Zen Cart
This is a brief overview of the basic template structure being used in my Blueprint Zen Cart template.
And a visual representation.
<body>
<div class="container">
<div id="header" class="span-24 prepend-top append-bottom"></div>
<div id="leftColumn" class="span-5"></div>
<div id="centerColumn" class="span-19 last"></div>
<div id="footer" class="span-24 append-bottom prepend-top"></div>
</div>
</body>And a visual representation.
Every time I start a Zen Cart job I have to decide which of the available templates would be best to start with. My template of choice for a while was Simple Zen, but it still required a lot of modifications before it fit all of my needs. I recently discovered Blueprint CSS and thought it would be a great framework for my own barebones zen cart template. What are the advantages of using blueprint?
Over the last few years I have coded a dozen or so Zen Cart sites. Each site has something new to teach me and I am constantly pushing zen to do things that I once thought were impossible. No matter how varied the design of the site, there are a few addons that I find myself using over and over again.
