Guest Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 I have meesed around with the oscommerce and it appears to do everyting you need. Can anyone recommend whether paypal is any good or would it be better to sign up to one of the others such as world pay orafternic to accept credit card payments. Also I am interested to know how you would change the background colour and text on every page. Any help and tricks greatly appreciated, do most people here edit there php pages in notepad or is there a better way to do it?
niknakgroup Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 I only ever use notepad as it is the only way I can absolutely guarantee that what you put in is what gets saved. Sometimes this is bad, as it means none of my errors get ironed out by clever software which will spot it and correct it, or highlight the fact I have cocked up! The PayPal question is very subjective, it depends a lot on what you already have, whether your store has enough trade to warrant a merchant account, what your target customers are comfortable using and personal preferences..... Background colour on every page? Easy, in stylesheet.css, add this line (at the top) BODY { background: #ffffff; } that gives you a white background, change the #ffffff to any hexidecimal code to get the colour you want. To change the text amend the styles definied in stylesheet.css It swell worth spending a couple of hours playing with your stylesheet to see what effect it has - you can make major changes to your site very quickly using this method, just make sure you take a backup so if you go wrong, you can always go back! For some really cool stylesheet tricks, take a look at www.csszengarden.com Please note - if I have suggested a contrib above, it doesnt mean it will work! Most of the contribs are not ones I've used, but may be useful for your particular problem.... Have you tried a refined search? Chances are your problem has already been dealt with elsewhere on the forums..... if (stumped == true) { return(square_one($start_over) } else { $random_query = tep_fetch_answer($forum_query) }
