New to asp.net and ablecommerce and working on the sample version right now. we have almost the whole ecommerce part done with products and everything, and we have our new site basically completed as well. now here's the question...
is there a way that we can just begin copying and pasting the asp code/scriplets into our already now pre-existing company website? or is the only way to make it is to reskin the ablecommerce store itself making it look like our preexisting site by creating dozens of scriplets that have the skinned code from our site along with the edited css/themes?
seems it would be much easier if i can just copy and paste the content, shopping cart, sidebar navigation into our site and viola, finished. but since i'm very new to this and even after perusing a bit on the forums, help would still be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
erik
re-skinning vs. copy/pasting
Re: re-skinning vs. copy/pasting
You should reskin AbleCommerce.

Re: re-skinning vs. copy/pasting
Both approaches possible. The first one, you would be able to do only if you are well versed with ASP.NET and AbleCommerce. Its not trivial copy/paste. You could possibly end up with some business logic issues.erkerr67 wrote: is there a way that we can just begin copying and pasting the asp code/scriplets into our already now pre-existing company website? or is the only way to make it is to reskin the ablecommerce store itself making it look like our preexisting site by creating dozens of scriplets that have the skinned code from our site along with the edited css/themes?
The second approach is what you should follow. Re-skinning Ablecommerce and giving it any look and feel is much easier. All trouble you could possibly end up with in this case is that some of your UI display may have problems but the functionality will remain intact.

thanks sohaib! it took me a while to wrap my mind around all of the ablecommerce skinning, but you are definitely right, it actually will be a lot easier. i got it figured out now how to do it the easiest way (shed the old skin!) and am in the process of making sure everything fits nicely inside the new look (which may take a while haha)
