Theme Modification

[Grumpy]

Hi, I'm new the osCommerce and is attempting to modify the looks of the site. Currently, it looks same as default and i'm trying to modify it to make it look like:

http://digitables.net/template

The plan is to modify the boxes to fit the template, and then just add them in at places (with some difference from template of course).

There is a problem however with the boxes. I'll take categories.php in catalog/includes/boxes/ for example. When you open it, you see the table codes

 ? ? ? ? ?<tr>
? ? ? ? ? ?<td>
<? php ..... ?>
? ? ? ? ? ?</td>
? ? ? ? ?</tr>

as a frame around the entire thing.

Then where is the <table> </table> codes? From where is this file being called and by what method?

 

and one more thing.

 

Where ever there is a link, it seems to have one of these....

osCsid=ac866a2537f7863c15223becaf0df157

or something like it in the address. How is that generated and what does it actually do?

I don't seem to find any difference when getting rid of them. :unsure:

 

Thanks

Peter to get an osc site to look like that template isnt impossible but would require a lot of changes to the stock osc files, I have done a lot of osc modifications my latest site:

 

http://www.supaosc.com/lazylizard/

 

This has unique layouts for fetaured specials and new products and a lot of messing to get em all working right.

 

osCsid is session identification

 

Good lick with your project ;)
