| I have some online stores with orginal osc2.2 m2 with some bought templates from oscoders.biz OscMax is a super product "just like what I need" but there is not much templates for it YET My question is, is there any way to implement an orginal osc template "ex. from oscoders.biz" into oscmax? It's very expensive to implement all the mods into my stores and I don't have time/knowlage to do it my self.. 1. How hard is to implement osc template into oscmax? from scala 1 to 10? 2. Any way to remove/disable bts from oscmax? 3. Does it help if I remove bts from oscmax? 4. Is it possible to use just all other things like admin section, except "the catalog section" to keep the looks of the template Please reply thanks |

| It is harder to remove bts than adapt your template to max. It is pretty easy to adapt templates to max, since you just really need to adapt the index.php, header and footer structure and your stylesheet to be a template.

| Ok, So you have a stock ms2 template. You have the header and footer php files and the index.php file in ms2. These make up the site structure. You also have a stlyesheet.css file which handles background graphics and fonts and colors. In max, all you need to do is make a new template folder. I will call it custom Then, copy all the files from the aabox template folders to the custom folder. Next, you need to modify the main_page.tpl.php file in the custom folder by adding the html from the header.php, index.php and footer.php files from your ms2 template. This html should replace the existing html in this file. You need to use your skills in html to do this correctly, but it is straight html, so it is not that hard. Then you need to replace the styesheet.css file with the one from your template. That should do it.

| are there any resources or tools to help in changing the css file? i see the online info with different properties, but is there any way to use something like dreamweaver to help change it and add/change things? i have a site based on our main html template that is positioned pretty much okay, the only problem is the stylesheet. i dumped my html template into the default aabox template dir, and am working off the default aabox template, with modified properties for one thing i cant manage to make the infobox bg white, and keep from having large white squares around the page bottom buttons (add to cart, remove. checkout) can anyone shed some light on this for me? |

| You have to create new styles to go into stylesheet.css for all the customizations you want to do, then change the default style calls for those elements to the new styles you have created. This allows you to create a style for every single little element there is.

| I have been working on our site for some time now, and while I had it all working just fine in a test directory, when I moved everything to the root directory /home/domain/public_html, my header buttons disappeared, and I have tried everything that I can think of, but they continue to avoid me. I literally uploaded a new cart, installed it, and then added my template files. That should have been all I had to do, but it wasn't, so I uploaded the images to the main image directory, and some of it started working, but not the buttons. Here is the piece of code within "main_page.tpl.php" that controls it: <TABLE width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"> <TR class="headerMenu"> <TD align="left"><?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'separator.gif'); ?></TD> <TD align="left"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">' . tep_image_button('menu1.gif', '') . '</a>'; ?></TD> <TD align="left" width="100%"><?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'separator.gif'); ?></TD> <TD align="right"><?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'separator.gif'); ?></TD> <TD align="right"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL') . '">' . tep_image_button('menu2.gif', '') . '</a>'; ?></TD> <TD align="right"><?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'separator.gif'); ?></TD> <TD align="right"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART) . '">' . tep_image_button('menu3.gif', '') . '</a>'; ?></TD> <TD align="right"><?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'separator.gif'); ?></TD> <TD align="right"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL') . '">' . tep_image_button('menu4.gif', '') . '</a>'; ?></TD> <TD align="right"><?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'separator.gif'); ?></TD> <TD align="right"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '">' .tep_image_button('menu5.gif', '') . '</a>'; ?></TD> <TD align="right" width="100%"><?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'separator.gif'); ?></TD> </TR> </TABLE> I have tried changing the directory pointers (design/menu*.gif, DIR_WS_IMAGES) and that doesn't do it. Separator.gif and the menu*.gif files are all in the same directory, so the program should see them equally, especially if they are both using the DIR_WS_IMAGES pointer (I thought), but that isn't what happens. The site is at http://www.cybeargifts.com (Keep in mind I am changing it by the minute so it may look different when you visit.) Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

| It figures that within minutes after posting, I would figure out the fix! I had to copy all of my files in my template english language button folder into the main one. And now it works! I would still like to understand why when I put the WS_DIR_IMAGES, it still didn't work. I was telling it exactly where to look... |

| sili2213 Try the below link. It has stylesheet definitions, which tell you what all the css tags control in the stylesheet. It is for the osc2.2 but is petty much the same. http://www.oscommerce.info/kb/osComm..._and_Layout/54 Hope this helps a little |

| Thanks for the information, but that really doesn't tell me anything about the tep_image_button instruction. I must assume that this tells it to look in a specific location, but nowhere can I find the place defining it to do so. |
