Summary
In this unique book, osCommerce expert "Monika in Germany" lets you in on her secrets on how to hack your way to that perfect osCommerce site. This cookbook provides you with ready-made solutions for customizing your osCommerce installation and seasoning it with exciting new features. With a total of 69 recipes, this book helps you improve all important areas of your default installation. Written by an acknowledged osCommerce expert, the book not only gives you ready made solutions that you can easily incorporate into your system, but it also explains to you how these solutions work and shows you in detail how to implement them. This also helps you learn about the underlying API and later create your own variations to suit your very own taste. The focus of this book is not to teach osCommerce, but to give solutions to specific problems. For learning osCommerce, we suggest that you either read Building Online Stores with osCommerce: Professional Edition or Building Online Stores with osCommerce: Beginner Edition. This cookbook, however, can be a great companion for any of these books. osCommerce has been around since March 2000. At present there are over 10,000 live, registered osCommerce sites, and about 100,000 registered community members. Apart from providing ready-made solutions to problems, as well as a huge repository of information, the osCommerce community is a living entity with which we can all interact. With the rising success and popularity of this remarkable piece of software, things can only get better. The book has 11 chapters, each dealing with a different aspect of osCommerce. Chapter 1 equips you with a few very easy and very important changes to the basic design which will make developing and later modifying a whole new template a breeze. Chapter 2 will help you modify your navigation to ensure a smoother shopping experience for your customers. Chapter 3 covers infoboxes and turns you into an expert in tweaking them to your needs. Chapter 4 deals with one of the most important visual parts of your shop, the product display in the listings and the detail page. Chapter 5 outlines different methods to make searching on your site a fun experience. You want your customers to use your search and to find the products you want to sell to them.
