converting templates

to create your custom templates, it's on right hand column on the listing page http://www.auctiva.com/listings/landing.aspx

direct link to create a template http://www.auctiva.com/listings/template_createcustom.aspx

once you have custom templates saved on system, when listing an item, click the select template link then in top left box on template page highlight "custom"

on a side note, you can create profiles to use when listing and specify which template to use, so if you make a few profiles you can list an item using profile in just a couple of mins. (however long it takes you to do description)

for custom templates, the auctiva tags are available on the left hand side. just click which type of tag you want and it autoinserts it into your custom template. if there's a tag you want that's not in there, the complete list of tags is at http://www.auctiva.com/listings/template_tags.aspx

to convert a custom template to be auctiva compatible, just use that list of tags to match up what tags you need and replace SD/IF tag with corresponding auctiva tag.

hope that helps donna, wahm, and magie all 3 have extensive experience in converting SD/IF templates to auctiva templates. So if you need more help, i'm sure they will be happy to help ya.

Hi Donna, nice to see you!

WOW pretty much covered it

But if I recall after I moved my templates over Auctiva staff added a handy little feature that will actually convert your SD template for you, well at least the tags it does, you would still need to change your image URL's used for the backgrounds in the templates.

Only problem I had was Auctiva doesn't support the C2E code that was used on SD so any of those templates needed to be recoded.

If you want to send me an email with one of your templates I can plug it in and change it for you so you can see how its done. However I am off to get busy listing after my day at the beach. Had to clear the mind to get ready for .20 listing day

Hello all,

I don't want to jump the gun to much here but I also wanted to start mentioning that somethings are about to change with the release of our 1.5 version tomorrow. In this instance the thing to watch out for, is there will be a few additional tags available, for inserting information into your template. For example, and this is probably the most significant thing to note, the old tag [SHIP_PAY_DETAILS]will no longer exist, but will be replaced by two seperate tags, 1. [SHIPPING], 2.[PAYMENT] as well as the addition of 3.[TERMS_OF_SALE], 4.[ABOUT_ME] and [Contact_Us].

Some of you are or will wonder what this will effect with reguards to your "Shipping and Payment Details". Any of these profiles you saved in the past will be converted to show up under "Terms of Sale". There was no way to convert this previously combined section into two different tags.

Having said this, we hope you realize that our intention was not to create problems for you but rather to increase the abilities for you to market your product and yourselves better.

These new tags will become available by mid day tomorrow when the latest version of the site goes live. One thing to add- This will not affect any of your listing that are already posted or posted before the latest version goes live!

For those that would like to see a sneek preview of what these fields will look like, check out the thread here that gives details on how to view the beta site:
