Do you mean just link to a specific product from somewhere else?
Just select the product and copy the URL, then make it the target address from whereever you want the link.
eg.. http://mychristiangiftideas.com/cube2/inde...rod&productId=5
On my site, the front page uses manually created HTML. Links to CC from other parts of the site are links made directly to the products.
-
From the left side menu?
That is generated automatically. Create a product, place it in a category. The categories are listed in the left menu, and the products get listed when you browse to the relevant category.
The actual template that creates the side menu can be found here...

Still not sure what you mean. ;)

All the 'buy now' buttons are automatically managed by the system. All you need to do is add products in Admin.

I agree entirely with degsey69 and aikdo.
There is only one guaranteed way to be 100% secure from any online attack.... don't go online. Unfortuantely that is not an viable option. ;)

Very nice, I really like the style. I'd make the mouse over link colour different though, it clashes with the background I think.
I would say as far as SEO goes, you have far too many meta keywords, too short a meta description.
The front page although looks really good, will do little for search engines as there is no text at all on the front page, only flash animation. The front page is ranked with more importance than the sub pages.
Hope this helps.
I do like the design.
Great work! -
I don't see why not... you're not going to install it for them for free are you?
Your time costs money as much as theirs does.
-
What version of CC are you using?
-
Just copy the code from the displayed page, and place it where you want in the template. Easiest way. :)BTW, how do you make your own box? I want to make two box one that just has a paypal image and another that has credit cards.. -
Not sure. Try removing the entire right column.
I'm not convinced it would suite your design.... the only way to tell is to try it.

Look for 'txtCopyright' in the CSS files.
To fix the image size, you'll have to resize the image before you upload it.
-
A couple suggestions - get rid of the subcat folders, and the blue background for them.
I quite agree.... do something with the folders and their background. It looks a little out of place. Use engine part images for them like you have (in a sense) on the front page. And perhaps sort out the alignment of the folders, example here.
Also add a border to the mailing list email address entry box.
I love the background photo! It really makes the site... love it!
All in all, I really like the design.
Good work! -
I agree with thegoblin entirely.
Every Cart CMS will have vulnerabilities at some point, CC is no different. At least with CC it's addressed as soon as it's discovered, and a patch released soon after.

If you've ever worked in a software environment at all, you'd know to test your software after performing any upgrade. Why did you not test your payment process after the upgrade? If it didn't work, you could have easily reverted back to the backup you made just before the upgrade, right?If you've ever worked in a software development environment, you'll know about something called a test plan, designed to prevent exactly what happened from happening. -
Great site but those weird
are still at the top of every page..." /> " />The 'HTML' and 'BODY' tags are terminating in the wrong places, near the top. The " /> " /> tags are easy to find in the code, as they are on lines of their own near the top just above the CSS references.
In addition, the search engines are probably reading a lot of 'amp;amp;quot;&' characters in the text, which is not very productive.
You don't have a very search engine friendly site. ;)

All this talk is worrying, how is it possible for someone to hack your site if they do not have access to your ftp details? Is this something i should be concerned about before transferring my shop to CC?
Your website is not using FTP, it's using HTTP or HTTPS. Considering PHP is a very dynamic and powerful programming language, it's not difficult to code something which may be exploited in one way or another at somepoint in the future. Vulnerabilities are not all known about from the beginning, when when they are found the consequences can be disastrous if not fixed/patched ASAP. Credit to the people involved with coding for CC for responding so fast.
There are an unlimited number of ways to code the same thing... this is why it's so easy to detect those copying the code for their own purposes. The vulnerabilities usually arrise from bugs/features when used in conjunction with one or more other bugs/features at the same time, if that makes sense.
I expect someone else can explain it better than me. But no piece of code can be considered bullet proof.

Problem solved. The zone requires a second class price/weight list. What a pain, what if there is only first class?
Is this still an issue in 3.0.7?
Probably.
-
All the text on the blue background is very difficult to read. This includes the module headings (cart, menu, popular products list etc).

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year Brooky, CC Team and everyone.
Wishing you all a prosperous 2006.

This is the first site I have seen that is designed for 1280x1024 resolution as minimum. Not good.
Nice design though, just far too wide.
-
Very slick.
I only have four bad points.
1. A little bland, needs more colour to break the dull grey monotony. Perhaps some product images to go with the blue top text.
2. The confirmation when I click on 'Buy'. This is not needed, it will be annoying for big spenders. I know I'm buying it, cos I clicked on the 'buy' button, and it will appear in the cart. It seems you are asking "Are you sure you want to buy it?".
3. Category folder icons.... they remain as default, and really looks out of place with your great skin.
4. Needs more product pictures on the front page... what's enticing me to venture further into the site? at the moment, it's 4+ paragraphs of text... hmmm...
Great work though!

I have always aimed sites at 800x600 resolution, usually static width. However now-a-days more people are getting flat screens and the general resolution is gradually increasing to 1024x768.
That's not to say that you shouldn't consider 800x600 to be the base screen resolution for sites. I think it more important now to have a site that looks great in both resolutions.
I plan to redo my main website and cart over the xmas period to make it a dynamic width. Whether I get the time is another matter.
But to answer your question, I run 1280x1024 on my desktop.

Don't use keywords in the title. Google will down your rating for that. Instead, have one title such as "FilmCells" and put the keywords in META.
Keywords in the title will have more of an effect than in the Meta data. However considering the page title is not within a heading tag, it's considered standard content. The main site title is an image anyway, therefore the argument is irrelavent for that title.
In looking at the code, something isn't right. You have two sets of body and head sections. Look half way down in the code. The second set is largely ignored I would think, and considering most of your meta tags are in the second part, you probably have no meta data to give search engines.
In the second 'head' section, if those meta tags were valid, the keywords and description are far too long. The 'revist after' meta tag was never a standard tag... never recognised by the mainstream spiders.
More info can be found in our 'head' section beginners guide, on our site
Maybe I should write a guide on creating a groovy website. :D
