CC5 Skins Options

[Viola]

Hi all,

This is a breakdown of what the SMARTY placeholders in a version 5 template refer to. I posted this over on the official Cubecart forum
(http://forums.cubecart.com/topic/44240-skin-modification/page__view__findpost__p__182222), and it was suggested that I submit it to the documentation project.



SMARTY placeholders in [skin_name]/templates/main.php

{$SHOPPING_CART} = box.basket.php
{$CURRENCY} = box.currency.php
{$SITE_DOCS} = box.documents.php
{include file='templates/box.errors.php'} = box.errors.php (obviously)
{$RANDOM_PROD} = box.featured.php
{$LANGUAGE} = box.language.php
{$CATEGORIES} = box.navigation.php
{$MAIL_LIST} = box.newsletter.php
{if isset($POPULAR_PRODUCTS)}{$POPULAR_PRODUCTS}{/if} = box.popular.php (this one has a condition that checks if "show popular products" has been set in the admin dashboard)
{if isset($CHECKOUT_PROGRESS)}{$CHECKOUT_PROGRESS}{/if} = box.progress.php (shows the checkout steps on checkout pages: 1. Basket - 2.Checkout - 3. Payment - 4. Complete)
{$SALE_ITEMS} = box.sale_items.php
{$SEARCH_FORM} = box.search.php
{$SESSION} = box.session.php
{if isset($SKIN_SELECT)}{$SKIN_SELECT}{/if} = box.skins.php (condition checks if "allow users to change front-end skin" has been set to Yes in the dashboard)

{$COPYRIGHT} = loads the content as entered in the dashboard under Store Settings > Copyright
{$PAGE_CONTENT} = loads the page content based on what URL you are looking at
{$STORE_URL} = the base URL of your store, eg. "http://domain.com" or "http://www.domain.com/shop"
{$SKIN_FOLDER} = the folder name of the skin your store is currently using, eg. "vanilla"
{$SKIN_SUBSET} = the folder name of the skin subset/style your store is currently using; only applicable if your skin has subsets

logo for skins with subsets:
<a href="{$STORE_URL}/index.php"><img src="{$STORE_URL}/images/logos/{$SKIN_FOLDER}-{$SKIN_SUBSET}.php" alt="{$META_TITLE}" /></a>

logo for skins without subsets:
<a href="{$STORE_URL}/index.php"><img src="{$STORE_URL}/images/logos/{$SKIN_FOLDER}.php" alt="{$META_TITLE}" /></a>


template files for page content ({$PAGE_CONTENT} in the main.php template file) and corresponding URLs

content.category.php = index.php?_a=category&cat_id=1
content.certificates.php = index.php?_a=certificates
content.contact.php = index.php?_a=contact
content.document.php = index.php?_a=document&doc_id=1
content.homepage.php = index.php
content.login.php = index.php?_a=login
content.product.php = index.php?_a=product&product_id=1
content.recover.php = index.php?_a=recover
content.recovery.php = index.php?_a=recovery
content.register.php = index.php?_a=register
content.search.php = index.php?_a=search

checkout pages
content.checkout.php = index.php?_a=basket
content.checkout.confirm.php = index.php?_a=confirm (step 2 of the checkout; for registered users shows a selection of saved addresses, for unregistered users shows a form to enter an address)
content.gateway.php = index.php?_a=gateway

customer account pages
content.addressbook.php = index.php?_a=addressbook
content.downloads.php = index.php?_a=downloads
content.newsletter.php = index.php?_a=newsletter
content.orders.php = index.php?_a=vieworder
content.profile.php = index.php?_a=profile
content.receipt.php = index.php?_a=vieworder&cart_order_id=111111-111111-1111


As a general rule, template files with names that start with "box." are for a box that is shown in the sidebar(s). Template files starting with "content." are for the page content.
An important point to note is that the logo image URL is different depending on whether or not a skin has subsets. So if you modify a stock skin and add/remove subsets, be sure to change the logo URL accordingly.

logo for skins with subsets:
<a href="{$STORE_URL}/index.php"><img src="{$STORE_URL}/images/logos/{$SKIN_FOLDER}-{$SKIN_SUBSET}.php" alt="{$META_TITLE}" /></a>

logo for skins without subsets:
<a href="{$STORE_URL}/index.php"><img src="{$STORE_URL}/images/logos/{$SKIN_FOLDER}.php" alt="{$META_TITLE}" /></a>

As of version 5.1.2 the code for the logo has been simplified. Whether or not the skin has subsets no longer matters. It is now:
<a href="{$STORE_URL}"><img src="{$STORE_LOGO}" alt="{$META_TITLE}" /></a>
