Guest alantomkins Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I don't seem to be able to find a user guide for CartCube v3 anywhere. I am developing a photography site and need to customise the look and feel to fit in with the overall site design. I know this is possible but as a beginner with this porduct and PHP I am going to need some help. Is there such an item out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alantomkins Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Great news. To be honest I was very disappointed with this area of CubeCart as all the quotes on the site say "very simple to use and customise". I agree with the first statement but not the second. Having used Actinic and EROL before (washing my mouth out with soap as you read this!), both of which have comprehensive documentation (and in fairness cost more) I was hoping for at least some guidence. Although I would love to, I simply don't have the time to become a developer as the customer is waiting. I look forward to seeing your work, I'm sure it won't disappoint Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fiddling with CC303 and wiki too, (the wiki has nothing to do with CC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Denver Dave Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Even a sticky post with gems like the high-level outline for the View Cart Process by estelle would be helpful: http://www.cubecart.com/site/forums/index....showtopic=11368 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markscarts Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I am developing tutorials for certain aaspects of CubeCartâ„¢ as well. My tutorials will be visual guides, with screenshots and other images as well as tips on HTML and CSS for working with CubeCartâ„¢ templates. One very minor such tutorial should be published soon in the downloads section in PDF format. The other, more comprehensive ones will be made available from my site free to licensed CubeCartâ„¢ users, and for 99 cents to everyone else. Hopefully, this will encourage more use of CC, support for the developers of CC, and failing that, may help defray some of the cost of my own license(s) */* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tbladecki Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I am making progress on this... the "rough" version should be up and running by sunday...... again it will be very rough but you have to start somwhere and with all the support and experiance of the long timers this should go fairly smooth. Just remember DONT SHOT THE MESSENGER.... I am only trying to help everyone and gets some documentation together and most of all help Brooky, so it may be a little scary at first, but I will get it layed out correct and working right. Thank you for youe help and I look forward to working on this project and all of your help. "stay tuned" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 My suggestion would be little mouse over help buttons on each page of the Admin section. So let's say when you try to first change your homepage text and realize I need to CHMOD 777 the file....or have that information stored in the database instead of a text file. But if you could mouse over a help icon and it would say "If file is not updated, please make sure /this/file is CHMOD 777, just don't forget to change it back to "CHMOD 644" when your finished. One of the better examples of how this works is the Drupel Content Management system. Although quirky in some of it's operation, I never once had to consult a PDF because everything had detailed explainations or help icons like I mentioned above to explain everything. Made it one of the less painful CMS systems I've deployed over the years. That is just my suggestion coming from an old PERL coder that had to write just as many comment lines as lines of code...

Guest cjsmiff Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Having spent many hours with no joy searching for the illusive admin user guide, you know the kind you could give to your customers that shows them how to add a product etc, I have created one of my own. It can be downloaded here for a nominal fee of £1.50: http://www.clairehaas.co.uk/cubecartguide.htm Since the admin section of CubeCart is pretty idiot proof the guide, although 24 pages, is relatively simple but gives your customer a visual reference when they attempt to manage their own online shop. My customers have found it very useful. Let me know if you would like to see it grow into a more comprehensive version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
