Admin layout does not look right, Categories combine....

[dollyhudnall]

I am very new to this and have A LOT to learn. I have installed the osCommerce with Fantastico from my site cpanel. As I look through the online knowledge base to figure out how to do something, the layout of the program looks much different than what I have. Version installed: (2.2 MS2 (051113). I assume this contains the recent update.

 

Allthough it is not a big deal, all navigation in the admin area is down the left hand side not across the top like it is in the knowledge base.

 

Main concerns:

 

The products link in the Catalog area is combine with the categories. When I get to the products it only shows the status (red & green dots) and action column (i icon). I do not see the price or qty. I have a blank box for the weight. Adding a new product is a very basic page no tabs for options. Product attributes is a totally different page.

 

Link to page of reference in knowledge base: http://www.oscommerce.info/kb/osCommerce/A...ool/Catalog/147

 

There are other thisng that do not look right but this is a start.

 

Have I done something wrong or is there something I have to enable? Could it be a setting in my computer possibly?

 

Thanks in advance,

Dolly

I have never seen an osC admin screen like showed in that KB page. My guess is that the writer is using a "will it ever get here" MS3 baselevel.

 

That's the problem with wiki-style documentation - it's too easy to be inconsistent.

 

Your layout is the standard method in 2.2-MS2.

Thank you. I was getting worried and will be keeping an eye out for the MS3 update. MS3 will save a lot of time when it gets here!

 

I did find a post about the 2.2 MS2 And 2.2 MS3 Incompatibilities. I remember reading that the knowledge base was up to date with the current version. Must be up to date with the MS3 release when ever that finally happens!

Thanks again,

I would not hold my breath waiting for MS3, and I think a lot of people won't go through the effort of migrating as the incompatibilities are significant.
