Then create buttons on your site that load a different stylesheet depending upon which button is pressed. Normally this controlled using javascript, but we use so much php in Zen Cart that you might prefer to keep it simple and allow the whole page to refresh.

Then you have to decide whether this will be a temporary change for this user i.e. just stored in a session variable, or whether you want it to be persistant. If it's the latter, then you will need to store the user's color preference which means either creating and writing a new field in the customer record in your database, or writing a cookie to the users PC.

thanx kuroi for the suggestion! actually, its beyond my capabilities as i am not only new to ZC but also new to pHp and mySQL things...but since i used ZC, i learn a lot especially thru these forum! if you have time, can you assist me on these only if it is possible to do?! btw, can we do advertisement something like when visitor visit the first page, there's some sort of splash advertisement suddenly popup to yor screen!

see here: http://www.utusan.com.my the splash advertisement (i think that's the name!) by HONDA.

any thoughts kuroi?! :mellow:

Hi Tajul

My suggestion for switching stylesheets is completely independent of anything in Zen Cart and can be applied to any site. Here's a step-by-step explanation of how it can be implemented.

The technical term for what you are enquiring about in your second post is a "pop up ad". These are generally frowned upon. Personally I have them blocked by my browser and avoid sites that try to foist them on me and other users. Not surprisingly then, I have never spent time working out how to make them and have no useful advice on the matter other than ... don't do it! :no:

thanx buddy! :thumbsup: your totally zenned!:yes:
