Hi all!
My first (serious) post so let me start with a brief introduction:
My name is Jerrad and i'm from the Netherlands. I've got limited html skills and got non with X-cart, but am also very eager to learn.
And one of the reasons i decided to go with X-cart, were the positive story's i red about this forum on the internet.
The last days (and nights) i did alot of reading in this forum and despite the difficulty of it, i understand the general principle of modifying and configuring.
What i really don't get (it isn't easy to admit being stupid...) is the way the layout is changed. I don't mean the colors, fonts, etc., etc., but changing the the standard template in a way it's hard to tell you're looking at a X-cart shop.
For instance how it's done with the following shop:
http://www.angelacarolpearls.com/
It looks like the menu on the left includes the logo and goes all way up next to the head.tpl. How and where was this done?
Same question for the table which includes the four images; where and how was this table inserted?
Can this only be done directly in the tpl templates or is there a visual way, maybe (in combination) with Dreamweaver or Frontpage (which i really hope...)?
I've got a zillion questions left but first of all i really want to learn how to change the layout to something like the shop mentioned above.
I hope somebody can help.
Many thanks in advance!
