Hi
I have my zen cart up and running, thanks for all the help so far.
I need a very basic and simple cart, as I have just one product. I therefore want to do away with the main shopping cart page, and go direct to the checkout. At this point I want to have all of the details on one page, no register or signup or anything. I would very much appreciate advice on two main points.
1 How do I alter the 'page flow'? Especially how do I get zen cart to begin with a different page. If this is the wrong question, how do I get zen cart to have as its first page one of the pages at present a later page. I have tried altering the main page status, but this seems to make no difference to where the program 'goes'.
( I have read the ezpages material several times, but it doesn't seem to contain any info on how to actutally insert a new page!?!? I must be having a brain dead day, I've read through 'What is ezpages? ' many times and I just don't get it. I don't understand what it is. Is it a set of instructions? Is it a way of doing things? How do I actually use it? I have found the ezpages settings in admin, but I don't understand how to use them.
Please could someone tell me 'to make a new page you ...'. )
2 How do I alter the things on the page. This seems such a basic question that I am sure it is in the help files somewhere, but I can't find it! I have looked at all of the categories on admin page, and all of the categories on the admin wiki. So I must be looking straight at it, and not seeing it.
Layout seems to be about the way a preset set of things are displayed.
I want to get elements from various pages and put them onto one page.
I have a feeling that if I knew more about php and web programming these would be trivial questions, but I have done a php tutorial ( excellent one at php.net/tut.php) and looked hard at all the upper level directories but I am no wiser. In case it helps, I'm a C/UNIX programmer, which may be getting in the way!
I feel that what I really need to know is
1 How zen organises the page flow / links, and how one can change this.
2 How zen builds a page - clearly using php - and how one can program that process. I've found all the pages in catalog/includes/modules/pages, but I don't understand what happens.
