class hierarchy ?

[winky3d]

Just got the book and it's great.

But is there a page on this site that shows the relationship between scripts?

ie. this tpl_x calls this module

There are over a 1,000 scripts many calling (or including) many others to create (I estimate) 10,000 connections. I'm afraid that would be simply too complicated to construct let alone maintain. What is it that you're trying to do?

[winky3d]

Point taken...

I'm just trying to get oriented.
I've found some things, and that should make further exploring easier.

I should have used the word 'class'.

the Zen-Cart Program Flow Doc helps a lot:

The Program Flow Link is helpful (I didn't know about that!).

However, I'm now a bit confused about . There are two types of class in Zen Cart: PHP classes and CSS classes. I'm not sure to which you are referring.

The former is a collection of methods (functions) that relate to a particular object in Zen Cart (such as the database class that contains methods for manipulating the database object). They don't really link to anything other than their object. On the rare occasions that I need to find out where their methods are used, I just use the search facility in Dreamweaver to find them. The Zen Cart Developers Toolkit could do this too.

The latter is an attribute used to group a collection of similar XHTML elements so that common styling can be applied to them. These link only to the elements that they style and usually I'm more interested in finding which classes (or IDs apply to an element) than which elements have a particular class. So for that the Firebug extension to Firefox is my tool of choice, as it allows me to point to an element and see all the CSS that is active and even tweak it to see the effects.

I hope that is going some way to helping.
