customizing look

[Shambala]

I noticed many stores are customized in such a way that the storefront does not have banners to osCommerce's main site nor does it say: "osCommerce Powered by osCommerce" at the bottom or the top.

 

such as at: http://www.croppinparadise.com/

 

Is this done in an easy manner or must you edit files directly such as:

~user/public_html/includes/languages/english.php

 

2.) This specific example store replaced items on the right hand side which are setup as default such as:

Notifications

Reviews

Languages

Currencies

 

with things like:

 

My account (this includes login, subscribe to newsletter, what's in my cart, & Event Calander)

Shopping Cart

What's New?

Product Search

Recently Viewd Products

Best Sellers

 

Any idea how I can do this?

 

 

Thanks,

The Powered by line is in includes/english.php. You are not supposed to remove it unless you have changed the design of your shop significantly.

 

Each one of those is an infobox. If you look in the inlcudes/column_left.php and column_right.php files, you will see the code that places those boxes. Delete, add or move as desired.

Jack,

 

Where do I find other info boxes such as the ones that I mentioned above which the other site used. Are they already a function of the standard oscommerce or must I find them as modules? Once installed, how do I know what code to put in those two files when I replace those info boxes?

 

Thanks,

All related box files can be found in catalog/includes/boxes folder and catalog/include/classes/boxes.php

 

Good luck! :thumbsup:

To add the best sellers box the code is either

include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'best_sellers.php');

or

require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'best_sellers.php');

Either method will work. To find what boxes are available, look in includes/boxes. Whatever the name of the file name is, oyu can plug in to one of the above lines in place of the best_sellers.php. Some boxes only show up under certain situations though, like best_sellers.
