burt Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Can I ask Burton why you would never buy from a site like mine? It looks unprofessional. As does the other site you mention - I wouldn't buy from either. There is a movie merch site I have purchased from though...I prefer not to post the URL publically though as I might get accused of "commercialism, aka spam".

danielford99 Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 Fair enough. We are all entitled to our opinions. How easy would it be for me (with no knowledge of PHP or MySql) to implement osCommerce using my own customisation? All I have heard is how 'easy' it is, but when I look at the instructions is like trying to learn a foreign language. There are so many files to download - templates, headers... its all a little confusing. I would like to use the banner of my site, would also like the buttons on the white bar I created. Other than that I am easy! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simaster99 Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I can answer this! change your banner image to oscommerce.jpg or gif. a copy itnto your catalog/images admin/images and thats it, whenever the OScommerce banner comes up you will now see tyour banner!

danielford99 Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 Hi, I knew that! thanks anyway. I want to know how easy it would be to change the colour/appearance of the site? Will I have to start playing with CSS? if so how easy is this?. I would want a Black and Grey theme like my current site: http://uk.geocities.com/ncfeint2004 - only a test site! Is anyone out there willing to do me a huge favour and have a play with a style sheet and try and match it to my current theme!!? Thanks, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juslooken Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 My only problem now is that I have a website that has took me 2 months to build and I do not want to mess it up. Installing osCommerce is only going to affect my sites layout etc? When I was faced with the challenge of creating an online store I downloaded osCommerce as well as another cart. Looking at the zip file for osc I was imediately put off by the 1400 odd files that were in it, so I went to work with the other one, spent ages breaking it apart and adapting it to my design, then spent a further 3 weeks debugging it (not easy when you are learning PHP on the fly). In the end, out of desperation I started asking people I know for help and one of them suggested osc. Nice, it was already on my hdd. Not knowing where to start I searched this forum and found in a post a suggestion to start with the header.php file (catalog/includes) and so that is what I did. After 3 weeks of trying to debug the original site, it took me 3 days to adapt the design into osc. Yes, there was one hell of a learning curve.. But it was worth it. Is anyone out there willing to do me a huge favour and have a play with a style sheet and try and match it to my current theme!!? Download a stylesheet editor so you can see the colours.. open up the css and just play around with it to see what it does. Oh and have a backup copy just incase ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielford99 Posted March 22, 2004 Author Share Posted March 22, 2004 Cheers for that. I managed to open the stylesheet in FrontPage and had a play. Going to try and do the install tonight - fingers crossed! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
