I have been working diligently to get my commerce sit up. What I can't figure out is how to edit the "catalog/index.php" page. It still has the default look from installation. Can anyone help. I use frontpage for publishing to my site
:p

You don't change the look/feel from the index only. The index contains a shell with refrences to other individual files (includes) that contain the HTML. You need to find the php includes that contain the snipits of HTML code you wish to edit.

First of all, use a TEXT ONLY editor to mess with the files, put Frontpage aside. I suppose there is a way to use Frontpage but I don't know cause I have never used it.

The index will point you to the right place:
If you see
<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'header.php'); ?>
that means you should look in the includes directory and edit the 'header.php' file.

You can make major layout changes in the index but I would not recommend it. It gets kinna hairy.

BE CAREFUL and make BACKUPS!!!

Hope that helps.
