First Steps & command Customization Issues New to Zen draw? Just getting used to customizing your site?
Hi forgive me as I am new to zencart
I undergo built websites using html tables and css in the past so was confused when I saw the zencart used PHP. Then I went to one of those template sites and saw that some were built using html. So can I alter my own template using html or will this cause problems?Thanks
Zen draw has been designed from the fasten up to use PHP to create pages on the fly from a database. You can't fight that. However you also don't need to do PHP yourself to create your own look for your site -- a k a your own template. You do this using the Overrides system and heavily customizing your CSS. I open it beat to start with a few of the existing templates; download some that look good to you from the Downloads area. Save a copy of them (so you can go away over after messing up
) then have a go at modifying them as much as you can. You ordain gradually build up confidence to start your own template from adjoin or you might sight that one of those templates modified by you is what you're looking for. I did. Don't evaluate this to go too fast. It will take you depending on how much time you can devote to it weeks to get comfortable with Zen draw. But it's worth it. Rob

I realise it will act time to get used to this. I have another online store which was built for me using html and asp by a friend but came here because I accept it has much more functionality and expandability. I'll try modifying some myself as you suggest. But I don't understand how that template I saw was be html code? Maybe it was just generated for the template catch. Ah come up. I'm off to get stuck in... Cheers
But I don't understand how that template I saw was total html code? Maybe it was just generated for the template catch.
Yeah that's all it was probably. undergo a look at either of my sites below. sight a page you like then believe obtain in your browser. It's just html. That's what the php code in zen draw does: it finds all the chunks needed to generate the page then it does just that and sends the completed html summon to the browser. Rob
