I have a new OpenCart shop using 1.5.5.1 with R.Gen template from Themeforest. It's still slow so needs some optimizing, but I'm pretty pleased with it so far.

I give away a lot of free stuff so I've added the extension Download free downloadable products without checkout. Other mods include Keep it Simple Checkout!, Zone Plus Table Rate Shipping, and Information Pages Hierarchy.

I did some custom flipbook mods so you can "Click to Look Inside the Book!" as shown here:

Looks great, Kerry! One comment: because of the scrolling boxes for Description and Reviews, which cover the width of the content, scrolling down on the page is usually interrupted if your cursor is over these boxes. Maybe this only annoys me, but I would skip the boxes and just have the whole content on the page.

Thanks, Johnathan, I appreciate it! The scrolling boxes are part of the R.Gen Template, but I'll look into modifying that.

Any other comments also welcome.

Hi Kerry.

I finally found you!

I emailed you a few days ago on a issue I was mega stuck on, hope you can help.

I am a newbie to opencart. My tech started me off and told me to go away and learn by doing, to some extent I have managed to install my images myself and added the details HOWEVER I am stuck on trying to get my thumbnails to align horizontally as opposed to downwards which takes up a lot of space.

I have never worked on the back end and have tried searching everywhere. I have even bought your wonderful book Opencart 1.5 user manual , however I can't seem to find how to fix it.

please help me.

I don't understand those brown links... I would have kept using shades of blue across the whole website.
