osCommerce, ZenCart and CRELoaded are arguably the most powerful shopping carts available. But they can be a real pain to customize! Why?
- It's hard to know which contributions are the right ones to download.
- They don't come with good tools for some basic administration tasks.
- One small mistake can disable your whole shop until you find the error!
And that's the problem!
You don't want to hire someone else to customize your store, you want do it yourself! You can do it, and this guide is here to help you.
Just a few years ago, like many of you, I stumbled upon osCommerce. I had some prior programming experience, but I hadn't used it for years. I knew some HTML, had made a few web pages, but really wasn't a programmer. I installed osCommerce, and started browsing through the long lists of contributions. I couldn't believe how much you could get for free! There was one catch though, I had to install it all myself.
Over the next few years, I spent many long hours installing, uninstalling, and reinstalling different versions of osCommerce, ZenCart, and CRE Loaded. I installed and customized templates, payment and shipping modules. I actually dreamed about osCommerce a few times. Really.
I've learned tools, tricks, and techniques to get things done right the first time. This book will help you learn those tricks, techniques, and how the pieces of osCommerce fit together.
Even if you don't have much programming experience, you probably consider yourself reasonably intelligent. You're willing to try to customize your store, at least a little, all by yourself. This guide is for you.
If you've got absolutely no programming experience, but are willing to take the plunge and try to figure things out anyway, then this guide is for you too.
If you've been playing around with osCommerce (or ZenCart or CRE Loaded) for quite a while, there are still some tricks and techniques here that can help. Some things may be just reminders or clarifications of things you already know, but the time you will save with even just a few of the techniques in this guide will be well worth its purchase price.
Stop worring about having to test new features really quickly and then hurrying to undo them before customers see that they're not working right. Have the peace of mind that you can stop in the middle of installing a contribution and come back the next day, without getting lost and having to start over again. Have the confidence and ability to make your store what you want it to be, not what your programmer thinks you can afford it to be.
