I've finally instaled my OSCommerce. The problem is, the only things I know how to change are the itens, the product atributes, etc.

I'd really like to know where can I change:

The colors;

Shipping & Returns;

Privacy Notice;

Conditions of Use;

 

I know the answer is here somewhere, but I just can't find it... :s

 

I'm so sorry, but I've never worked on a website before.

But as a pointer for 5

 

Colours - catalog\stylesheet.css

the other thee catalog\shipping.php or Privacy.php or Conditions.php

That link defines the styles used in the stylesheet.css to modify yours look for the one you would like to change such as:

 

.boxText - Changes the font size of the text in all the boxes.

 

Look at your stylesheet you can change the font to which ever you like stock is 12, you can also change the font style to which ever you like. edit your file the ftp it back to your sever and refresh your page. You then will notice your changes.

For someone with no previous experience with websites it can be a little difficult indeed... :(

 

As for the :

Shipping & Returns;

Privacy Notice;

Conditions of Use;

 

go to each of their respective files, in the catalog/includes/language/english (folder),

the files are:

shipping.php

privacy.php

conditions.php

 

In each file you will find a line like this:

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', '');

 

The text that you want to be displayed in the page, whenever it's accessed should go between the second pair of single quotes:

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'text should go here!!');

 

You can use HTML at will in that place so something like this is fine too:

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', '<table align="center">
													 <tr>
													   <td>
															 Text inside the table<a href="index.php">a link!!</a>
													   </td>
													  </tr>
													 </table>');

 

Note that it's still within the quotes. That's essential!!

 

If you don't feel at ease at writing HTML code, you can use something like FrontPage to generate the HTML for you, although it won't be the most optimized HTML out there.... ;)

 

Hope this helps in getting you started!! :)

Nearly every page in oscommerce has a file in ther language folder. Its here that you can change every bit of text if you want to.

 

To make changing the site colours easy, there is a free programme called topstyle lite. Do a google search for it, and you shoulds find it easy enough.

REMEMBER BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP
