Entire ZenCart Page Hierarchy...???

Is there anywhere I can see a hierarchy of ALL the pages in the ZenCart website?

I'm trying to customize my site but I keep finding (stumbling into) these extra pages that are completely messed up and need to be fixed...
the problem is I can't fix them if I don't know what exists, or where they are....and "stumbling" across them seems like an endless job.

Some sort of hierarchy map would be helpful...
I assume something like this exists for the ZenCart developers.

???

Messed up how?

Re: Entire ZenCart Page Hierarchy...???

EDIT: Let me clarify the type of pages I'm talking about...

  1. login page (after session timeout)
  2. edit address pages
  3. account page (and all it's sub-pages)
  4. others?

There's a whole bunch of these little secret sub-pages...
how can I know I got them all? :unsure:

Thanks.

Layout is messed up...
buttons not aligned, layout tables not formatted to my colors/format, etc.

AppleZen is a great template...but I took it a LOT further.
I need to complete formatting on ALL the pages, not just the surface pages.

All of the "sub" pages have their own templates in templates/template_default/templates - You'll need to copy any file you want to alter into your overrides.

Yeah, there's 96 of them...I was hoping to avoid changing ALL of them.
(I don't even know how to get MOST of those pages to display through the server/browser/website),
my site doesn't use all the features of ZenCart...so it's a bit overkill.

I suppose that's my only place to start though...
I was just thinking there may have been a sort of "family tree" drawn up for the development of ZenCart...
something that shows the main pages, with all their associated sub-pages listed beneath.

That way I could see what's-related-to-what...
and then I would only change the pages I need (or discover "secret" pages I overlooked).

Then again, I should know by now...it's never easy. sigh :wink:

Thanks!

The wording was specific. You only need to make override copies of the files you change.
