amigaman Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Hello all, My first OSCommerce store has gone live and I'd appreciate it if you could all take a look around and let me know what you think. The URL is http://www.mrcloud.com and the site, as you will see, sells retro t-shirts. You may notice some slight graphical quirks that I'm still trying to iron out but otherwise the site should be working fine. It uses the STS template to give it what I hope is a fairly distinctive look for a OSCommerce store, I have also utilised the extended search module so both descriptions and titles are searched automatically and I have added the Purchase Without Account module for ease of purchase. The only persistant error at present is with the Worldpay module. Using STS the call back seems to have trouble logging orders in the admin panel. I have asked for help here but to no avail, so any help on that front would be very welcome. Well, let me know what you think... :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarafina Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I like it. You've done a good job at customization and not letting it look like a stock site. It loads quickly. Its evident in a couple of seconds what you do. The color scheme is simple but good and works well with what you got going on. May I ask, where did you get your 'checkout' images and such? You need to get one for create account as you still have the stock one there. Contributions installed: Purchase without Account / STS/ All Products/ Header Tags Controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amigaman Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 Thanks for the comments sarafina. The buttons were sourced from the Mac button contribution here. It doesn't seem to include a 'Create Account' button which is why the stock one was used. To be honest I had forgotten about it! I have dropped the contributor a PM to see if he can update the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintpeel Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Ace store! whats the use soap bit all about for the fight club t-shirt :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amigaman Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 Thanks mintpeel it's great to have some feedback after working so long it what seems like isolation. As for the soap question; as I recall Brad Pitt is a soap salesman in the film, making soap from human fat. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnew Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 nice and simple laout looks good the search box needs tweeking for Safari browsers, it's about 180px high with all 3 elements on seperate lines with huge padding above and below them john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amigaman Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 hi can you elaborate a little? I use Safari myself. Do you mean the actual search box (the beige area) or the results of a search? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnew Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 i mean the actual search box, the beige area, not sure why you don't see it too i'm on safari v1.3.1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amigaman Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 Thanks John. I can see it yes, and looking at in IE it looks a real mess. Unfortunately though I can't recall what page I need to edit in order to change it, can someone advise? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonbeam Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Looks good, clean and simple... You might want to change the alt tag for the Mr Cloud logo, it still says osCommerce. Would be good to change it to your own! **Look in includes/boxes/advanced_search.php for the search box... Moon "Woohoo, Just Havin Funnn!"

amigaman Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 Thanks moony I've changed the alt tag. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find the file you mention. The only file called advanced_search.php is in the root and looks quite complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe7 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Looks brilliant! Why don't you use the search engine optimisation module? How about a quick introductionary text above the 'MrCloud Recommends' section. Maybe a 'Recommend to a friend' link on each t-shirt page would help improve sales? And a simple page 'About MrCloud' would mae users feel more at home. Also, the 'Contact Us' link doesn't work (the link at the bottom, not the one on the side) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lernim Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Bob, I like the compact layout in larger resolutions. I've wanted to customize the original layout for my site, i.e. space in the margins in resolutoins higher than 800x600. Did you use a contribution? Could you, or anyone else knowledgeable tell me how it's done? I want some space in the margins when viewing in higher resolutions. www.yahoo.com is another example. Thanks anyone. *edited to remove the link* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amigaman Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 Thanks Joe7. I've updated the 'Contact Mr Cloud' tag. I guess it is a good idea to write some text above the reccomendations box, especially for search engines visiting the page, at the moment it's a little text light. I'll have to think of something appropraite that will blend in well. As for the search engine optimisation module it looks like it might be pretty useful but before I begin is it compatiable with STS? As I am sure most STS users will know there is nothing more frustrating finding a great module that needs lots of modifications to work with STS. Thanks again for the kind words and helpful comments Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rommany Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Your site look clean and fresh and starting to come on well. I love your pop up product list in the header, can i please ask where you found it and was it hard to add to ocS ? Kind regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amigaman Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 The pop up headers have nothing to do with OSC. I simple preload some slightly bigger images and have them replace the smaller ones when the pointer hovers over them. Pretty basic java (so I'm told by my java elf) but quite effective.

amigaman Posted November 26, 2005 Author Share Posted November 26, 2005 I've just installed the Ultimate SEO URL Contribution as advised by Joe above. It seems to work great on the site itself, all the URL's are now relative to what is being sold on each page. However when I try and access the admin I receive a blank page witht he following: " Warning: main(includes/classes/seo.class.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 132 Warning: main(): Failed opening 'includes/classes/seo.class.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 132 Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: seo_url in /var/www/html/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 134 " Can any tell me what has gone wrong and how to solve it as I'd like to keep this contribution installed?

godino1 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 You need to sort the search box not inline with the rest on the left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Yuen Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 A very simple design, The search box is messed up on my computer like everyone has been saying. Some of your category icons are broken images. And as for the tab navigation, when I click on say music the homepage tab still stays elevated from the rest of the tabs (it should be down and the music tab should be elevated since I am in that category). Other then that good job. Andrew Yuen osCommerce, Community Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my PC however it looks as you say it looks on IE but works on Mozilla. Any ideas anyone? As for category icons, I don't want them there at all. How do i get rid of them altogether?

JCoyote Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Not sure about the web browsers issue. As for the icons, try what I did: just keep them but replace the image files with a couple pixel transparencies. That way if you want to use those slots for anything later you can just insert images. And if you want to get rid of the categories, you should be able to just comment them out of the includes/column_left.php file. It should then show everything else just minus that box. I love your site, you use some nice design, but for selling the same basic product we're really on different marketing ends. I'd love to hear any comments you have on my site http://www.cynikgear.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwebt Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Hello all, My first OSCommerce store has gone live and I'd appreciate it if you could all take a look around and let me know what you think.

You may notice some slight graphical quirks that I'm still trying to iron out but otherwise the site should be working fine. It uses the STS template to give it what I hope is a fairly distinctive look for a OSCommerce store, I have also utilised the extended search module so both descriptions and titles are searched automatically and I have added the Purchase Without Account module for ease of purchase. The only persistant error at present is with the Worldpay module. Using STS the call back seems to have trouble logging orders in the admin panel. I have asked for help here but to no avail, so any help on that front would be very welcome. Well, let me know what you think... :blush: DID you ever got this fix? the callback feature? I'm having the same problem of this callback feature... customer pays...but no record of the order since the order didnt complete the process...
