Great video… those people who dislike this video are just jealous cos they are foreign and can’t understand english. :P

@SteveBraithwaite But they all display the same graphics. Also on that version you got there we have to create fixes and hacks for stuff to display properly. Haven’t tried the new version of Ie yet though…

@SteveBraithwaite What?? IE is the one having trouble :O!

I will be creating an e-commerce website for a friend. However, I am a beginner website developer. I need to how what other tutorials and information I need to gather in order to get started.  Something that is self-explanatory with hands-on exercises. Thanks

I saw each videos & really enjoy it. Easy to understand presentation. After seeing these videos, integration of OsCommerce shopping cart looks very easy task.

I gotta go to college to learn all that stuff. It would take me four years to learn how to build ecommerce website. I don’t know anything about MySQL, APache, Php and so on. :-(

@Spellatchi
Checkout DepotNet dot com, they have an optimized oScommerce shopping cart and offering product data & images loading and inventory updating services at very affordable prices.

what SOMEONE needs to do is to create a damn installer so EVERYTHING you need to set up an online store is included and installed into the correct places. its hard enough figuring out how to edit a CSS/PHP webpage, let alone, installing all these add -ons and such just to get the damn thing to work.

I have installed Xampp.. and osCommerce.. but now in order to use templates I must also install STS ?

Why dont you jsut chuck on some google adsense advertising. Youd probly make more money that way. Depends on how many people are going on to your site though. Anyways just my two cents.

LOLL the goggles! u can get ANYTHING in india! :P

Is all Ecommerce website editing layouts the same, I mean just the setting up part, not the main website.

Well I think its natural if you would take money for the work you have done, since you have put your time into it. And as we all know time = money. So the real question would be do you want to save time or money? So its a trade, still I wouldnt pay, cause I have the time to do it myself. Nice work though.

I have over 35,000 part numbers to enter into an e-commerce site. They are all saved in excel complete with part #, decription, and price. Can I enter thi many into the OSCommerce site?

Thank you very much for the fantastic comments.

I never would have figured out how to set this up my eCommerce shopping cart without this excellent series of tutorials. OsCommerce ought to have these video tutorials instead of their confusing manual.

nmberg January 17, 2012 at 9:14 am

You’re the man!!!
