Very New to OSCommerce

[ervinf]

This project was dumped in my lap, A guy developed this cart and now his customer needs updates and things but I am not sure what the cart is.

 

My investigation found something called dir_WS_include whicl turned up this forum.

 

 

My question

Where do I start?

How do i find our what is going on? Version? Support?

 

Any and all help for a newbie will be appreciated.

Open /catalog/includes/application_top.php and look for this code:

 

// define the project version
 define('PROJECT_VERSION', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx');

 

Where I've included the X's is where you should see the version number.

 

HTH,

Thanks for the hint,

I opened the file however I can not find the line of code.

This is what I need to accomplish:

1. Find out what the heck I am doing

then my client needs:

1st priority

Remove USD after prices in the product section. (both the thumbnails and the larger images)

 

Add banner ad at bottom of the wedding page above designed by SOZO. (the wedding page is under products > select a category > weddings)

 

Shipping isn?t being calculated (walk-through setting up an account so you can see how it works. When you add and item and then check out you will see that the shipping isn?t being calculated)

 

In the admin section of the site, when entering a new product description, that field needs to be lengthened to allow for a longer description (this description appears below the thumbnail of the images on the products page).

 

HELP !!

1. If you need to put USD before prices: Admin -> Localization -> Currencies ->select US Dollar -> Edit -> Symbol Right -> USD or $ and of courrse delete what's in the field Symbol Right. -> Update. If you need a space between $ and prices, just add a space (or try  ) after the $.

 

2. don't know much about weddings... sorry :D

 

3. you should include the weigth of each product in de database and configure Admin -> modules - shipping

 

4. Product description field should be large enough, or do you mean the product name field or the model name field? If you mean the latter, consult the knowledge base for a solution.

 

Hope this helps.
