Chinese store: Know what mods they are using?

[SPH]

Recently noticed this site:

http://www.ulovebridal.com/

A Chinese site: http://www.ulovebridal.com/contact_us.html

Chinese sites have been harming our industry (the US designers and retailers are now being affected) and some appear to me to be using zencarts.

Anyway, I kind of like the site and it should be reproducible regardless of the cart. I guess main thing is the side flyout menu that looks better than anything I ever made when using one. Footer menu looks enhanced. Good graphics and product layout.

Here's it's related site: http://www.beebridal.com/

Most Chinese sites I've seen look nice. Since these Chinese sites copy the US designer photos for their use (I even found one of my photos on one!) and make copies of dresses for outrageously low prices, I figure it is fair to appropriate everything from their website that I like.

Is it a zencart?

Yes it is

Outstanding! Then everything I see on that site is possible for us, including the general look.

And I must say that I've seen zencarts that look every bit as good as anything else out there, including Magento. (Which many Chinese sites are.)

Re that side fly out menu: looks like part of the look is effected by making a thicker border around the categories box. Reminds me of a big-box side menu. Amazon?

This is a Chinese competitor site which I suspected and was confirmed on the Pub is a zencart:

Does anyone know what mods they are using, or how they may have made, their product layout extra information: the extra links "Color Chart", "Size Chart", etc., just below the price, and again just above the Facebook icons. Basically, all of the extra, non-standard stuff on their product page.

Thanks.

Sorry, probably should have posted in the Templates, Stylesheet, Layout thread.

Now I see that the extra links jump down to the various tabs. Possibly not necessary, but I think they look nice and probably help the customer.

Maybe a question for Tabbed Products Pro or such?

Probably custom-coded into the product info template file, but you should be able to do something similar with the mod you mentioned, and coding the links into tpl_product_info_display.php.

Thanks, looks doable.
