Can I get updates for my Ecommerce Plus Template?
A. Yes, we have built the Ecommerce Plus Templates
in a modular system with the ability to upgrade in mind.
You can get the latest updater here,
you can check the your version number in the main admin page
of you control panel. Updaters are cumulative so you will
only ever need to apply the latest release. For a full list
of features in recent releases, please check out our updaters
forum.
I need a SSL certificate for my web site to
use the Ecommerce Templates?
A. Depends on the payment provider you are
hooking up with..
When I open my php pages in Dreamweaver or Frontpage,
I don't see the products that are entered in my database,
or DHTML menu, (where applicable).
A. To view PHP dynamic content correctly, you must
use a webserver. You can use a local webserver such as Personal
Web Server or IIS with PHP installed to test, but you have
to view the page in a browser using a URL such as
http://localhost/mypage.php
Javascript / DHTML content must also be viewed in a browser
to see it correctly, but doesn't necessarily need a web server.
Can I link directly to a product category?
A. Sure. To find out the url that you need to link
to, set up your store and click on one of the product categories
from the categories.asp page. You should see a URL something
like this in the address bar in your browser...
http://www.yoururl.com/products.php?id=3
Just copy and paste this into your link and it will link directly
to your category.
I don't know if my host supports PHP. How can I tell?
A. Normally you can just ask your host, or look at
your hosting plan. Failing that, just create a simple page,
and in HTML view between the <BODY> and </BODY>
tags add this line of code...
<?php print("Hello World")?>
Now give the page a extension of .php and upload it to your
server. If when you view this page in a browser you just see
the text "Hello World" then you probably can use
PHP.
Can I change all the text that the store generates?
A. Yes you can, open the file vsadmin/inc/languagefile.php
and search for the text there that needs modifying.
Can I change the order of my product
listing and have products side by side?
A. Both these options can be changed in the file vsadmin/includes.php
- there are a number of tweaks that can be made and they
are outlined here. |
