Removing the excess

Can I completly remove certain elements an osCommerce shop?

 

for example, from a vanilla install (or fresh install), can I just remove the Categories, what's new, manufacturers, quick find, reviews, etc etc, straight from the code? will this mess anything up? Can I reposition things if I wanted by putting the function calls in different areas? Thanks!

Yes - if you know what you are doing :P

 

You can comment out boxes in /includes/column_left.php and column_right.php - thats where most people start.

 

You can move code around a surprising amount without breaking the store. Why not just do a test installation and have a good play? - its fun! :D

Right ahead of you! :)

 

The tough part though is removing, or changing the top and bottom bars (top>catalog).....

 

Also, I can't find how to get rid of the Upcoming products list, and the New products for April list (or whatever month it is).... anysuggestions?

you will find the 'breadcrumb' and top bar in /includes/header.php - the other is in footer.php

 

The upcoming products and new products files are in the /includes/modules/ directory - you can simply make these files blank (untested!)

You should check out the tips and tricks area, lots of great information, as well as the knowledgease. I learned a lot just from reading posts and got ideas I would never have thought of on my own for making osc look and feel like I wanted, and run even better than it already does. =)
