Hi Folks,
Just finished this new store with OC 1.5.0.5. Great piece of software. Really easy to get it set up and customised, although I do need to spend some time optimising the markup and css.
Comments good or bad appreciated

Very nice site and compliments on the gfx

But is there any particular reason not to use the SEO-links ?
This would greatly improve scoring in searchengines, in my opinion...

It's all ready to go, I just haven't got around to entering the SEO keywords yet

Did you remember to setup your .htaccess file ?
Here's the 1 I'm using:
(Please note lines 7,9 and 10)
Code: Select all
# 1.To use URL Alias you need to be running apache with mod_rewrite enabled.
# 2. In your opencart directory rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess.
# For any support issues please visit: http://www.opencart.com
# Options +FollowSymlinks
# Prevent Directoy listing
# Options -Indexes
# Prevent Direct Access to files
<FilesMatch "\.(tpl|ini|log)">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</FilesMatch>
# SEO URL Settings
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\?*$ index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
### Additional Settings that may need to be enabled for some servers
### Uncomment the commands by removing the # sign in front of it.
### If you get an "Internal Server Error 500" after enabling any of the following settings, restore the # as this means your host doesn't allow that.
# 1. If your cart only allows you to add one item at a time, it is possible register_globals is on. This may work to disable it:
# php_flag register_globals off
# 2. If your cart has magic quotes enabled, This may work to disable it:
# php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
# 3. Set max upload file size. Most hosts will limit this and not allow it to be overridden but you can try
# php_value upload_max_filesize 999M
# 4. set max post size. uncomment this line if you have a lot of product options or are getting errors where forms are not saving all fields
# php_value post_max_size 999M
# 5. set max time script can take. uncomment this line if you have a lot of product options or are getting errors where forms are not saving all fields
# php_value max_execution_time 200
# 6. set max time for input to be recieved. Uncomment this line if you have a lot of product options or are getting errors where forms are not saving all fields
# php_value max_input_time 200

Yes, but I was updating it and the config files, but now whenever I try to upload anything the file size ends up as 0. Any ideas?

Fixed, phew. I generated a full site backup earlier which took it over the disc space quota

Very nice store.I think the theme is great, did you made it?

Yes, all my own work except you can still see some elements of the original opencart theme. It has some nice features which were worth keeping.
And I'll definitely be using opencart again. It's brilliant!

Very professional and unique theme. Well done!
But have you thought about adding e.g. Contact and Brands (roll-out maybe) option in the header menu?

I should probably put a contact link up there. I'll have something for brands when I get more brands

You should think about selling your theme, it rocks! I was looking for something like this, but I couldn't find it in the themes stores.

Thanks very much!
I might think about selling a similar theme but it needs a bit of tidying up first.

Hi chips,
Sounds like a good idea; did you just customize the default theme?
Also, little hint...
To avoid people seeing the padding of images etc, in your catalog/stylesheet find:
and add
Doing this will remove the outline that you see when ever you click on a link/the logo etc.

Yeah it is a heavily modded version of the default theme as there are some really nice features in it, like the whole checkout process and account management. That will probably stop me from selling it I would have thought.
Nice tip, I'd never heard of that one before, thanks very much!
