Jack_mcs Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 The template should have install instructions. But even it is doesn't, the general idea is that you have to replace any of your files they changed but you can't overwrite any of the code that has been changed in your shop for STS. So you need to go through each file at a time and compare them.

kewldude_3001 Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 the "template" only had an index file and the images and a fonts folder, it looked like most of it was hard-coated, so for instance if i want to add more categories im guessing i would have to edit the index file instead of doign it on the admin side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Categories are added in admin and should not be controlled by a template. It sounds like you don't have a template that will work with oscommerce, at least not without a lot of converting.

kewldude_3001 Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 im not sure if it did work or not, in the source code it looks like it worked but nothing shows up :(, also how can i link to by regular database??? i tried doing it before and it changed the layout back to the default template...... so how would i link without losing my new template?

kewldude_3001 Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 i havent figured out the database question yet, but i figured out how to make the infobox show up, i had use templates for infobox selected i set that to false lol but now i want to customize the info box to fit with the rest of the site so how would i do that? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I'm confused as to what your problem is. Loading items from the database should already be set up. If it STS you are having problems with, you should ask for help in that support thread.

With STS, you would continue to use the osC admin and all of its features and functions as you would in a non-STS scenario. I suggest that you read over the STS User Manual thoroughly and get acquainted with how STS works. :thumbsup: Also, as Jack mentioned above, you will get more detailed help in using the STS contribution through the official support thread in this forum (click on the STSv4 Forum link in my signature below).
