HTML/CSS Template

[dvdd127]

I have an HTML/CSS template I would like to use for my shop. What is the easiest way I can go about implementing the template?

TIA for your help.

Concentrate on the CSS portion. The HTML is built on the fly by php.

okay.. is there a tutorial I might be able to follow to import my CSS?

You can't just import CSS. It needs to refer to the specific tags, IDs and classes for the underlying HTML. The ones generated by Zen Cart will undoubtedly be different from those defined by the template that you have.

Templates can only be plugged into Zen Cart if they have been designed for it, otherwise you need to build you own Zen Cart template (tutorials available from the link in the orange bar above) using the images and colors from the HTML template that you like.

I understand this.. I am asking if there is a tutorial I can follow that will help to to make my template work with ZenCart.

Not really. The best resource will be Firefox with its Web Developer extension - this will let you find the classes and ids that apply to every page element in Zen Cart. You can then apply your properties to the appropriate elements. The selectors in your HTML/CSS template will have about zero to do with ZC elements.

You might want to check the free templates at http://(sorry, site offline)/ and see if there's anything close to your design and use that as a guideline to create your own template.
