Turning design template into working shop.

Hi

 

Ok me very confused, and I have done quite a bit of reading now.

 

I have got a design template which has been done in Photoshop and is all chopped up into headers, footers, left and right sidebars....basically all the elements.

 

Question....where on earth do I drop these elements....I simply can't see a nice way of dropping them in. For instance take the shopping cart as an example....i have broken down this into it's 'box', can't I just drop this in, and then tell oscommerce to insert it's bits (what's in cart, totals etc) around it without messing around with raw coding?

 

Don't get me wrong I am quite reasonable with PHP, but i don't want to edit raw coding if there is a very simple way of doing this.

 

Help...i'm going nuts here :P

There is no simple way.

 

There are things that help though:

 

All the boxes are made through the boxes class.

They get their formatting from there, and the colors etc. from

the stylesheet. (infoBox sections).

 

With those two you should be able to come quite far.

 

Furthermore all pages are created as

 

                   [header.php]

-----------------------------------------------------

[left_column] | mainpage     |  [right_column]

 calls boxes  |                    |  calls boxes

-----------------------------------------------------

                    [footer.php]  

 

where mainpage will actually have the left / right column called as ab include in EACH file... they're both just a cell in the table.

Open a file up, set table border to 1 and you'll see what I mean.

 

So you can drop your template in the header, left_column, mainPage, right_column and footer but you will have to edit each file in /catalog

if you are ok with php, and can make your photoshop layout into one html page, then a contribution I made might be the answer for you...

 

this was a draft I put together, but if you need help just email me....
