monizzle Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Does osCommerce generate semantic xHTML? I'm looking for a solution that can be fully styled with CSS. (I searched the forums but only found discussions from 3 years ago arguing that osC *should* be be re-written in semantic xHTML). also My business logic requires that different shipping models be attached to different product categories. Is this easy to do with osCommerce? Does the database employ many-to-many relationship between products or product categories and their shipping methods?

I'm looking for a solution that can be fully styled with CSS.(I searched the forums but only found discussions from 3 years ago arguing that osC *should* be re-written in semantic xHTML). Just looked at the demo (http://demo.oscommerce.com/) and was pretty disappointed. The markup in the demo is pretty bad. Can someone tell me, before I do an install, whether one has any control over this markup in the admin section? Digging into all the PHP and changing the mark up on that level is too large a project for me. I guarantee you that osC would get a lot more support if it generated smart, standards compliant semantic (x)HTML out of the box.

Boy I hate to say something can't be done, but what you are looking for is not in an open source distribution. Someone could mod OSC for you, but I presume you want to do it yourself. Everything you asking for is possible, however it will take some time and you may have to custom code things. if you are talking semantic html, then OSC really does not adhere to any W3 standards in xhtml. You can fully style with css - that's how I do it, however it took a lot to re-skin the engine, and I used STS template to get what I wanted. Hope that helps! Nothing unreal exists
