When I open my php pages in Dreamweaver , I don't see the products that are entered in my database
- 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.
Can I link directly to a product category?
- 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?
- 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?
- Yes you can, open the file vsadmin/inc/languagefile_en.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?
- 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.
