I have it basically working but have run into a problem of understanding very early on that I can't seem to find an answer to. I have read the wiki's but still can't find the answer. I have created a new configuration template as per the instructions but I am unable to find the html or php file that determines the image on the front page (the rocket). If I go into developer mode on the live site, then I can see that a file is live and holds the code for the rocket image but when I look at the files on my computer (I uploaded the site to my local computer so I can mess with it and not break anything), then I cannot find a file that holds this image. I am trying to change the image on the front page but have stumbled at this early stage. I assume that the html code is being generated on the fly through PHP but help understanding exactly where I can point to a different front page image would be hugely helpful. index.html files are empty and I see that .inc.php files seem to hold the php and html code but I can't find the one I need. Apart from the steep learning curve as I am new to both HTML and PHP, I really like the look of LiteCart and think it wil do the job nicely once I figure out how it works. Thanks, Nick

The answer is simple In the admin part of the backend, look at the link on the left that says slides. Here you will find the rocket image. You can add your own slides to this section and they will loop in order. I suppose the priority determines the order they appear in. You can delete or disable the rocket slide and as we say in the UK, Bobs your Uncle. Much easier than I thought, just didn't know how to find the answer.

Otherwise, it is pretty straightforward given that the outcome is really very professional looking. Oddly, the default config is really like my existing site so it looks like I can just add this as a shop and whilst it won’t be seamless, it will be close and I suspect messing with the css file will help. Great resource.
tim Founder Alates Sweden Liige alates tim 23 jaan 2022 17:26 It is generally a bad approach to include one application in another. Instead, give the two sites the same design. Or find out if one is obsolete. You can easily create custom pages in LiteCart. See the wiki.
