Elaina Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 For my OSCommerce site, what HTML editor should I be using to make changes?? I was told that Front page doesn't work well with it because it leaves extra code. What works the best? Sorry, I am new at all this. I didn't put this site together, someone else did, and I bought it from them, so I am catching up.
bglkk Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 There is very little HTML to view in osC's php files, so an ordinary text editor can do the job. I use Dreamweaver myself (because I've got it), but always just in Code View. Beyond Compare is really really handy to have--more than an editor, it highlights the differences between two versions of the same file. Once you start putting in lots of modifications you'll depend on it. "Buy the ticket, take the ride..." -HST
Elaina Posted August 7, 2004 Author Posted August 7, 2004 Thank you so much!! Where would I go to find beyond compare?

conrad10781 Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 I am a big fan of wordpad if you are using windows <_<
♥bruyndoncx Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 UltraEdit 30d trial, 30$ shareware works with all kinds of programming languages and has compare and built-in FTP options KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON I do not use the responsive bootstrap version since i coded my responsive version earlier, but i have bought every 28d of code package to support burts effort and keep this forum alive (albeit more like on life support). So if you are still here ? What are you waiting for ?! Find the most frequent unique errors to fix: grep "PHP" php_error_log.txt | sed "s/^.* PHP/PHP/g" |grep "line" |sort | uniq -c | sort -r > counterrors.txt
alyshia Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 I've been using NOTEPAD -which opens as the default when you clickon "View" in Ws_FPT. (but it doesn't check the php code to ensure it's valid, so I would suggest you make a BACKUP before doing this) good luck!
