Guest Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I am using 3.2.1 which is highly modified and a bunch of add-ons added and also some custom coding, I am VERY HAPPY with the work my coder has done but I obviously have a biased opinion. The link below will show you the osCommerce index page... TICKETS FOR SALE The link here is how it is integrated into the "root" site... MAIN SITE WITH INTEGRATION I use the main osCommerce core to add my e-bay affiliate code to, technically there is nothing for sale directly on my site with osCommerce, (the shopping cart and prices are disabled) except for a few custom php pages I have created. Some un-biased opinions (good or bad) would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Chuck, Although the layout is clean and well designed, that is NOT an osCommerce site. It is a landing page to your Ebay store. All product pages lead to your Ebay store which you MUST use to check out. If I do NOT have an Ebay account, I could not check out. So although you have 'Powered by osCommerce' in the footer, your store is in fact, NOT an osCommerce cart. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Some un-biased opinions (good or bad) would be nice. Your images for the home page total around 2 MB (I didn't add them all but that is probably close, if not low), which is way too large. You need to install an image thumbnailer to get those number down to something realistic which will improve the load speed and improve the image quality (notice how some of the images are distorted).

Thanks, I re-sized some of the large ones and sized them so they will not distort. I will have to find a good auto thumbnailer that I can use on my local machine before I upload the images, can you recommend something effective and easy to use?

You can't manually adjust the images to not distort unless you make them all the same size in the first place. And you probably can't get the size down without a lot of editing. oscThumb does it all automatically.
