Is there any tutorials or anything that I can refer to as far as editing my shopping cart site after it has been uploaded to my hosting account? I know this is probably a stupid question, but I know my way around editing HTML...but not PHP. I see all kinds of tips and tricks in the forums, and I'd like to try some...and I have always been under the impression that all the code that is given out in the tips and tricks, is to be pasted into the code for the site after it has been uploaded already. Am I completely wrong? I ask because the only files I can find to work from are PHP files...basically I'm just wanting to know where I'm supposed to be pasting any coding I get from the tips and tricks, or any other place I find it.

Sorry if I confused you all :D

Hey Chris,

What exactly are you trying to edit after the fact. Chances are you may be able to do it within the program.

Yes that can be done from within the application. I'll put a short tutorial together on how to add it.

Thanks, that tutorial really helped! Right now I'm having an issue with all that code showing up instead of the slider when I view the page. What I'm looking at right now is only on a WAMP virtual server for testing purposes, but I doubt that would be the problem. I've put both of the necessary folders in the root of the site on WAMP....could it have anything to do with me also having code in the header for a Sticky Footer? I figured as long as the tags are closed off, it shouldn't be an issue...but right now it is.

Did you make sure you selected the html element to paste your code into?
