It looks pretty much like a stock OSC installation to me. Not really that much that really looks unique.

Hi Kevin,

 

I'm glad you like our shop and I did receive your email.

 

First of all, I have tried to share as much information about my site to whomever that has asked. I just haven't had the time to make a formal contribution due to the fact that I run two businesses and I honestly haven't had the time to sit down and document things so that it is contributable.

 

Some of the things that I hacked, I have contributed before. They were contributed way back on the old forums (my old username was "elfinger"). One of the hacks was a dynamic meta tag generator and a dynamic heading generator based on category. This I had posted in a thread on the old forums, which I have not been able to find on the new forums as of yet.

 

Another hack that I have done is one that checks stock based on an extra field that I had used (not the osC stock field) since I needed different stock status. Mattice and I exchanged some code including that bit. But, he will tell you that it took me a long time to get back to him, simply for the reason that I was out on travel and didn't get a chance to get back to him. But if I promise someone something, I will deliver.

 

Also, there has been a couple of reasons why I haven't submitted these as formal contributions:

 

1. I'm not a PHP programmer. I'm a graphic designer so half the time I'm not even sure if I'm using proper programming conventions. I wouldn't want to contribute something that might muddle your code and cause problems.

2. My hacks haven't been integrated into the admin interface and require some manual work (again, due to my limited php knowledge)

3. As previously mentioned, lack of time!

 

So, with all that said, if there is something on our site that you like, I would be more than glad to share the hacks with you. Oh, also, one of the other hacks was an alternate way to do large images. So if there's a specific hack on our site you need, please send me an email and I'll do my best to forward you the code.

 

Currently I'm in the process of upgrading from a 2.2 CVS from November 2001 to the current CVS, so that's been a bear, but coming along very well. If you'd like to take a look, it is at http://tmradio.dynip.com/snapmod. The server may be down at times, but should be up most of the time.

 

Sorry for this long winded post, but I just wanted to say that a lot of other great folks here have helped me out and I appreciate it, and I would be glad to help when I can.

Hi....I think we have many php experts here so I was not looking for program hack. I think what OScommerce needs more is web designers to improve design and interface. I think you are one of them.

 

I like how you were able to devide main page to 4 section.

TOLL FREE Customer Service Number

Featured Anime Products

New Arrivals

Anime Toys / Collectibles Preorders

 

and I also like "Avail: Pre-order" in you product and has pop up to explaine what it is.

 

I think those will be big help to everyone. I hope you can find some time to share those with us.

 

:)

I really hope I get some time too. I'm currently rushing to finish the upgrade to the latest CVS version, and once that is done, hopefully I can go back and document some of the hacks.

 

The good thing is that upgrading to the latest CVS has forced me to analyze my hacks again because I had to re-integrate them, so it has had a good side-effect.
