A difficulty sometimes faced by users of osCommerce
relates to the system used by osCommerce to layout and
arrange the store. osCommerce is not a template
driven system, and this sometimes makes changing
the layout of the store somewhat lengthy if
complicated changes from the base look of the site are
required.
Having said this, osCommerce effectively allows
quick changes to the look of the site by altering the
shared header, footer, and left and right column
files. These can be easily and quickly updated and the
change is reflected through all pages. It is also
possible to quickly change the styles and colors
used on the site using the style sheet.
There have been indications from the core osCommerce developers that a template orientated
system might be available in the future. Contributions
are available to assist with customizing the template.
