    Default customizing page & errors

    any where i can find a complete manual on making oscmax look the way i want it to be? i see some sample pages which looks great, totally different from the standard osc style.

    how do i do it?

    & i'm having this error msg on the top of my index page (on my own test server)

    Warning: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent in C:\PROGRA~1\APACHE~1\Apache2\htdocs\catalog\includ es\functions\sessions.php on line 67

    Warning: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at C:\PROGRA~1\APACHE~1\Apache2\htdocs\catalog\includ es\functions\sessions.php:67) in C:\PROGRA~1\APACHE~1\Apache2\htdocs\catalog\includ es\functions\sessions.php on line 67


    Isn't there any manual on how to use oscmax to the max capability of it?

    Hi Daniel

    To change the look of OSC you have to manipulate the css file. It is called stylesheet.css and is found in \catalog\
    Google says be nice!

    Chances are if you got an error like:

    Warning: Cannot ....... - headers already sent in ........

    You have edited a file and added a blank space or line before the first <?php or the last ?>. - SOME editors like MS based tend to add a blank line on the LAST line of any text file and tend not to like unix style text files.

    Use a REAL text editor like NoteTab, UltraEdit or PFE etc....

    Yes, edit the CSS file and templates available in the templates folder. The mainpage template is the top-level design structure of the site. I find it easy to mock up a look I need in Dreamweaver (WYSIWYG HTML editor) and then insert the finished bits of code into the template page code. Let me say though, it does help if you understand the uses of embedded PHP code inside the template so that you can customize it even more.

    If you are getting errors after editing something you are editing it wrong. Start from scratch and be careful.
