KernelXP Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Hey guys, Started developing my store this week and would like some criticism on how to improve things, template was made by Algozone. My Store
stovenator Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 I like the sleek design. It opens slow for me, but I'm on the other side of the pond. Warning: main(includes/functions/general.php): failed to open stream: Too many open files in /home/httpd/vhosts/ritesolutions.com.au/httpdocs/store/includes/application_top.php on line 121 Warning: main(includes/functions/general.php): failed to open stream: Too many open files in /home/httpd/vhosts/ritesolutions.com.au/httpdocs/store/includes/application_top.php on line 121 Warning: main(includes/functions/general.php): failed to open stream: Too many open files in /home/httpd/vhosts/ritesolutions.com.au/httpdocs/store/includes/application_top.php on line 121 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/functions/general.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/httpd/vhosts/ritesolutions.com.au/httpdocs/store/includes/application_top.php on line 121 I didn't like the error message. It did that to me a couple different times, and I had to reload the page (which then worked fine). I think the new products section stretches a little too far. You might try limiting the number of items allowed in that box. The images for the categories don't match at all with the rest of the site. Way too cartoony. The image for the harddrive ad is also a little different (maybe the color? I dunno), but not too bad. One thing I'm not too fond of, (and this is an OSC default) is that the category headings in the left and right navigation bars are not clickable. Only the little arrow is. That annoys me for some reason. The "Buy Now" buttons - I think the text is too high on them. Especially if you compare them to the "sign in" button, which is centered. Overall, I like the design. Its a nice sleek look. Mark Stover http://www.tastelesstshirts.com

KernelXP Posted April 13, 2005 Author Posted April 13, 2005 I see what you mean by the buttons, this must have something to do with the template, I may have to contact Algozone to work out a solution. Regarding the errors, I'm not getting them at all when I view the site, is anyone else having the same errors?
AfterDark Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 So you installed an algozone template... and? Please make use of our time a bit better.
KernelXP Posted April 13, 2005 Author Posted April 13, 2005 So you installed an algozone template... and? Please make use of our time a bit better. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No need to be snotty, I was just asking for advice on what else to improve on the site and if anyone was experience errors.
FalseDawn Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Site seems incredibly slow - are you on a shared server?
KernelXP Posted April 14, 2005 Author Posted April 14, 2005 Site seems incredibly slow - are you on a shared server? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No but the server is based in Australia, here it loads pretty quickly on Dial-up and broadband.
Guest Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 :) Looks good to me. A little busy but good. Is that a template your using? how did you go importing it? Well done, I like it.

Well done, I like it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey webhost, Yeah it?s a template and was very easy to import. I'm not very good at designing sites so I decided to use a template and modify it as I go along. When you say it?s busy, do you mean the New Products for April section of the site?
Guest Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 yes , around the middle area of the screen. To much writing and pictures. But im being a little fussy..
KernelXP Posted April 14, 2005 Author Posted April 14, 2005 yes , around the middle area of the screen. To much writing and pictures. But im being a little fussy.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hehe, I'll be limiting the amount of stock shown to about 4 or 5. The general feedback I've been getting is that there's too much on screen.
