Using Dreamweaver templates and customization

[zirish08]

I very recently installed Zen Cart and I'm very new to PHP. I have designed a large chunk of my website using Dreamweaver templates and have finally gotten the website (minus the Zen Cart portion), the way I want it to look.

My question is this: Is it possible to apply a Dreamweaver template to ZenCart? I've looked at the template files from ZenCart and can't make heads or tails of them. I've done basic things to try to make it look more like my own website, but it still is so far from it that I'm losing hope.

Any help?

The short answer is no. Zencart templates are modified by changing the CSS file(s) and editing the template PHP files.

Darn!

Thank you for your quick response!

Actually, yes!

If your using version, MX, 8 or CS3. Less version no...

It's just a matter of setting up a PHP server and MySQL database and learning how to code php.

I stand corrected. So does Dreamweaver, in this case, become a combination FTP client / text editor / display browser? Is that how it works?

We actually have the same issues here. That's one thing to disturb my mind too. Good thing I have dropped by here, and I can actually relate on the subject matters as well. It was late last year when I decided to change my template using the Free Dreamweaver Templates ideas, all went well. It's just now that I experience a problem in Zen Cart when I decided to use it too.
