Template Editing on hosted solution
Are there any tutorials on how to really edit the template on the hosted solution?
I mean to edit a sample template to change it completely. The easy editor is very restrictive and
does not seem to work as expected in most cases. I want to know what to do to create my own template
for use with a hosted solution.
I want my store to look like this
http://www.virtualdrum.co.uk/store
It's a working osc store, but osc is hard to work with, so I am looking at paid solutions.
Using a hosted solution here, how do I make my store template look this the site above?
I know html and css... just need some guidelines or a tutorial to understand what is going on here.

Re: Template Editing on hosted solution
The basic rules are these:
1. Write the HTML markup for your new template in the Advanced mode.
2. Add the following special comments to the places, where you want to embed standard design elements (embeddable via links in the right-hand panel in the WYSIWYG mode: Info pages, Tag Cloud, Product lists, etc.):
Code:
<!-- cpt_container_start --><!-- cpt_container_end -->
3. Once you have written the basic markup, you can switch back to the simple mode and embed the desired elements to their places (marked with special comments as shown above).
4. Do NOT add custom code inside those special comments, because they will most probably be overwritten/removed by the design editor.
Wrong example:
Code:
<!-- cpt_container_start --><div><strong>Some text</strong></div>{cpt_custom_html code='8g1gd6h8' overridestyle=':7n698c'}<!-- cpt_container_end -->Correct example:
Code:
<div><strong>Some text</strong></div><!-- cpt_container_start -->{cpt_custom_html code='8g1gd6h8' overridestyle=':7n698c'}<!-- cpt_container_end -->Be careful what you wish for — you might get it.
