Add Page: One of the pages in the Cart directory by which the BuyObjects link to the cart. For example, add.php, addframes.php, AddGroup.php.
php: Stands for "Active Server Pages", the Microsoft language in which CatalogIntegrator Cart is written.
Dummy: An imitation of the real thing, but not the real thing. The "CIModelUnix folder" site contains several dummy cart pages. These are supplied so you can link your BuyObjects while you are building your product pages. You can also test your BuyObject links by uploading them with your site to the server. But they do not have any of the functions of the real cart pages, because they are not the real cart pages. We occasionally get email from people who say they have uploaded the dummy pages to the server and they don't work, because the products and prices do not appear in them. They are not supposed to work. They are dummies.
SKU: StockKeeping Unit. The stock number of a particular product that allows it to be tracked for inventory purposes.
BuyObjects: Code snippets that connect the product on your page to the shopping cart. The code in the BuyObjects for CatalogIntegrator Cart is written as HTML forms. See also, Introduction and BuyObject Anatomy.
Gollem: Just the name of the folder that the external stylesheet is in. It comes from Lord of the Rings.
BuyObject Field Elements: The group of form elements that make up the inside part of a BuyObject, such as hidden fields for price, product name, product number, customer identification number (CustID) ... submit button, quantity input field, popup menus, checkboxes, and radio buttons. These elements all go inside the Form.
CustID: The customer identification number. This number is generated by CatalogIntegrator Cart. The value of the hidden field for it must be left blank so CatalogIntegrator can use it.
GoShip: A custom shipping calculation service. The interface for it is built into CatalogIntegrator.
Extend Script: An added functionality extension for GoLive. It is something like a plug-in. The CatalogIntegrator folder in this CatalogIntegrator BuyObjects Kit, that creates the BuyObjects Tab in the Objects Palette, is an Extend Script.
