Loaded Commerce Community

Hi guys

I need a template for a new website i am creating on a bit of a shoe string budget. Does anyone know of any half decent cheap or free templates for Cre 6.4

Thanks for looking
Nick

Hi Nick

So you're not interested in modifying the cre63_ats that comes with the 6.4.x cart? That has quite a bit of flexibility. Otherwise you may be able to modify some osCommerce freebies, but often they're more work than time available IMO.

Hi Simon

Thanks for the reply. To be honest i hadn't considered that as i am not that good at changing design of an oscommerce/creloaded store. It has been some years since i played around with it. Can you point me in the right direction for me to read up on how i can change the site.

Hi Nick

So there's a couple of different angles on this 'customising a cart' you could take:
1. read the Cre docs: http://www.creloaded.com/Support/FAQ-Do ... pages.html
and as its a template system, you switch on / off what you need, change some colours through the admin menus, move stuff around, rewrite the text you see via the language editor in admin >> tools etc.

2. get into the code itself and modify it. This approach means a fair amount of time and willingness. I'd recommend starting with reading up on html and css at a beginner programming site like htmldog.com. Most people are in between the 2 approaches and employ a coder / developer like the ones listed in the lefthand column in 'Developers Showcase' to help them out when they want to do something ambitious.

Good luck!
Simon
