formating

[Guest]

How do I format the my site from the generic look it now has? Is there an admin section where I can go and change things like the color etc. I am a newbie

B) look at your css for some global changes for colour , font, background.

 

manipulate a lot of the feel of the site from there.

you can also use images instead of colours in selective areas to give tabs.

thanks 241....Now if only I can figure out what CSS means and how to manipulate it.

 

How do I get rid of the os Commerce Logo at the Top and the Footer and replace with my own? Thank you for your help.

CSS - Cascading stylesheets located in catalog folder - name- stylesheet

 

logo top - catalog/includes/header.php - location- around line 55 should have this code.

 

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
 <tr class="logo">
   <td valign="middle"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'bwllogo.jpg', Business_Workout) . '</a>'; ?></td>
 </tr>

 

where mine says bwlogo.jpg this is oscommerce logo I think oscommerce.gif

 

Footer - catalog/includes/footer.php - location - around line 22 not sure as to what your code will be as I have altered my footer however principle is the same so look for the os commerce image.

 

replace these images with your own logos.

 

 

the CSS- if you know your way around html code then this should be straightforward, otherwise choice is yours play around a bit at a time or read up.

 

try something simple to start with such as

 

TD.infoBoxHeading {
 font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
 font-size: 10px;
 font-weight: bold;
 background: #174fff;
 color: #ffffff;

 

where it says background:#174fff change this hex value and do a save remember to keep an original copy of the file to fall back on.

Thanks for coming to the rescue once again 241. I think even I can be able to make those changes. I have one more question. I have just entered some fictitous orders, I had email notification, but no credit card values.

 

I do not want to run my credit card through any of the gateways as I have my own merchant account and naturally would not like to billed customers until their order has been fulfilled.

 

Where do I get my orders information?

[241]

Admin under customers, here you will find customer info, orders, invoices, packing slips

[Guest]

thanks, I found it. but there was no payment information and the fictituous credit card numbers I entered was not there. instead the payment method defaulted to checking/Money order....getting frustrated...here.

 

How come ther seem to be no documentation on how this thing works?

Docs are at the Wiki site - see link at top of the forum page.....

 

You need to Activate the CREDIT CARD payment module

or add a differnet payment module for CC like: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...ons,1148/page,2

 

These both are manual CC modules and not using a gateway like Authorize.net
