denzel2364 Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 Hi people, as a designer im always looking to change things. However, lack of php knowledge knocks me off my feet! What im looking to do is create a step by step on creating a current oscommerce template from php back into html. Then edit the theme/layout etc and upload as php for the shopping experiance. This is because i have dreamweaver and have a healthy knowledge of html. Therefore it easier to create layouts and design. Can someone help? :thumbsup:
chrisgeek Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 I don't think I can help, but I think I'd be interested too!
bill110 Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 Have you looked at the STS contribution? (Simple Template System) It lets you see more in the dreamweaver design view. Most text still needs to be edited in the language files. There is also a contribution that has all the php functions for placing in dreamweaver but I cannot remember the name of it. My version is older and it would not work. It will be impossible to go back and forth from PHP to HTML as much of the behind the scenes work to build the pages is PHP functions. The index page is the welcome and displays the category pages and product listing. You would have to do IFRAMEs in html to accomplish this. or rely heavly on javascript. Also the boxes call to the database for information and java or html will not do it.

chrisgeek Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Thanks Bill! Is there a way to have my shop on my home page? Also, I'd like to keep the URLs of my product pages the same as they are now -- what kind of control over URLs does OSC offer? -- Chris

You can put whatever you want on this home page. Check out the STSv4 Forum for more details. See link in my signature.
