I am looking for a very simple way to present my items in a scroll like manner..and do not want to have any images. Please see both attachments for a better idea of what i am looking for. How do I go about getting this done?

you can add only one product/xx products to your shop and use options to customize it, but I can't believe you can do everything you want with opencart by default. Maybe buying some option extension on the market to extend options functionality.

The same pair of cart images hadn't been in terms of scrolling the day before (http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?f=110&t=117883), so you presumably want something that scrolls. How is that supposed to differ from normal scrolling by hand when pages are taller than the screen?

Ways of handling options come to mind where, for example, both Qphoria (http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php ... 12#p468689) and Xyph3r (above) sensed that as what you might be trying to find or find how to do. The Extensions button top right asked options will lead to an array of extensions that handle various aspects of options, in varied ways and combinations.

If you load stock OC with categorized products having options, then OC can handle that very gracefully. The other thread still leaves some of us wondering what the question actually was, images (none) or options (as between the two "cart" images, without any pictures of pizzas in them). How to sort out pizza options should be as easy as spelling it out for customers at a service counter, for the sake of giving them to OC instead. That speaks to the thrusts of your first of your three threads (http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=117599) -- yes, it is doable.

The present thread leaves us wondering what you mean by scrolling. For example, the context and presentation of either "scrolling" or instant moves to specific page positions in http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=117652 is probably not going to work very well for pizzas or their options. Among other differences, the two subjects command entirely different attention spans and interests.

What are you trying to accomplish? Never mind pizza images, we understand, no pizza images, just words. If your essential concern is how to design it, with basic function out of the way (in your first thread) and with pizza images out of the way (in your second thread, with the same two cart images as above), then (a) you can make the most of the simplicity and safety in the default theme, or instead (b) you can find or stumble onto a somehow prettier theme with risk that it will interfere with OC core, or instead (c) you can have someone put it together for you in a package that is visually special to your own store. It seems likely that all three of those would warrant having someone mind the way options work. In any event you need a menu of pizzas -- names, cheeses, toppings, doughs, garnishes, sizes, thicknesses, prices, ancillary goodies and drinks, deliveries, and whatever else is done nowadays. Starting with carefully specified particulars that will become organized "options" will probably work out better than would the reverse. You will build and cook a pizza. A customer will build and eat it. In between OC will show how to build it before you build it before a customer eats it. I think you're worrying about design and about not knowing what your questions are. You'll get there.
