Guest stprix49 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hi! I am new to Cubecart and I am trying to understand the program. I am a bit confused. What is the difference between skins and templates or is there a difference? Can one modify a skin? If so, how? In Admin, Skins gives me the option to choose one of the default skins, but then I don't see how to modify it. Is it written in HTML or Php? Thanks for any information, Serge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausy Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 No difference between a skin and a template, the skins are easily modified.

There is detailed information here http://www.cubecartforums.org/docs/CubeCar...g-CubeCart.htmlA skin is an overall design and coding for a site which produces it's 'look and feel', the complete site design. A skin is independent of the content, and can be changed easily without affecting the content. A skin is made up of many templates, each template relating to an aspect of site (search box, product details, checkout etc). Not completely the same, but close :yeahhh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may as well add there are many free and paid skins available beyond the default set. Some of the free skins, and especially the paid skins, are quite good. If you decide to tinker with an existing skin to make it exactly what you want, the forums here are a superb resource of advice and error fixing.

Actually there are 2 forums, Serge - you may not have realised. There's this one, forums.cubecart.org, and the other one at cubecartforums.org http://www.cubecartforums.org/index.php?showtopic=6091 Cherry.
