tonsam888 Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I have had a very bad experience with oscommerce. I had to abandon ship at one time, but came back even without any experience in programming and coding I could not be 'beaten' by a software! My shop is here: EROSHOP But surffer the following: 1. Some of the pages in the information box go AWOL at any time they like and never come back! 2. I cannot find where to change the 'home' at the top left hand of the header to point to my mainpage. Click on it ponits to my hosts page if it can find it! It was easy to do before! 3. osCommerce has even refused to list my shop in the Live shops section! How many months or is it years between submitting a new shop and listing? If by chance you have an answer to any of the above questions, I would be glad to know. Thanks. Ton

tonsam888 Posted March 24, 2006 Author Posted March 24, 2006 What is your shop about? I had a quick look and don't really understand what you are selling?! --Peter Hi Peter, Thanks for taking a look. You said you "don't really understand" does it mean you did not 'see' any products or there is not sufficent information about the products or that magnotherapic products are new to you? On the other hand are you just been diabolically sarcastic? Ton
rommany Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I can see why osC has not listed you site, it is unclear what you are selling. you have the ssl on ever page and when i click on the home i get : Welcome to vDeck... your images are out of focus when i click on the germany icon i get this warning. Warning: main(includes/languages/german/business_opportunity.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/rss-blog/public_html/eroshop/catalog/business_opportunity.php on line 15 Warning: main(includes/languages/german/business_opportunity.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/rss-blog/public_html/eroshop/catalog/business_opportunity.php on line 15 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/languages/german/business_opportunity.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/rss-blog/public_html/eroshop/catalog/business_opportunity.php on line 15 if i click on a product i get this error Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';', expecting ')' in /home/rss-blog/public_html/eroshop/catalog/includes/boxes/our_sponsors_box.php on line 31 i have to scroll to the right to see the right hand side, i think the google ad looks to long, and the header looks cheap. I'm sure i could stop a few other problems, but at the moment i think you have enough to get on with. Apart from that well done.. Regards
♥Vger Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Is this the BEST Oscommerce Shop EVER?, what do you think? That was a joke ....right? Vger
greatlakes Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 First off i would say fix the banner,its way too big.
♥peterpil19 Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 Hi Peter,Thanks for taking a look. You said you "don't really understand" does it mean you did not 'see' any products or there is not sufficent information about the products or that magnotherapic products are new to you? On the other hand are you just been diabolically sarcastic? Ton What I mean is, your store is called RSS Blogger. So automatically I think that your store sells blog or news rss related merchanise. However, the intro goes on about magnotherapy, the featured item is some sort of health drink, and then there is a picture of a horse. Customers don't waste time looking for things they need, so make it obvious what your store is actually selling. --Peter CE PHOENIX SUPPORTER Support the Project, go PRO and get access to certified add ons Full-time I am a C-suite executive of a large retail company in Australia.

kitchenniche Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 You need to do something with your images. Why can i enlarge them to seem them smaller than before? HIM - Dark Light - Out on 26/09/05
Chance Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 All diabolical sarcasm aside, Man, that's a terrible ecommerce site. Read the posts in my signature, all of the points apply to your store. My advice comes in two flavors- Pick the one that won't offend you. Hard and Cynical: How to Make a Horrible osCommerce Site Warm and Fuzzy: How to Make an Awesome osCommerce Site
tonsam888 Posted April 5, 2006 Author Posted April 5, 2006 Hey thanks all for all the comments. But behind the eye catching headline was a serious request for help! But with possible exception of rommany no one offered a solution! Oh, how people love to criticise. I have seen worst sites listed by oscommerce. But I still think EROSHOP? is among the very top 1% of the coolest oscommerce shops . Ton
FatCarl Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 ... is among the very top 1% of the coolest oscommerce shops . Ton Okay seriously, tell me you are joking?? I'd put it in the bottom 20%. Here's just a quick list of things you need to fix: 1. Why have every page SSL encrypted? Besides that, they aren't even fully encrypted. 2. The product images are terrible. Get a thumbnail contribution, and get some decent images to use. 3. When you view a product, the right column is HUGE (likely because the manufacturer image is large). So instead of focusing on the product, I am instead immediately drawn to the massive right side, and I barely even notice the tiny column that actually shows the product information. 4. I don't like the colors. The site is just too "Busy". It's quite distracting. 5. Magneto therapy... magnetic conditioners for hot water heaters? Do people actually believe and buy that stuff? 6. Product descriptions - where are they?? I have no idea what 90% of your products are even for, or why I would want them. This is just a partial list, but it gives you a start. I don't intent to be mean or anything, but you need a bit of a reality check before you go pouring a ton of time and money into this site. It's better that we set you straight now, before you lose everything :(
Guest Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 put bluntly no its crap... There are so many things about this site it will take too much time start with those links above.
