Hi,

Can the fontend (store) design be customised separately from the backend (admin)?

If so do you have any documentation?

Hi,

The template for the frontend is in the root directory /templates. If you want to create one by yourself, you can duplicate one (from default or glass_gray directory) and change any data in the template.php file.
For example, imagine you have a new directory mytemplate, you will have to modify these lines in the file template.php:
class osC_Template_mytemplate extends osC_TemplateInfo {
var $_id,
$_title = 'MyTemplate',
$_code = 'mytemplate',
$_author_name = 'Helgvor STOLL',
$_author_www = 'www.mywebsite.fr',
$_markup_version = 'XHTML 1.0 Transitional',
$_css_based = '1', /* 0=No; 1=Yes */
$_medium = 'Screen,
...........

So, you will see mytemplate in the templates list in the backoffice and you can so start it (green button) and select it as default. Don't forget to flush your cache browser to be sure.

I didn't verify but for the backoffice, it's totally independant as the template is in the directory /admin (you can rename it for securities issue).

Hope I answered to your question.

Hi,

Is the tutorial available yet?
When I start using TomatoCart I have sites to run but I would like go make them look completely different from each other, not just moving boxes around, but really different.

Thanks

I agree a guide to redesigning the site would be very helpful.
