So now i've installed it.. what do I do?

Sorry, this is a newbie question.. but after playing around with it, i'm ready to commit to it. How do I go about totally customizing it (the theme, pictures, etc.), and more importantly, getting it to work? Right now the catalog page still says:

 

"This is a default setup of the osCommerce project, products shown are for demonstrational purposes, any products purchased will not be delivered nor will the customer be billed. Any information seen on these products is to be treated as fictional... etc"

 

How can I change this?

1. Read the page...it tells you how to change the text.

2. Goto Wiki

3. Make a backup copy and play with the code.

4. Search the forums.

Read as stated above and start adding or removing the current products from the admin section. Also to change the default text go to catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php and edit text in

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'blah blah');

 

Also try the Simple Template System (STS) contribution to truly customize your site, it's what I used.

Thanks, that's perfect.. I know there are a lot of resources there, but the fact that there are so many just meant I did not know where to start. A quick answer like STS really helped out, thanks :)

There are indeed many resources out there, but like any good novel you can read the last page to see who did it, but you have to read every page to find out why he did it!
