How to merge the spry widgets and apture pages onto a CRE/OSC site.

Wednesday, July 23, 2008

There is one relavent videocast: "OSC to add a new page". The CRE is enssentially a OSC, this tutorial is applicable to both CRE/OSC. The basic element of the CRE/OSC, is a box, and the info box is what we need to work with.


The default pages are part of the standard installation, are created once the CRE is installed. The CRE/OSC's approach to the e-commerce application, is expecting everyone to use the package for a store application.


A CRE/OSC page has a lot of connections to the supporting infrastructure. The video cast is to show you now to connect to its infrastructure. And it is much easier to create a new page by replicating from an existing one, like the videocast has shown. Once the page is created, we simply place what we would put on a normal page inside of the center info box.

A CRE/OSC page is a holder of many boxes. We need to create different info box to go into different pages. So by copying from an existing page, we retain all the necessary mechanism in place, just to follow the video tutorial to change to their proper connection. Since the php scripts are to interface the user and database, and create the store operation. And we are not going to change how the store works, hence no need to modify those php scripts. What we are trying to do here is to have a few more information pages to show content like language programs, our advantages and values, ...etc.
It is most logical to create blank page from the index.php, like the one on this page: http://cre2.plus247.com/index.php. Then we simpy have to enter the content to the center info box,
