Enabling Search Engine Friendly URL to Improve Site Rank

Using ADP, your shop will be more search engine friendly. ADP works by transforming dynamic url (eg. http://mysite.tld/list.php?cat_id=5) into static url (eg. http://mysite.tld/list-cat_id-5). For more information about ADP please see User Guide.

Using Default Skin For Admin Panel

When you create a new skin for your site, you don't have to create a new admin skin for admin panel. You don't even have to copy an existing admin skin. All you have to do is:

  1. Create an empty file, save as use_default put in /skins/my_skin/admin
  2. So the file structure would be like this: /skins/my_skin/admin/use_default
  3. This will force Cart97PRO to use default skin.

Creating Custom Pages

If you need to display your own pages (such as FAQ, company policy, etc) follow these steps:

  1. Create your page in HTML, be sure to remove html header.
  2. Save it in skins/your_skin/your_file.tpl (be sure to have .tpl as extension).
  3. Link to it by using: index.php?page=your_file

About Rich Text Editor AKA WYSIWYG Editor

We don't create the RTE by ourselves. We are not that good in JavaScript.

RTE is a freeware (c)Kevin Roth
visit his site in http://www.kevinroth.com/

In our opinion: there are many other WYSIWYG editor, such as HTML Area, FCKeditor, etc, and they have much more feature (including table editor, css editor, etc). But other editor are too slow, or too big. The total file size for Cart97PRO is only about 1,500KB, but the FCKeditor alone is 1,000KB! RTE is only 30KB! Those other editors are good for page & complex editing, but for simple editor, RTE rules! So, be sure to visit his site, and donate $10 to his paypal.
