Dear
Balinor,
I know
you think that
thread is helpful, but for someone who has never used x-cart it might as well be greek! Well, I think I might be better off with greek.
I mean yes, that tells me what files to
TRY to use to make the design work.
Try being the operative word.
I have been pointed at the thread so many time I could spit! (Probably by you, no insult intended
)
(I hate to rant, but this is frustrating!)
I appreciate that you want to help (god knows I love the fact people out there are at least trying and usually succeeding), but if only that file had all the answers then the forum wouldn't be needed.
I can't tell where I am suppose to put anything with that thread.
Yes, it goes in file such and such, but what can/do I put in, where exactly in the file do I put it? That would be a step-by-step guide for the newbies here.
If we knew what to do next, we wouldn't be newbies.
I mean can I do a design in HTML and just stick it in the top and the rest of the site will conform around it? (I think not) So, then what do I do?
I know you don't/can't have all the answers, but unlike
every other code out there I've ever used, who had a book I could get and read and reference, this doesn't appear to have the fine points laid out for the beginner. The manual seems to me to be no help, and for something so
easy to customize why is it that it seems I have to pay someone else to make a custom design site? Is there actually a book x-cart for dummies? I haven't found one and there isn't one on the O'reilly site that I've seen.
and
Donnay2 4.12 (4.1.12? or 4.1.2?) does not make it 4.2 (but 4.2.0 is a completely different system to edited and If I thought the 4.1.11 was hard, now I have to learn it all over and I still can't do the basics from the last version!)
So If it's possible after all of this to help Donnay2 with he's other changes and maybe the rest of us with some more help.
We would GREATLY appreciate it!
Thanks
-- frustrated x-cart user!
