customize

Hi,

How easy is it to change the look of a zen cart website. I mean you may want a different layout, graphics, add links etc.

Once you understand the templating system all of this is changeable/customizable

Where do i start to learn about the template system?

I read in the docs that you must code to css1 html3.2 is this correct?
This is really a step backwards by the sound sof it, tell me this isn't true with zencart.

To create a very basic custom template (you can build from there), you need:

• includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php
• includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/index.php
• includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php (to change the logo)
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/logo.gif
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css

Any where you see a /classic/ folder, you can create a folder for your custom template.

Some ofthe documentation is dated...

Current version is xhtml compliant, modtly div based in the front end, and uses responds to all css2 entries.
