[x] to close it. When a hit to close, it took me again to a similar template
( this time "Modified Profile" ). This is much better than X-Cart , but still a little confusing. Is there any way to take customer back to other page ( I don't know maybe last page visited, or Home Page, etc ).
My other question: I see you don't have a "Member" area on your main page; instead you have a "Login" link that take customers to a Login Template. Is that template a new feature on your version ? Because I don't have that Template. If not, and if it is a Mod, could you tell me how you get it ?
I appreciate any help on this matter.
Again thank you for share with others !!

Aldo,

Thanks for the questions. If you are talking about the login page, I think that is custom. I basically just made a file called login.php

<?php 
/* Custom page added by Shane 2004.11.26 */
require "./auth.php";
#
# Assign Smarty variables and show template
#

$smarty->assign("main","login_form");
$smarty->assign("location", $location);
func_display("customer/home.tpl",$smarty);
?>

Then I make a template skin1/customer_auth.tpl

{* $Id: auth.tpl,v 1.39 2004/06/28 11:38:38 mclap Exp $ *}
{capture name=menu}
{if $login ne ""}
<h2>{$lng.lbl_welcome_back} 

{$name.firstname} {$name.lastname}</h2>
{else}
<table cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center" width="100%">

Then you just have to edit skin1/customer/home_main.tpl

Add this line after all the "elseif" statements

{*  Added by shane 2004.11.26 *}
{elseif $main eq "login_form"}
{include file="customer_auth.tpl"}

Simple as that, now you have a login page instead of a login box.
