I feel dumb... what changes need to be added to the front end template for this to be useful? I just installed my first opencart today... usually use drupal / ubercart or magento, but a have a simple needs client and openCart is so far.

Yea I always wondered how that never seemed to make it into the readme. Perhaps the authors might be so kind to share that secret they've been holding lo' this many years

@imstillatwork: Welcome to OpenCart Be sure you download the latest 0.7.9 and not 0.7.8 as you will save yourself from suffering through over 100 bugs
