Overview
ZenCart is a free, open-source application for running an online store. It is a fork of osCommerce.

Differences from osCommerce
- Plusses
- Runs with or without register globals on
- More friendly managing of admin security
- Supports multiple admin users, with different privilege levels
Notes
- When told to create the configure.php files and make them writeable, do not bother editing them; the web-based install overwrites what is in the file.
- The "ZenCart" and "Sashbox" banners which appear down the sides and at the bottom can be turned off in the "banner manager" tool. Also, inside the "Layout Boxes Controller" tool are modules named "banner_box.php", "banner_box_all.php", and "banner_box2.php"; these probably/maybe have something to do with how/where banners are displayed (when there are any to display).
- In the admin section, the username is case-sensitive. (Passwords are usually case-sensitive, but not usernames.)
Modifying the Admin area
- admin contains the files which implement the menu actions (i.e. when you click on a menu entry)
- admin/includes/boxes contains the definitions of the menus and their drop-downs
- somewhere there is a file which includes all the various files in each of these folders; to add a new custom menu, you need to edit this file and then create files in the above directories
