Linking store to page items on website created in Dreamweaver


LeftLane

Recommended Posts

I've created a category for the T-shirt products of Life in the Left Lane, a website that I'm now developing for a client using Dreamweaver to create their site. The site is hosted on EasyCGI and I've activated osCommerce to create the store. Now how do I link osCommerce to the items shown on the T-Shirt page of www.lifeintheleftlane.com? Also how do I get images to post on the product pages in the correct size proportions? I'm trying to get the bumper stickers posted, and the image is defaulting to the same size as all of the T-shirts. I tried turning "Calculate Image Size" on and off and it made no change. Don't see how to add the sub-categories to be able to set sub-category image sizes. :(

Yes, all images default to the size set in your Admin Panel under "Configuration/Images.

 

In order to get products to show up in different sizes, you need to add new image_height and Image_width fields into the database. You will also need to run a separate php program for screen layout that calls for different size images.

 

It's easy to clone product_info.php and change the field called for the image size in the query and then replace the new field name for image size where the old one was. You could even name them subcategory)image_height and subcategory_image_width.

 

As far as linking oscommerce to your html front page, you have to move those products into the html catalog and they will show up on the pages created by oscommerce. A standard html homepage is fine, but it doesn't interact with the oscommerce database.

Just between us, remember there are only 10 kinds of people in the world; those who understand binary and those who don't!!

 

Remember, learning is a "do-it-yourself" experience; although, not necessarily a "do-it-BY-yourself" experience.

 

The quickest way to learn is to forget to BACKUP!
