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.)
