During my sabbatical, I started playing around with osCommerce just for fun. I found a contribution that is awesome. It’s called the Simple Template System or STS for short. You can check out our store to get an idea of what the STS contribution can do. We aren’t 100% done with it yet, but you get the idea. To install the STS contribution it is better to start off with a clean osCommerce install with no other contributions added previously. The STS contribution is super easy to install. I’m not a coder and I had no problems installing it. After installing it, I created a template. I couldn’t get the Word Press theme template to work so I recreated a template of Webpuffs using plain HTML. Making the template is what took me the longest.  You could create your own template like I did, or buy a template.

The next thing you will discover is that the infoboxes leave little pics in the corners and that there are all those ghetto looking cartoon images by the page heading.  On my next post I will talk about how to get rid of the ghetto little cartoon images in oscommerce.  I have to go eat pizza.
