Editing my shopping cart page - how, if I can't find the "page"?

[gjh42]

I can get to my shopping cart page, the url is:

/index.php?main_page=shopping_cart

but can't find anything to edit in the Zen folder on my server.

...

I want to set up the page.

"Set up the [shopping cart] page" requires more explanation. The page layout is already set up; what do you want it to be like that it is not now?

"Im done" - that's not very nice.

Being nice generally isn't very helpful.

You've had several nice answers and you are still no further ahead. Why is that?

Do you have Zen Cart installed in a subfolder like /zencart/ or /store/?

Yes.

Then you will need to make an HTML link from your HTML site into the Zen Cart homepage.

Already done.

"Set up the [shopping cart] page" requires more explanation. The page layout is already set up; what do you want it to be like that it is not now?

Yes, I see the page layout. I don't need help with the layout.

Ok, in this example:

http://aurorascissors.com/store/inde...=shopping_cart

The items are on the page. Mine aren't. How do I get them there? And that's why "what do you want to change" is not a valid question. There is nothing to change, if i don't have anything yet.

Thank you again for the help.

First, I have a couple of questions: Why do you have Zen Cart installed in a folder with a link from an HTML page? Why aren't you using Zen Cart for the entire site? Static content can easily be added using Define Pages or EZ-Pages (my favorite).

Second, there's no way to answer the vague question you've asked. I see 9 items listed on the page you listed. 2 have images. The rest do not. What do you want to add to that page or change about it? What "items" do you want to add?

So what you want to change is to show products on the "empty shopping cart" page, where none are shown now. There is no way we could ever have figured that out from your previous questions.
This is the "New Products" centerbox, and you can enable it in admin > Configuration > Index Listing > Show New Products on Main Page. There may be a setting group specifically for showing centerboxes on the empty cart page, but I can't recall where the setting would be now.

Of course, he'd also have to have some products setup.

True; if there are no products that fit the criteria of "new", the centerbox would not show in any case.

Hi.

That page belongs to someone else; I was merely using it as an example.

Ok, I cant seem to find that. In my admin folder, I have 3 subfolders"

backups
images
includes

I do have a configuration.php, but where would I set that setting you referred to?

[gjh42]

Look in your Zen Cart admin control panel.

Why would you use someone elses website as an example of yours? Are you for real or are you just messing with forum?
