How to start

[laszlo_m]

Hi,

 

I'm new to the forum and to osCommerce as well. I've got the product installed and it is working but I'm just not sure how to customize the store front such as company logo/name, first page, shipping info etc. These are the things I'm running into. I don't know how setup the welcome page either.

 

Is there any documentation on this? The only thing I can find is how to setup catalog, admin tasks.

 

Thanks,

 

Laszlo

The osCommerce knowledge base will be of great help to you, for tasks such as changing logo and front main text etc:

There is the knowledge base, there is a link in my sig. Pick something you want to change ( one thing at a time) do a search then if you cannot find the answer go ahead and ask. Once you get that one thing done move on to the next change.

 

 

Your logo can be changed in your includes/header.php file look for the following line

 

<td valign="middle"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'oscommerce.gif', 'osCommerce') . '</a>'; ?> </td>

 

 

Change the oscommerce.gif to the name of your logo file and osCommerce to whatever alt text you want to use.

 

Most of the colors are set in the stylesheet and you can find a list of all the classes and what they control in the knowledge base.

 

Good luck
