Struggling With Customising My Site

[propertop]

I have no knowledge of php, stylesheets or anything but I've somehow managed to get this far without asking any questions...a lot of it is common sense and trial and error.

 

However...

 

I'm having problems changing the central part of this page (the bit where the description goes) to a white background with black/grey text. I've looked through the stylesheet and in a couple of files which my educated guessing led me to but I've drawn a blank so far and it's irritating me.

 

Anyone able to help?

Also, how do I get rid of the whole "new products for june" box on the index page?

Log into admin and find the product and change the text that says

 

This is a test description. Product description will appear here.

 

Then open your style sheet and find .main and change the text color from the black #000000 to a different color and you will be able to see the text. Or you can change the background color lighter so you can read the text.

Thanks for such a quick and helpful reply. It's worked. I knew it'd be something straightforward. I really should read up more about stylesheets.

 

Any ideas on the second problem I mentioned....How do I get rid of the whole "new products for june" box on the index page?

If you have no use for the box at all ( back up a copy first )

 

Open index.php and find at line 312 and remove :

<tr>

<td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td>

</tr>

Thanks for you help so far. Much appreciated!

 

My next problem relates to stock.

 

This may have been covered elsewhere so apologies if I've missed it.

 

Basically the shop I'm working on sells clothing. This clothing usually comes in different sizes. The only place I can find to enter stock levels is on the product page in admin (when adding a new product). My problem is how does oscommerce know which size has been sold. If I have 5 t-shirts (1 medium, 2 large, 2 xl) and I sell the medium, how does oscommerce know which size to update? Or is this not possible? I know how to add product attributes but other than create a new item for each size of each product I don't know of any other way to keep on top of stock in the way I require.
