My WebShop This is a live site has been for a while but only really started playing with oscommerce recently.

 

Contributions Installed :

 

Featured Products 1.5.4

Clear Stats (Admin)

Categories Enhanced

Loginbox 2.2a

Meta Tag Controller 1.1

Quantity Price Breaks Per Product

Royal Mail Postal Prices

Sort Product Attributes

Star Product 1.5

Supertracker 3.2

Who's Online Enhancement 1.6

Short Description in Product Listing 2.1

Fixed Width

Generic Buttons (My Own)

Changed most stock graphics

Display IP address in footer

 

Also SSL

 

Plus others I have forgotton about.

 

Tried PWA, didnt like it, instead I have gone with cutting out 'login.php' and 'create_account_success.php' from the checkout procedure. Also tried the mod where shipping and payment options were on the same page and again I didnt like the look. Infact I tried many mods and then binned them afterwards.

 

Things I intend to do :

 

Get more away from the stock OSC look finding it difficult as i know no php.

Create new header logo current one a bit plain

Get a merchant account to take card payments directly

Improve some of the images recently I been doing a better job but some of the old stuff needs new images really

 

Also considering getting a 0845 local rate number, also can anyone recommend a simple livehelp contrib that indicates online/offline status? I tried a few and they either didnt advise status or were 'too much'

 

Further Contributions I intend to install :

 

SEO Friendly URLs

Image thumbnailer

 

If anyone can point me in the right direction with these :

 

I want to change the look of the product info page, i want a different layout. I have no idea how to.

 

I want to make only the price text size larger on the product listing page so it stands out more

 

I want to incorporate the introduction text on the front page into a box, i tried news contribs but they were just too much for this simple (to some) task

 

My read review button returns a blank page ??????

 

I know the PO Box isnt good but thats how it is for now.

 

Thanks in advance for your constructive criticism and advice!

 

Ps i considered not putting a topic description on this thread to keep the costs down .... I've been spending to much time on ebay lol

This is actually a very good job for a fairly stock site...

 

The colours go well and the fixed width is perfect down to a T. The logo doesn't detract people away from the rest of the store however I would remove the SSL infobox and use the image to put on the header on the right to the logo, just above the account, cart, checkout links

 

It's good all in all

Upon receiving fixes and advice, too many people don't bother to post updates informing the forum of how it went. Until of course they need help again on other issues and they come running back!

 

Why receive the information you require in good faith for free, only to then have the attitude to ignore the people who gave it to you?

 

There's no harm in saying, 'Thanks, it worked'. On the contrary, it creates a better atmosphere.
