boysss Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I have attached the pictures of the template. As you can see, it has "search box" "category box", "Featured product box"... Those are all infoboxes I need. My question is how do I integrate the template to the installed standard OScommerce to make my web site looks exactly like that template and be fully fuctional? Thank you so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsruok Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Your template package should include installation instructions. If not, then search your template provider web pages for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizardsandwars Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Yes, you'll need to hack the html of the template into pices, and insert them into the appropriate places in osC. header.php footer.php column_left.php column_right.php index.php Also, you can use add all of the styelsheet elements of the template to stylesheet.css. In some cases, you'll have to paste the static html code in to the right stop of osC, and then embedd the php from the stock cart into th html to 'pull' the dynamic elements through. Integrating a standard HTML template into osC can be challenging for a beginner level programmer. There's really not a eas yway to do it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: As of Oct 2006, I'm not as active in this forum as I used to be, but I still work with osC quite a bit. If you have a question about any of my posts here, your best bet is to contact me though either Email or PM in my profile, and I'll be happy to help.

Guest Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 The simplest way would be to use STS, it still requires a bit of hacking, you would need to slice the image (using PSP Photoshop etc), it will probably take you about 20-30 hours to get anywhere near integrated (you will need to strip out the buttons, apply dummy buttons, etc). Definitely doable, and how I started out. Is this for your own site? Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I can use STS to make the my oscommerce site looks like the template by simple changing the .html file included in the contribution. I am not too sure how to hack to integrate the template to the category box, best offer, featured product... I am a novice user of php coding. I only know HTML coding and how to use dreamweaver... but I would like to learn. It is for my friend's web site. I am helping him out. The template comes with a psd file. Do you guys know any guideline for what I want to achieve here? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 In case you have fireworks you could slice it, but as other say be prepared to put a lot of effort into it. Apart of the slicing you will need customizations to control the layers and effects and finally the rest of the pages like category/products listing have to be consistent so you will need to create nice frames and such. You should also have other pages with all the control icons etc. and those should be already sliced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
