Is it possible to include the cart buttons on Facebook?

Sure, you will need a FaceBook app which lets you paste HTML code in your facebook page. I think there is a blog application in FaceBook which will let you do that.

Have added a cart on a Facebook page and pasted the code using into the FBML app.



"Add advanced functionality to your Page using the Facebook Static FBML application. This application will add a box to your Page in which you can render HTML or FBML (Facebook Markup Language) for enhanced Page customization."



The buttons are displayed fine, but I am bring redirected to another page, the shopping cart.

I would like the cart displayed in the way that is shown in the cool demo. I have read the troubleshooter on this issue and everything is fine.



Is there anyway to solve this issue?



Please advise.

Hi JJ,



You'll probably want to wait for confirmation from one of the official E-Junkie gurus on this one, but I am fairly certain that FaceBook works like MySpace and other such sites which allow you to use html code, but do not allow the use of javascript. For the E-Junkie cart to work in the slick "pop-up" style that you see in the demo, you need the javascript.



Unfortunately, this means that for FaceBook (and other sites like MySpace that do not allow javascript) the E-Junkie cart can only work as a redirection to the shopping cart's own page, and not as the cool "pop-up" that needs javascript.



That being said, being able to use sites like FaceBook and MySpace to promote your products is great, and being able to use the E-Junkie cart to do it is even better. :-)



Take care,

Andrew

The nice cart overlay screen will still work without the "raw" Javascript lines of our View Cart code, so long as this part of the View Cart code can still be pasted:



<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/box.js"></script>



...as that part is still plain HTML (it just points to a Javascript file on our server). If a site refuses to allow pasting even that line, then you'd want to use our non-JS button codes instead.

On FaceBook, you can't have this JS .. but our non JS code will work perfectly fine.

I must be lost. Is there a way to add the cart to my photos? I would like to be able to sell a few in one of my photo albums.

You would need to look for a Facebook application that lets you add HTML directly to a photo album page; I'm not aware of any such app, but that's what you'd need to look for if it's out there.
