. Not that it helps much. It's probably not all that useful since the code seems to be trying to build a Wordpress module. Converting that to something that works with osCommerce would be quite a task.

The last one is a variant of the jQuery theme switcher. That's a Javascript module that allows the site's visitors to select a theme. Not all that useful for a store, in my opinion.


Its a start . Right now I can start with something as simple as a theme switcher, and improvise from there.
Theme Switcher is great for that.
There are some themes/color schemes which are useless for book sellers, which can perhaps be replaced with modified forms made by tweaking the css, making the footer useful, and a few other additions/changes.

If this is what WordPress can do with ecommerce:

Then perhaps OSC, which is designed for ecommerce, can give it a run for its money.
I do see however, that there is virtually nothing about WP to OSC conversion, which makes anything related to it a daunting task.
A brief look at catalog.php of both sites is a bit unnerving.

Drupal would even be better than WP, but a quick look at my decently modified version using modules including their ecommerce modules, shows a hefty 50+ MB database size (without inventory) that would get sites shut down on many hosts.

I will post a link to the source code to my colleagues, 2 of whom are Java programmers. Perhaps one can unravel it, especially
as one seems good with mobile devices, where JQuery is probably abundant.

I just needed a place to start!

Many thanks :)

Is this of any possible help:
https://gist.github.com/pmorch/1715924/download#
http://www.saltos.net/portal/en/detail/wiki/77/the-themeroller-in-saltos.htm

this is supposedly themeRoller Source, just 2 days old, and using 1.10.1 version:
https://github.com/jquery/download.jqueryui.com

I haven't the foggiest idea of what npm or grunt is or how to use it!

Oh, and found this:

However, the icons are image files, and you need some way to change the color of those. That's a bit more difficult task. I believe that it can be done, and can be done in Java if you so choose. It's going to take a lot of work though.

This changes icons to greyscale, but with a bit of imagination other colors should be possible.
(i can deal with Perl, not Java! )

I have been absolutely amazed to see that nearly all theme and icon related stuff is the online garbage. Here today, gone tomorrow.

Irfanview has a neat batch mode (use advanced) that can be used for changing color schemes.

I can use Linux and gimp easily enough, but i am trying to pull something together to permit Windows users to more flexibly manipulate OSC.

One of my colleagues successfully managed to use Wordpress for a database driven ecommerce site, but claimed that the experience was such a nightmare that he could not begin to replicate it as a template.

In
/public_html/osc/catalog/ext/jquery
jquery-1.8.0.min.js
jquery-1.9.1.min.js

Dont delete the old versions

In /home/klachman/public_html/bosc/catalog/ext/jquery/ui
jquery-ui-1.10.1.min.js
jquery-ui-1.8.22.min.js

Assuming you are using the latest versions. Rename the files to the version numbers, and use the above format.

And in the redmond directory below it the
jquery-ui.css -> jquery-ui-1.10.1.css

notice that is NOT jquery-ui.1.10.1.css

in these examples the versions will change with time

I had a devil of a time with the redmond theme file, that was fixed, by simply using another download of it. Themeroller may have a problematic server.

Check the .htaccess at the web root of domain.com .

It may have code similar to that used to prevent hotlinking of  images..
