Guest mypapani Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 hello, I have downloaded the v3 and it looks very different from the last version (v2.0.7) i've been working on. How do I disable the template settings for v3 so I could use the current tabled layout i've made for the v2.0.7? If I could make a skin/template like our current layout, where do I start? Here's the current layout of our store (not yet online): The site basically has a table with 3 columns. The 4th one (vertical google ads) is outside the table. With v2.0.7, I just include the header.inc.php at the top, then a customized menu.php for the 1st column and another customized php file for the box where the "place ads" appear. Any tips on where I should start if I could create a skin/template like our layout? Help will be very much appreciated. We plan to launch our store this July 16. I hope we could make it in time. Thanks again :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 You could recreate this skin easily to be compatible with cc3 skinning features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mypapani Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 i don't know how to create a skin.. can somebody teach me? the products on the index page that i created with v2.0.7 are all static. Even the links on the menu are not dynamically generated by cubecart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 my CSS knowledge is basic and I threw a hissy fit last time I had to make one from scratch. it'd take a bit of modding but It'd be possible easily (if you know how) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mypapani Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 i think i'm getting the hang of CSS.. I opened the index.tpl of one of the template and saw some declared values. Anybody knows what file it's been defined? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Treat the tpl files like regular html files they are your template files. Then you can accent the stlyes and layouts with the css files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mypapani Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Hello again, What file does these tags declared? How can I create a custom tag? I want to add other blocks besides these dynamic links. Thanks ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
convict Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 At first - look at main index.php. All you need is inside..... Main content of home page..... include("includes/content/index.inc.php"); $body->assign("PAGE_CONTENT",$page_content); Mailing list box.... include("includes/boxes/mailList.inc.php"); $body->assign("MAIL_LIST",$box_content); ...etc Search for apropiate tepmlate - its path and name is at the beginning of file... e.g. includes/boxes/mailList.inc.php - its template is skins/[skin name]/styleTemplates/boxes/mailList.tpl. MAIL_LIST is name of template variable for Mailing list - contains all necessary data but NOT any web code. Template (tpl) is responsible for web code, that means, if you want to redesign any section, have to do in template file... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
