Hello.

Sorry if this post is a bit ridiculous. I am a total newbie in Zencart.
I have this website: www.cps-anti-nuisibles.fr

Is there a way to make it a zencart website and sell products on it (Those are products to kill rats and bed bugs)

Thanks a lot

You question is not exactly "on topic" for this thread.. You should re-post it in a new post if you hope to get some meaningful responses..

Yes, wincing...

A good discipline used by all programmes would be to rename: MyStylesheet.css to MyStylesheet.bak
This is the normal way of preventing any executable from reading any .css you don't want it to read.

This rule applies to any application using any component file, eg. My.dll becomes My.dll-BAK etc., etc....

I realize this is somewhat of a dated post that I am commenting on. The suggestion above wasto rename the extension of a replaced file with bak as the only extension or to add a hypen and the bak. While I do not work in the SEO business or for any of the search engine groups, etc. Reports have recently been that the final extension should not be simply bak. Ie, in the above example MyStylesheet.bak would be considered a potential pci scan issue. The practice of renaming the extension of a file to be disabled is a good practice. There are some directories though that will read all files regardless of the extension. The disabled files should be removed from the system however once identified unnecessary and no longer needed there. A backup copy should be kept though, just in case.

Upon further review, consideration, and feedback, I am modifying my previous statement in this subsequent post.

Ie, in the above example MyStylesheet.bak would be considered a potential pci scan issue. The practice of renaming the extension of a file to be disabled is a good practice. There are some directories though that will read all files that for example end in .php and future development may expand the extension(s) that are autoread . The disabled files should be removed from the system however, once identified unnecessary and no longer needed there. A backup copy should be kept though, just in case.

While the impact of my incorrect statement would be to significantly minimize extraneous files on the server, it would have a negative impact on understanding of how ZC works, the expectations when making modifications, and ways to use that functionality when developing (and troubleshooting) new programs and plugins.

So when "disabling" a file, modifying the filename say from filename.php to filename.phpold14-09-23 would be sufficient (if not overly so) to prevent the file from being loaded by the default ZC code. As shown above, this filename also would indicate to reviewers that it was renamed on the 23rd day of the 9th month of the "14th" year. (Sequence chosen to facilitate sorting of files by name as this sequence, YY-MM-DD, will sort keeping the year and month in sequence and any day adjacent to the next/previous.)

Happy Zenning!

I'm of the mindset that keeping backup versions of older files ON THE SITE is BAD LAZY PRACTICE and leads to a messy hosting space.. Keep backups sure.. store them someplace else..

I whole heartedly agree. Backups should be kept offsite and in redundant locations. If they include sensitive information they should also be encrypted (and the encryption key stored in a different secure location).
