Guest Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 :'( I own the small business. I have a few sites. I want to start using OS Commerce for a few new sites. I have a dedicated server. I enabled OS Commerce (latest version) and installed it on one of my new domains. I was able to figure out that I had to go to mydomain.com/admin and then login to get to the admin panel. I've opened every link and have clicked around making little changes here and there. This is pretty straight forward. I've got to remove all the categories that are in there (and the products) about DVD's and such, make the index page the right page (it's now the domain.com/oscommerce page I'm changing) change text, add new text pages, remove the language menu, modify the template, etc etc. Ok, I'm not a total moron :rolleyes: but I have no idea where to start. I don't know php or mysql although I know html. I'm sure there are some good ideas in these posts, and I've been reading them here and there. The thing is when I want to do something specific it's hard to find out what to do. I know I can probably do this myself. Is there someplace or some document I can download/view and read for someone like me? Like, OS Commerce for dummies or something? I can follow step by step instructions. I know the answer is out there. I'm just having trouble finding it. Someone point me in the right direction? Thanks, QUI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy James Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 There is a link in my signature for MS2 documentation. That will help you with the basics. Don't let the fact that it is PHP get you feeling overwhelmed. Once you start looking around at the pages and code it should start to make sense to you. :) Good luck and if you run into something you are unsure of just post the question here. There are a bunch of great people who are smart, have used osCommerce for a long time and help others. Wendy James Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

That will help you with the basics. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi Wendy, Followed the link and have saved the pdf. Thanks for that. I think it'll get me started for sure. I've begun printing it out, and after I get into this thing I'll be back with more questions. I'm really excited about all this! Thanks again Wendy, QUI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
