II. INSTALLATION

III. COMMENTS FOR DEVELOPER

There are several ways to customize the look and feel of X-Cart:

  1. You can modify the Smarty templates out of which the store's pages are built. The templates can be edited using X-Cart's "Edit templates" or "Webmaster mode" features or any decent text editor.

  2. You can modify the presentation of the store's pages (color, etc) by editing X-Cart's CSS files. These files can be edited using X-Cart's "Edit templates" feature or any decent text editor.

  3. You can upload your own images for use in the store's user interface to the directory /skin1/images/ and get the store's templates to use them. The images can be uploaded using FTP or X-Cart's "Edit templates" feature.

  4. Most of X-Cart texts are stored in "language variables". You can edit language variables under the "Languages" section of the admin interface.

For information on Smarty, refer to the Smarty manual at http://www.smarty.net/manual/en/.

For detailed information on editing X-Cart's template and CSS files, as well as instructions for editing X-Cart's language variables, refer to the User manual for your X-Cart version.
