MDS BLOG

Hello All,

There is no  other excuse for not blogging daily these days other than laziness. I have loads of useful articles to publish but i am sure i would pick up in the coming days.

Now lets get down to business;

Problem: After installing Oscommerce and selecting your default currency, you might find that the prices are rounded up to the nearest highest figure.

ie. if you set item price to £2.99, it rounds up to £3.00. Now, we do not want our customers to see our items as being too expensive.

Solution: Go to your admin > then go to Localization > then click on the default currency > click on edit > set the parameter “Decimal Places : 2″, make sure it is set to 2 decimal places. You can use this to adjust the other currencies also.

Please note that this applies to Oscommerce2 and may be different in Oscommerce3.

Hope this helps out!

Actually i just got back into dolphin community script again after abandoning it for a while, the latest version is dolphin 7 as at the time of this post. Though i am really impressed with all that has been done on the new version but there are still some bugs here and there that needs addressing but all the same it should serve it’s purpose to the full if you know how to work your way around it. One of the reasons i have decided to write more on Dolphin is due to information availability problem associated with it when compared to other community softwares.

For just a quick one, i know it might seem stupid but a lot of people who successfully install dolphin usually wonder how to manipulate the front page and especially to remove the news feed placed in the frontpage after installation.

Solution: After installation , simply log into your admin, then > click on  ”Builders” in the left hand menu > When it loads, click “Page Blocks” >  then select “home Page” > Once it opens , you would see active and inactive Blocks> Just drag “Boonex News” down to the inactive block and you are done. You can also use this system to modify your home page.
