How to triger "buynow" tag from a web apps?

[Vladimir77]

Hi,
I am trying to let user choose product atribute and buynow from web app . Does anybody know how to make it work?

The tag will only work in eCommerce module. 

So the workaround is to add the product module within the web app item. 

Ensuring that you have the buy now tag applied to the product view...

So that when the system displays the product you'll have the button as required. 

Hope this is helpful!

Hi, Sidney,

Thank you for your post!

This work around looks like should work but the point is that web apps do not works with 'buynow' tag within web apps  . The button appears but do not work, as it should especially redirects to shopping cart.

My idea is very simple just to be able buy a product from web app detail layout . like http://www.tribevita.com/adobe-business-catalyst-templates/e-commerce/wee-adore

how to do it?

Tags and their function only work in their respective and documented layouts. Simple as that. There is other elements to make them function etc. If it renders in a web app that is actually a bug not intended.

Sydney has given you the basics on how to do it with web apps and products.

Liam,

Sorry, but I do not undestand. The basics given by Sidney do not work, it displays only buttons but do not functioning within web app.

So, the question is if a tag "buy now " should work within layout or not? If 'No' what is the best workaround to archive the result? e.g the same product tag works fine within a static page but do not work within web apps.

ok, Hard to work out what you were refering too.

Well You also need to include this javascript in your layout:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://sydcdn.worldsecuresystems.com/CatalystScripts/Java_OnlineShopping.js"></script>

Support pointed me in the right direction: Javascripts as Liam indicated, but more...
