I heard Prestashop is good, but was told it doesn't quite have the features of a Zen Cart (yet). Not sure how true that is mind - I haven't gone into full detail in what they offer side by side.

Whoops, didn't mean to quote myself. Looks like I'm having conversations with myself (I probably am).

Well doing it this way has worked. I think in the long term though I will be adding the html pages into ZC so it's as one site. Just a case of customising the ZC first.

Hi, This is the first time I have used any kind of ecommerce software and decided to try out Zen Cart after looking through some threads here. Seems a little more straightforward than say a Magento. I already have a domain set up with a basic home page designed. What I would like to do is add a shop section in the navigation for not more than 30 items. Sorry if this question is kind of basic, but it surrounds the installation. What I planned on doing was downloading the Zen Cart folder/files, then adding them to the root folder of my site. Customise the CSS to match the current design, then ftp up to my server. Is it that simple? Or is it not possible to integrate a cart such as Zen into a static HTML site? Thanks for any advice. Rob

Of course! Jeez, I just renamed it and it works!! Don't know what I was thinking, but thanks so much for pointing it out while I still have some hair left Yes Wickham, will keep an eye on the filenames in future. I'm going to blame this one on the heat ha ha.

Hi guys, I've added a jQuery slideshow to this site (I'm just experimenting with CSS and jQuery it's not for a client). The jQuery appears to be working, but is not hooking up with the images for some reason. Not ruled out it could be a CSS issue affecting things but not sure. This is the slider in question My html: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>artist</title> <link href="artstyles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="nivo-slider.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="jquery.nivo.slider.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(window).load(function() { $('#slider').nivoSlider({ }); }); </script> </head> <body> <div id="master"> <div id="header"> <div id="navbar"><a href="#">home</a> <a href="#">works</a> <a href="#">custom orders</a> <a href="#">shop online</a> <a href="#"> contact</a> <a href="#">blog</a></div> </div> <div id="subhead">Home - Artist</div> <div id="slider"> <img src="Art Images/pic1.jpg" width="990" height="500" alt="pic1" /> <img src="Art Images/pic2.jpg" width="990" height="500" alt="pic2" /> <img src="Art Images/pic3.jpg" width="990" height="500" alt="pic3" /> </div> <div id="footer">xhtml css jQuery</div> </div> </body> </html> and CSS: @charset "UTF-8"; #master { margin:0 auto; width:990px; } #master #header #navbar a { font-size: 16px; color: #333; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; text-decoration: none; display: block; height: 30px; width: 120px; float: left; text-align: center; } #header { position: relative; height: 150px; width: 990px; left: 0px; top: 0px; } #navbar { position: relative; height: 30px; width: 720px; left: 270px; top: 115px; display: block; } #subhead { position: relative; height: 15px; width: 990px; left: 0px; top: 0px; } #slider { position: relative; height: 500px; width: 990px; overflow: hidden; border: 1px solid #000; } #footer { position: relative; left: 0px; top: 0px; height: 15px; width: 990px; } Would really appreciate any help or advise, thanks!

I think its an excellent site Gareth. Can't see anything that could improve it in in either layout or function. I'm looking into learning Zencart by the end of the week. Would you know if it's possible to gain the same results as you have with this site? Top work.

Probably not a good idea to say you designed it when you didn't. http://hv-designs.co.uk/2009/11/30/cloud9-web-design-layout/ It's a good tut and you have followed it well. Maybe you could change a few things around and make it more your own? I'm sure the original designer says he wants credit if you do use it so be careful. edit: You should be ok on the copyright front going by his disclaimer.

Hi Tamizhan. You could try this i was looking at the other day. Not tried it myself but i think a few recommend it here. http://www.jemjabella.co.uk/php-scripts-php-mail-form

34 here and only started 6 or 7 months ago. Have lived and breathed it since then and have my first paying client starting in two weeks. Stick with it, soak up all the info you can and your hobby could turn into your bread and butter

Hey

Well had the 27imac for a month now and it's all good. Did take a while getting used to the resolution (2560x1440) and sometimes find myself sitting closer to the screen than usual (think i need an eye test lol). Design wise it's nice to have the space to put stuff where you want it and as said having two apps running side by side. By the time i finished my first site i got down a good workflow. Must admit though i made a basic error when i designed my site. I used 2560x1440 all the way through and only checked on 1024 once I'd finished Still was happy how it looked, but won't make same mistake again. Cheers

Thanks for the feedback. I'll sort those issues out today. I was wondering about the way i've done the rollovers. Is that a good way to do them? I mean they work fine and validate but wondered if that's the norm? Also, a bit off topic, but i used AP Divs for the layout. I know Div's are better than tables, but whats considered the best way to lay out a site? Iv'e read about floats and clears, is that the method used by most now days? And are there any good tuts around on them? As I'am starting out, i just want to do things right from the off and not relearn stuff 6 months down the line. Thanks for any advice.

Hi guys, Thought I would share my first attempt at building a site. Took me around 10 days and got through a couple of keyboards he he. I know design wise it's very basic, but i wanted to get a feel for how it all bolts together before the ascetic side comes into play. Still some content to add and general fiddling, and most of it i winged, so I'd welcome any comments. Especially on the code side. My link Cheers

Ha, thanks guys and cheers for the link. Yeah thought as much. It was the lack of larger screens around here that made me double check. Cheers Rob
