Hello hello!
I am attempting to (rather slowly) build up an oscommerce shop for my webby.
I managed to get it all free (hooray!) through erm... some place (darnit... I'm with vidahost and it's one of the addons you can get) and yeh - I have been playing with the standard template and so far so good (though haven't removed their example products yet!! So when you go see I do not sell mouse mats and things :p).
Anyway, plonked on an addon yesterday to tailor a product box and then edited to suit. The box... is awesome... however I am completely at a loss as to how to change the rest of the boxes to look the same as that one. The addon only had instructions on how to adjust this one box and I have attempted to read the oscommerce forum support thread and change it the way they've suggested, but it just really confuses me and I think I'm doing it all wrong!
I'm okay-ish at coding but not brilliant. I can fudge around, change colours, change where things are but it's more like the German language to me! I can understand more of the language than I can speak/write it ;D
Anyone have *any* idea how I can get the rest of my boxes (categories, shopping cart, quick find etc) to match the box I've just sorted?
The url to what I'm playing with is www.akettleoffish.co.uk/shop and the box I want to replicate is at the bottom (New Products) jobby with a black edge and rounded corners.
The addon I used is: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/1702 (http://forums.oscommerce.com/index.php?showtopic=307536)
and the support thread on OSCommerce is:Support Thread (http://forums.oscommerce.com/index.php?showtopic=307536)
I know they explain how to do it in the thread but to me it's just jargin!! I've pm'd the guy who set up the thread but nada back. If anyone could shed some light on this all I would be muchos appreciative! It would probably save me a gazillion years and the high possibility of me lobbing my computer at the window by the end of the day ;D
Fankoo :)
