your sidebar menu.
yes, display all nested subsections in my sidebar
expand to display nested subsections within the current page's path
no, don't display nested subsections in my sidebar |
|
Process Hooks?
Hooks are a neato feature that allow you to specify content in your template based on the type and content of the page. However, since using hooks may (very slightly) impact processing time, you can enable/disable them here.
process hooks in template and code
ignore hooks completely |
|
Display "Now Loading" screen during CP data downloads?
If cpshop takes a while to load information from CafePress, you can choose to have cpshop display a "now loading" message during the download.
The message will disappear when the page is done loading, and the page will display as usual.
yes, display "now loading" screen during data downloads, using this HTML:
no, do not display "now loading" screen during data downloads |

CSS Style Override
If you want to include a stylesheet (internal or external) or javascript after cpshop's internal styles, enter it here. |
