OScommerce gurus- I need some help here (how to install template/theme)

Ok so I got contracted on this job without knowing how hard OScommerce can be. I haven't really dived into but a few people have told me how hard it is to work with.

I have a template I need to apply, how do I go about doing this?

I found this-

But seems like a bit of work just to install the template.

 

I found this http://www.themestock.com/InstallingOSCommerceTemplates.php

to be a bit more understandable... and yeah, oscommerce is a train wreck. I would try to use zencart, its better, faster, and way more usable, especially if your client thinks he is going to manage his site. It is a fork of oscommerce.


hope that helps.

how about these e-commerce software ? (oscommerce included)

 

wah..wondering how u accept the job u do not know how to solve it..

 

Can I use the OScommerce templates for Zen Cart?

I sorta got suckered into it.

 

No, you can't use oscommerce templates on zencart. But, you can grab zencart template, upload it, and call it a day. Its a piece of cake and much easier to deal with.

Well if that's the case I might persuade the client to make the switch. Thanks for the heads up.

 

If ever the client don't want to switch, you can call me for your oscommerce needs. Most of my work are oscommerce and cre based. I also have experience with start from scratch, ecommerce websites.

Let me know if you're interested and will be happy to help you.
