OSCOMMERCE SUPPORT CALL 702-453-3332

Hi,

I made design for oscommerce only with html and css with minimum tables. I'm trying to make something like my own new template but it seems to be impossible. i don't know where to start. if i change index.php, header.php and footer.php it looks terrible and now i found that i can use file common_top_bts.php for changing design. but I'm lost. please, does anybody know which files do i have to change if i want to create new design? i don't know oscommerce very well.

Thank you.

You are not using a stock osCommerce shop, most likely CreLoaded. You will most likely find your answer in that forum.

what? i'm 100% sure, i'm using oscommerce. this is first time i heard about creloaded. why do you think that i'm using creloaded?

Sorry Stano,

I had assumed that this was a new installation of osCommerce in which the stock osC does not have the following script: common_top_bts.php. This indicates that you have the “Basic Template System” installed.

With that said, I can’t help you as I do not use or support the Basic Template System. I suggest STS (Simple Template System) as it is kept up to date and offers better support (just my humble opinion).

You may find answers in this forum by doing a Google search such as:

site:forums.oscommerce.com Basic Template System
-or-
site:forums.oscommerce.com BTS

Hope this helps,

No problem. I should mention that is not new installation. Sorry for that. I will take look on BTS. Thanks for tip

That shop is strange. I renamed template directory - just what happened - And nothing. So probably I don't need use BTS. And I made progress from yesterday, so now I’m able to change e.g. index.php file but I must using absolute addresses (http://localhost/catalog/stylesheet.css), with relative addresses not working.

Is anywhere tutorial or manual how to redesign oscomerce?
