    Default Re: Help With Template Customizations Please?

    Umm, I have looked there, that was actually the very first resource I used... I mean, it's possible that I just didn't dig enough, but honestly I search and searched... even in the forums.

    There is not a whole lot of information on how to go about hacking the tpl_main_page file to suit your needs...

    Umm, so any other suggestions? Can you recommend a tutorial or link I may have missed?

    First of all, where did you get the template from that you're trying to use?

    Although you might be able to adapt one of those templates for Zen Cart, they weren't designed for Zen Cart. There are free templates available specifically for Zen Cart at http://(sorry, site offline)/

    Thanks Mary, but I really like that one... you can tell when looking at a Zen Cart site, I really would like to adapt that one so it looks different...

    Is there a way???

    It wouldn't be a big deal to make a homepage like that for Zen Cart, but there is no room in the template for most of ZC's e-commerce features. You would have to turn off all of the sideboxes and use some header features and mods for basic functionality, like a categories-tabs dropdown menu.

    You need to do some thinking and sketching to decide approximately how you want to present the various features you actually need (and write a list of all the features you will use), before we can advise on how to get them to work for you.

    Hi Glenn,

    Well that does make sense... But actually, having the homepage like that would be a great start.

    So are you saying it possible, just ridiculously cumbersome???
