toolcrazy Posted December 16, 2002 Posted December 16, 2002 Looks good, but it is a pretty much stock OCS. Don't worry, mine is going to be that way too. I'll worry about it later. Steve -------------------------
Guest Posted December 16, 2002 Posted December 16, 2002 You might want to change the ALT tag on the logo from osCommerce to your site and reduce/compress the size of your image....it's nearly 70k and takes a while to download.
Freedom Fighter Posted December 16, 2002 Author Posted December 16, 2002 Kim, could you tell me in more detail what your talking about. I don't understand what you mean. Thanks, Alex Extreme Alterations
CC Posted December 16, 2002 Posted December 16, 2002 Alex Why have you uploaded the standard code in catalog/catalog/.... to upload it in the standard catalog/ is not the best idea, but to upload it in both of the catalog directories is a definate no no! You will suffer on search engines for this, plus it doesnt make for the most memorable URL's if anyone ever decides to link to your images or something similiar. Why dont you drop it back to the public directory? that way your domain to your main site would be: http://extremealterations.com/default.php - Much more friendly. CC.
Guest Posted December 16, 2002 Posted December 16, 2002 change the ALT tag on the logo In the header file, int his line: (DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'oscommerce.gif', 'osCommerce'); osCommerce is the ALT tag. You should also change the name of the image to YourLogo.jpg. reduce/compress the size of your image....it's nearly 70k and takes a while to download. Large image files take longer to download, smaller image files are faster, pages that take too long to download don't keep customers. Using my image compression tool I have reduced the size from nearly 70K to just under 13K. You need to do that with all images.

rseigel Posted December 17, 2002 Posted December 17, 2002 Move the files to the root and change the config.php file to reflect the move.
