burt Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Extend the header and footer full width. Change the a:hover colour in the stylesheet. Colour scheme is good, Products are good. I am sure that this: http://www.cheeplinux.com/product_info.php?products_id=260 is not 500cm tall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also changed the hover colour - I deliberated long & hard, but you've swayed my decision. Thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantourin Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Please forgive my ignorance, I am an osCommerce newbie and know very little php.... How did you do your site design? Did you use STS? Or did you do more exhaustive modifications? Thanks in advance for you help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you use STS? Or did you do more exhaustive modifications? Thanks in advance for you help! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It took quite a long time with extensive modifications to a lot of files - hopefully we've managed to get away from the standard "look" of oscommerce, but without losing the "feel". I've done several open source websites now (mambo etc) so modifying oscommerce came reasonably easily. I don't think there are too many shortcuts - you don't really need to know php, but you do need to understand (some) css & html. The best thing to do is set up a local webserver using phpdev or something similar (this installs apache webserver with php, mysql etc onto your pc), install oscommerce and start modifying it. If everything goes pear shaped, just reinstall from scratch & try again. A lot of the development involved searching through files for certain strings or variables (to find out where to make changes.) the best advice I can give is to use a good text editor - my preference is Editplus, although PSPad is also very good. these allow you to search through multiple file, they highlight the html/php code and make the job a whole lot easier. I'm pretty sure both are available for free download. You can download phpdev from http://www.firepages.com.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantourin Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Many thanks. Your site is very nice. I aspire to generate something just as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
