A big Book?

[justedee]

Hi Guys,
I'm a newbe programmer.
I was using the other OsC and doing well - it came with a 114 page printable book that I made reprogramming easy.

I need the same thing for this program. I've poked around, but don't see one.
Could someone leave me a link to it please?

I don't want to start asking questions until I have a handle on what I am doing.
Thank you,
~eDee

A place to start is here.
http://www.oscmax.com/book

Most books on OSC are still applicable as our version is 100% based on OSC MS2 and associated CONTRIBS that are available on there site. There is very little "ADDED" code - mostly bug fixes and combined 2 or more contribs.

THERE IS NO MASSIVE RE-WRITTEN or PROPRIETY CODE IN OUR VERSION (Like ZEN-Cart or CRE-Loaded)!


Yes ours is definably different - it has More options and added fuctionaly over the stock version.

Thank you. Yes I did try that, but I'm trying things like adding Googles to the outside area of the OSC. I can't find that in there.

Do you mean books like Deep Inside osCommerce: The Cookbook?
I'm willing to purchase a book, if it will tell me everything about adding to the program. What is the best book?

Not sure what you mean by adding Google to the outside areas of OSC. Did you enclose OSC inside another existing website? Add meta tags in your other website areas (non OSC areas) helps.

I can not atest to any of the (recently authored) OSC books cause I dove into (and drowned myself - several times) before any books was being marketed.

Any book that deals with php and html should help you in general to understand the basics. OSC based book would be a bit more applicable if your not into php programing for "other" project.

Good luck.

I would like to put Google AdSense in the areas circled below.
Question 1) what folder do I go to and file do I change to add AdSense to the circled area?
Question 2) What folder do I go to and file do I change to add text to the area above and maybe even below the "new products for May" bar?
Question 3) Who can I pay to create and install a Membership Subscription like contribution #1658?
You know I should have just asked these questions like this in the beginning. I don't know why I dicked around with the wording. Those 3 questions are all I need to get up and running. Actually #3 doesn't need to be for a few months (maybe not ever) but I would still like a quote.

Believe me this is my only project at this time. My head can only take so much - and this is my limit. lOl

In your template directory - add it just after</head><body.... but before the first <table> and after the last </table> but before the </body></html>

Oh I think I did something wrong.

I’m using a skyscraper 120X600, it should run down the entire side of the page.
I went into main_page.tmp.php and placed the google script below the <body> tag.
However, it moved my entire webpage downs, so you see the google ad first then have to scroll way down to see the actual webpage. I can’t seem to get the skyscraper ad beside the webpage.
Am I using the correct file (main_page.tmp.php)? And did I misunderstand your instructions?
Sincerely,
~eDee

This is what I have when I put it below <body> but above the <table>




Below, of course is what I want it to look like. I can't seem to make it happen. I wish it was as easy as cut and paste. lOl




Thank you for any help you can give.

Yes you will have to use tables........create a new table - enclose the whole OSC in it own colum (#2) and your code in in the first column (#1) all in the same single row. This is basic HTML tables
