Guest Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Some fooling around showed that http://www.esound.co.nz/catalog/default.php works. Nice example of how different OSCommerce can be made to look. Cheers, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kunoichi Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Just checked out your site. It's one of the best I've seen thus far. Mine doesn't even come close to looking that good! Give yourself a large pat on the back for a job well done. Kunoichi [email protected] "The secret principle of Taijutsu is to know the foundations of peace."

Guest Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Looking great! Is there any kind of configuartion maual out there? Also how do you change the header images? Cheers mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sofrito Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 One thing though. Your using the default buttons in the cart. They dont exactly match the look. I think custom buttons would go a long way. Also the formatting on the product name hedder isnt consistant. Is going to my browsers default. http://www.esound.co.nz/catalog/default.ph...php/cPath/22_25 All in all from 1-10 it gets a 9 1/2. Good luck! :) No man can tell the God what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumble Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 I agree with sofrito, beautiful site!!!!! Two points he mentioned 1) Buttons (including the search magnifying glass) 2) The text for the product listing pages is not defined using the stylesheet so its defaulted to the browser. 3) Plus on checkout I get this error Parse error: parse error in /home/nathan/public_html/catalog/includes/languages/english/login.php on line 25 I think your login.php language file is missing. 4) Use alt tag descriptions on your links (just incase they dont load people can still browse your site. All praise to you on the total look and feel of the site though!!! :D Reddy to Rumble Thank you osCommerce and all who Contribute to her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunkah Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Nice head! (der) But images are not clear and catagory icons are cheap looking compaired to the rest of the site. I agree that it is one of the best I have seen though. Very well laid out and organized. Nice colors and are good contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Hi Rumble, thanks for your comments. I fixed the login.php problem, it was a small oversight when changing the text causing an error. Can you explain points 2) and 4) in more detail? As far as the buttons are concerned, I think they look ok but if anything I would change the colour of them to match better.

Rumble Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 No serious I would invest in an hour or so redoing the buttons to a better style to suit your site, its worth it!! (I could do you a set if you donate $20 to osc.) 2) Ok whatever browser you use (i'm using IE6 at the moment) go into the options of that browser and then change the default font to size 14 and a funky font style. Then go back to your product listing pages and you will see the line that says 'Here you will find Mp3/CD players' on this page http://www.esound.co.nz/catalog/default.ph...php/cPath/22_25 looks funny. This is because you havent applied a css style to this text. 4)If you point your mouse over your top links 'My Account', 'Shopping Cart' and 'Contact Us' you will see that a label doesnt appear, this is becausse it doesn have an 'alt' tag in the coding of these links. There are plenty over the site like this. All links and images should really have an 'alt' and 'title' tag. Reddy to Rumble Thank you osCommerce and all who Contribute to her!

Guest Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 hi, i see what you mean about the stylesheet but i can't figure out how to get it to read the stylesheet. i viewed the source and saw it was looking for the "cat_description" class but i can't figure out how to add it to the style sheet, it still doesn't work. can you tell me how to do this? I see with the alt tags too ... there are a few that i need to implement but all the essential ones are there ... note some that don't have alt tags are actually text not pictures anyway so they won't have any problems. i think that changing the colour of the buttons is all that's needed - remember that 99.99% of the population isn't going to recognise them as osC defaults. thanks heaps for your help :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumble Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Yeah but you must admit the standard buttons are crap compared to your site!? As for the stylesheet add this to your stylesheet.css file TD.cat_description { font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; font-weight : bold; } You might want to play around with it though :lol: Reddy to Rumble Thank you osCommerce and all who Contribute to her!

Guest Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 hi, that's almost exactly what i put into the stylesheet, and it doesn't so much as do a thing! I really don't understand :?: as far as the buttons go, i think they look fine other than the colour gradient - but - any good marketer will go with the general consensus rather than his/her own tastes. The problem being here though is that most osC users have seen those buttons so many times that there is a bias problem. SO - what I need to do is ask somewhere else - say HTML forums or something, and see if I keep getting the same advice. cheers :-) Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumble Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 ok change cat_description to catDescription in both the stylesheet and the categories.php files. Reddy to Rumble Thank you osCommerce and all who Contribute to her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥monte22 Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 I think the people who use osC are the most critical when it comes to critiquing osC sites. So if you make your site so no one here can find anything wrong with it, then you will have a much better site than if some average joe looked it over. I mean the time you would spend taking polls of how good the stock buttons look, and the time to actually make some new original buttons is about the same. So why not just jump in, have some fun and be a little creative to finish your site right. Details make the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥monte22 Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Also, I still think you need something to fill up all that blue space next to the guy in the headphones. Use something like, "Welcome to eSound, Your No. 1 Music Equipment Source..." or another slogan you might have. But those buttons have to go first. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 hi James, I noticed in another post that you're using the Safari browser - As I am finding about 10% of my visitors are Mac users I thought I'd double check with you that their are no page display errors with Safari. If you haven't popped in and had a browse would you mind? I appreciate the help. :-) Thanks very much, Nathan (www.esound.co.nz) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥monte22 Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 I looked around a bit, and from what I can tell everything seems to work fine. The biggest problem I notice when using safari is that some page the text doesn't wrap correctly and a lot of the little javascript tricks are not displayed. Your site seems fine though.

kinetek Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 i get this error Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/nathan/public_html/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file. you might want to fix this ASAP. or you might have just been updating the site at the moment i was browsing, but in any case you should shut down the whole site if your site is live before doing any updates. also, your stylesheets don't seem to be loading...the text looks like browser default colors and size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinetek Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 also looks like your product links are not being parsed correctly this is the url i get http://www.esound.co.nz/catalog/product_in.../products_id/75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I suspect that he is making changes. It looks like the SE Safe URLs are only half installed. If you manually change them to the normal format (with ?, &, and =), then it works. Cheers, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 hey guys, something happened this morning when i went to log onto my site. it said that 'register globals must be enabled'. I contacted my host who has been working on it all day, the setting hadn't changed from yesterday when everything was working perfectly. basically now though he's gone and screwed everything up, style sheets aren't loading, search engine friendly url's are screwed, SSL is screwed. I made it so www.esound.co.nz wont go to the catalog so the general public wont see the mess. Unfortunately you guys can still check it out cause you know to type in /catalog/default.php what a nightmare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 oh and for some wacky reason the configure.php permissions error is coming up EVEN THOUGH the permissions are set correctly. does anybody have a clue on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
