STS Designed Templates

[Brian-Bear]

Hi Guys. Template Monster appears to be a thorny subject, can I just ask one question. For us STS is a great templating solution, is there anyone out there creating STS templates and stylesheets for OSC store owners to use. We do not mind paying as this price will simply be relayed to our customers so they can make the final decision as to use the template or not.

Brian,

STS can use any web template available, osCommerce look alikes or not. All that is needed is to pick a template and then add the STS tags where you want the osCommerce functionallity to appear.

 

As far as the Monster templates, they can be converted through the following process (this process allows the use of the latest osCommerce release, therefore bypassing the usual pitfalls of the buggy code associated with purchased templates):

 

How to integrate a purchased template to STS:

 

To make an STS template out of a purchased osCommerce template,

1. Install the store in a test directory (meaning, follow all of the installation instructions that came with your purchased template, but be sure to do this in a test osCommerce scenario. You will use these files in your final "live" osCommerce store.
   
2. Open the store in your browser
   
3. View the Source Code and Save the html code to your computer
   
4. Use this html code as your default template (sts_template.html) and start replacing the different elements with their corresponding STS Tags.
   
5. Use the boxes class (includes/classes/boxes.php) from the template you bought
   
6. Modify the external stylesheet from the purchased template to your needs (if needed)
   

The above should get you started in the right direction.

 

Hope this helped,

Hi Bill

Thanks for the detailed response, what you suggest is basically what we are doing already, however if someone had a selection of preformatted templates ready to go with associated OSC stylesheets that our customers could choose from that would be the ace in the pack. Just upload and go.
