mikerask Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 I have been tasked with making some website modifications to an existing website running OSCommerce on Apache, Linux, MYSQL, in a virtual machine(CPanel.net). I am brand new to OSCommerce and have a couple questions if someone could please help. I need to rearrange some items displayed on many of the webpages, specifically the order of items in the left column and change borders, etc. When looking at index.php I see the left column is entries in a table inside of another tables and other include php files. One of these items(content.php?p=Sidebar) also happens to be one of the static pages under Tools -> Info Pages. Other items in the left column are left_column.php and left_column_extra.php. Is there some sort of master page or template that I should be modifying to make the changes that are needed, or do I have to modify the code by hand? Will I break OSCommerce by editing these files? How do I tell what version of OSCommerce is installed? I do see "osCommerce Online Merchant Copyright © 2007 osCommerce" in the admin website(domain/admin). But I also see Copyright 2003 in the PHP pages. I think this website was originally sold from a web development/hosting company. Thanks in advance...
Guest Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Mike, The boxes listed in the columns can be found in catalog>includes>column_left.php and column_right.php The order of the boxes from top to bottom lists the order of how they are displayed on the website. The stylesheet.css in catalog> will determine colors of boxes and other cosmetic changes. To determine the actual Version, look in catalog>includes>application_top.php for this: // define the project version The line directly under it will give you your OSC version. The store obviously has some contributions added to it, the one you will want to look for in the Admin is STS. If STS is installed, then the layout changes will be made within the STS template. So, you need to determine if STS is installed my looking for it in the admin section, usually under Modules I think. Chris
