delaen Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 I've modified from the default quite a bit, but I'm sure I can improve a lot of things still. Please let me know if you see anything that strikes you as horrible, or flat out doesn't work. http://www.badmouthmovies.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acemang Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 getting good... but.... there are to many text in the movies discrition. im working at 1280x1024 and I cant c all in your first page..thats bad.. you have to many different colors in your boxes.. try this colors in the shopping chart box (put the #336699 in the content and the #EEEECC in the header). and like mattice likes to point.. In order to have your store criticized by the community here it has to have the Powered By osCommerce link on it as mentioned in the Sticky Post in this channel. If not we will delete it...

I looked at the site at that resolution and couldn't tell exactly what you mean. Do you mean that there is too much text in the middle column?

Guest Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Dalean, Love the reviews! More text is better. Even though you have used multiple colors, they coordinate well and none seems to be out of place. My only "gripe" is the header doesn't quite seem "connected" to the rest of the site.....I'm not quite sure what to suggest to cure it though..... Overall I give it 2 thumbs up.... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 I played a bit in my photo program....What about adding a paler shade of beige in the background to unify the look a bit more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattice Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 and like mattice likes to point..In order to have your store criticized by the community here it has to have the Powered By osCommerce link on it as mentioned in the Sticky Post in this channel. If not we will delete it... The thread that is. And I don't specifically like to point that out, its part of my job being a forum moderator... I like the site a lot. Very clean, good feel to it. Only thing I can say is it looks too Amazonish to my taste. Other than that I think you did a great job on it.

tails2k Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 looks good, your "stars" for reviews should be a bit darker IMO... kind of hard to see when your on an lcd screen.. -Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delaen Posted March 28, 2003 Author Share Posted March 28, 2003 I've changed a few things around and I think it looks a little bit better. I changed the colors of a few things that I think match a little better now. I also made the main section a little easier to read. I made a test account if anyone wants to look around a little more: Login: [email protected] Pass: testit Please let me know if there is anything else you can see that desperately needs improved.

JenRed Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Your shopping cart is empty. This is an indication that you are not buying enough. That is GREAT!!! That's all I have to say! :) Jen I haven't lost my mind - I have it backed up on disk somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delaen Posted April 6, 2003 Author Share Posted April 6, 2003 how did you make the info boxes different colors? have been playing around a bit,but haven't been successful with it. any tips are greatly appreciated. I used this contribution and modified the tables a bit so that they no longer had the "infobox" class and had each one have their own instead. I had to add a few additions to the stylesheet as well.

burt Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 I think you have too much going on in the first page. I like to read lots of stuff about what I'm buying, but thats the job of the product_info page. The default page should tempt me inside your site...yours would scare a lot of people off as it has too much information... Having said that, I like the layour and colours - it all works well. It's just too wordy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HyperJack Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Cool site! It took a long time to load on my DSL though. A physical address and phone number on the contact us page might make people feel better. You might want to rename 'oscommerce.gif' and make it a link to your home page.

Guest Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Well done! looks very good. 2 major things I love and would like to know how you did it: 1) I like what you have done with the product listings with the average review of the products shown. How is this done? Contribution I can down load? 2)Also the "3 Badmouth users rated this movie: [3 of 5 stars]" which appears on your product info pages - any idea / contribution how this can be done? Let me (and the other's) know! Again - well done! Brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The section is commented. Most of the other code will take a lot of changes on other pages to get working, but the average reviews section should work out of the box (except for a language file change that should be somewhat obvious). 2)Also the "3 Badmouth users rated this movie: [3 of 5 stars]" which appears on your product info pages - any idea / contribution how this can be done? It's the same code from the other page, just a different entry into the language file to make it say something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delaen Posted May 4, 2003 Author Share Posted May 4, 2003 I'm just curious, but did anyone else happen to try that code? I'm curious to find out if it works at all with a default-esque installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
