    Default Basics 101 - WHERE do I change or Modify things at?

    Basics 101

     In the event there are others out there who have struggled with this as much as I have, I going to offer what LITTLE I know or have discovered so that it may better serve you and that your bald spot does not become as large as mine! Here is what I have been told:

     In order to edit much of this [aspdnsf] in a customized way (aside from simply changing the verbiage), you need to know HTML, asp.NET, xml, etc... ((the etc, is what scared me!))

    Much of what you do to the skin is in the template.master file. Customization like modifying the top menu colors and such is through CSS and image editing.

    Your biggest source of assistance for doing things yourself is going to be the Forum. It has many developers and users like yourself helping each other out with customization.

    Otherwise, you can get some information out of the User's Guide, but it is intended for setup of the software out-of-the-box, and Knowledgebase assistance with common issues.

    Depending on how much your time is worth, it is often more efficient to hire a developer to do the 'heavy' lifting:

    So you just installed your new ASPDNSF website. Now, if you are like me, you are scratching your head, WHERE DO I GO TO MODIFY THE ITEMS ON THE FRONT PAGE of the Default Page installed…. Try these!

    The top line indicates: WHAT You want to MODIFY
    The line directly under it is: WHERE you go, to find the File to modify.

    Default Where do I modify things

    Thank you. Great post in my view.

    Has anybody figured out what modifications to make in admin portion so that I can see and edit items under a particualr category. e.g. If I click a category v9 now shows all the items and one canNOT click these item names to edit the product as one used to in 7/8 version.

    The only way to edit product seems to be going thru product menu and then clicking thru rows and rows and trying to remember all the products under a particualr cat.

    Thanks
    Amit
