msaunders Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Hello Can someone tell me what is the best way to edit/change the default layout/template of the shop ? What files do I need to edit . thanks martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 ... What files do I need to edit ... If you want to really hack the layout & everything (like SpotIT have done, you will probably need to modify _every_ file. If you just want to change the colours, then editing the stylesheet will probably do you -- but then it will still look basically like an osCommerce stock layout. In my mind, it's best to wait until the templating system has been written. If you want to know how to change the boxes, or what the bits of the stylesheet mean, check out http://www.oscdox.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msaunders Posted September 13, 2002 Author Share Posted September 13, 2002 Hey Will Thanks, I had already started to do this :) .. I just thought there might be a better way of doing it . thanks martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Martin, It's a bit tricky. Best advice is to: 1. Draw out what you really want 2. Play around with the following files: Column_right.php Column_left.php header.php footer.php default.php stylesheet.css 3. Pick a colour scheme and set out the way you want to proceed with the site further. 4. BE CREATIVE! This software concentrates on functionality than appearance, so make sure you work your imagination overtime. 5. If you have a good design, let everyone know about it :-) Take it easy J 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
