CC3 Template (Work In Progress)

[Guest [email protected]]

Hi Everyone,

Just started work on a new template for CC3 last night, still loads to do but getting there, might get some more done on it tonight

The template side of CC3 is pretty straight forward for anyone who knows a little bit about .tpl and .css files, I don't know that much to tell you the truth, myself

Please view under IE as it looks crap in firefox at the minute!!

Let me know what you think, yuo might have some better ideas than me?

Brooky:

I hope the way the template files work stays the same, for the final release. :D

Looks great! There will be loads in the future I'm sure. That one helps prove how easy it is to customise and just how far you can push it!!

[Al Brookbanks]

You need to check it in Mozilla / Firefox though ;)

I did say dont look at it in firefox Brooky, It is a Work In Progress and will get around to sorting those issues out ;)

[Guest]

have anyone an idea how i can change the size of the site? original is 762px, sorry but i have not found in skin files.

[Guest [email protected]]

It's in the style sheets!!

layout.css file.

Change width to what you want, but it will also need other width changes on the left column boxes and the midolumn box and the right column box to get it all to fit to your new width!!

Hope this helped

Hello,

How do you customise CC3? I can cope with CC2, its fairly simple but how does CC3 work? Is there any tutorials?

Regards,

Paul

Have a look in layout.css

CubeCart 3 uses more advanced CSS & XHTML which is better.

I would be nice if all web sites were CSS compliant!

Same here, never had any intention on learning about CSS.... not much choice now eh? ;)

I was so totally impressed and scared off by the whole new cc3 that I was going to stay away from it like a bad toothacke....

Now that I have seen what you can do and how easy it really is I'm gonna go and play around with it

This post really helped me giving it a closer look, thank you.

Good, you wont regret having a play Mobie.

To all thinking about learning .css, then don't worry it is easy stuff once you get to grips with it. I hadn't played with it until last week, no i figure i can do alittle

We should see loads of different looking sites with CC3, which can only be a good thing ;)

If you can play around with PHP you certainly can play with CSS.

It is not that I don't know how CSS works and am starting to understand PHP better every day now however I had tried out OSC and Zen but left it right after the install cuz I didn't like the whole 'skinning' part and configuration of it. With the release of CC3 and hearing a lot about the feature "skins' I thought it was going to be like OSC and ZEN.

I am very glad it is still CC tho! :D

I'm learning too...

Once cracked though theres no turning back. It may be a learning curve for us all but it is something which will lead to superior stores and better skilled people.

Key advantages are:

1. Lower Bandwidth for Stores

2. Pages Load Faster and Neater (CSS renders faster than the use of tables)

3. We all become pros and CC3 become the best solution in the world.

4. Backward compatibility.

5. Improved text to speach compatibility which is becoming a legal requirement in many countries...

See its worth the learning curve... It's about changing with the times. :)

[Guest Ian MacMillan]

I love CSS....been working with it for years! It was the PHP that was stonewalling me with CC2!

[Guest]

See its worth the learning curve... It's about changing with the times.

Change?? Why change??

"Why change it, we have been doing it this way for years" as an old boss always used to say..... Man if only he would have known he could do so much beter..... I guess thats one reason why he is no longer in business LOL

Exactly, if we dont change we wont be about for much longer too...
