I've been custom coding my own sites and designs for 8 years or so now, but never got into creating templates for anything and now this is almost a necessity as I need something launched as soon as possible. I have my design, it was hand coded into html & css by me and I also coded my own shopping cart, HOWEVER I don't want to risk security through my inexperience in a shopping cart and just want to convert this design to work with zen and a certain payment module that works through zen.
I only have 4 products, all I need is when someone clicks the product, it takes them to the product page where they can add to cart. That's all I need! I don't want the 3-column layout with categories, search, etc. I've been digging and digging and reading the documentation, but it all seems so much more cluttered and difficult than what I'm simply trying to do. If I could just hard-code, split my page into <header> <body> <footer>, <product_display>, and <cart_display> I'd be in heaven... Am I missing a simple document somewhere?

Re: Seems so simple, but driving me crazy!
Yes. you are missing Tutorials / FAQ on top of this page.
what you want to do is accomplished through admin section .
you can turn off both side boxes leaving center box , you can turn off center boxes .
shopping cart option is available only as side box , however, there is a simple addon that will show shopping cart in header.

Re: Seems so simple, but driving me crazy!
i'm not wanting to turn off the side boxes, I want to hard-code my current HTML into a new template and use the zencart template variable to send the user from main page -> product page -> checkout... that's it!

Re: Seems so simple, but driving me crazy!
I take that back, sorry. I'm beginning to gain some ground here by referencing default_template... However, where does the original styling come from when I don't have a file in place? For example, I'm trying to display my main content using Originally Posted by cilaes
