austcoll Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 I think I have to change this php file in the /header/templates somehow to suit my new modules! <div id="storeLogo" class="col-sm-<?php echo $content_width; ?> storeLogo"> But what and how and which other files!

burt Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Take the time now to understand that you do not change core files. f you continue down the path you're going down...there really was little point in making osCommerce modular and you will end up at a place where your osCommerce installation is held together by spagetti (like any old crap 2.3 site). What you would do is create a NEW module for your needs. Then turn it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austcoll Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Thank you, however to create a NEW module for my needs in the header how many files I have to create and which files I have to edit or modify? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a programmer or developer, but this is how I have figured out how to make the changes I've wanted to my store(s) ... If I want a new module somewhere (header, footer, boxes, navbar, etc), I look at the existing modules. I will copy and rename one of the existing ones, and see if I can change the copy to do what I want it to do. Only then, after I have tried something and it didn't work, will I ask questions of why it didn't work, and how to fix it. For example, I just converted a Header module to a Navbar module. It took me a while to work through the conversion and to get things to function. I did have to ask here regarding a couple of issues. But, I now have a better understanding of how things work.

ArtcoInc Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 @austcoll Also, learn how to use the debugging tools available to you. Most browsers will allow you to right-click on a web page, then select either 'inspect' or 'inspect element'. There is a great deal of debugging information available here!

austcoll Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Thank you, that is also what I did but I had a couple of issues which I asked the forum, but I never used debugging before and sure I will do now. Thank you again Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We find the nearest module that does something a bit similar, copy it, and then fanny about with it until it does what we want it to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how I have made everything in my shop... and when it gets to hard I ask / pay a coder to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
