dofi Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 Hey All, Im new to osCommerce.. I set up my catalog on a standard template and figured out how to edit languages, but im a bit lost with. 1. Changing the logos, and links for logos. I changed the osCommerce logo but i cant change the filename for it or the link it refers to. I also would like to change the shopping cart logo and the other logos in the top. 2. Editing colors on the front page template, ( I use dream weaver, but am also totally green here) Id like to change some of the locations of boxes as well as colors. Since im so new to this id prefer a total step by step, especially were the relevant files are located. I really want to know how "my machine" works. Took me a while just to figure out how to post here so look forward to your replies Thanks
bill110 Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 Dreamweaver is good for editing and uploading files. You will notice that you cannot see much in "view code and design" You will need a server installed. (so you can view your local copy in a browser)Many people use xaamp; I use easyphp. I recommend this one for the inexperienced because it is basically a click to install. Both are free to download (not trial versions either). Below in my signature you will find a contribution for stylesheet with descriptions. It is a stock stylesheet with descriptions of what each line in the stylesheet covers as described in the knowledge base. The stylesheet is located in catelog/stylesheet.css Just replace yours with it. If you have made changes to yours already note them so you can change them back. Be sure any time you make changes to a file BACKUP the original. For the logo go to catelog/includes/header.php and around line 57 find <td valign="middle"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'oscommerce.gif', 'osCommerce') . '</a>'; ?></td> Change link this <td valign="middle"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'your_logo.gig, 'Your store name') . '</a>'; ?></td> The logos at the top are found in catelog/images and are called:header_account.gif header_cart.gif header_checkout.gif My Contributions Stylesheet With Descriptions Glassy Grey Boxtops Our Products Meta Tags On The Fly Password Protect Admin "No matter where you go....There you are" - Buccaroo Bonsai
