How do the Asp.Net editions of PDshop work? Can I customize PDshop?
The quick answer is Yes! The Asp.Net editions consists of an HTML template and several Sub templates, a series of .aspx files, and one .dll file (that you simply upload). You can fully customize PDshop by making changes to the .aspx scripts and the html templates. By changing or adding to the code in the scripts (or the templates), you can customize PDshop to meet any need.
NEW TO ASP.NET? (Are you a Classic ASP User)? If you are familiar with Classic ASP, the Asp.Net editions of PDshop are distributed in much the same way as our classic ASP versions, unlike other .Net applications out there we have designed it to be an easy transition. You will find many functions have been created specifically to mimic some classic asp techniques.
In PDshop, the .html files are plain HTML files that you can open & edit with any HTML or Text editor. These files serve as the “template” for the entire shop. You can edit or add your own HTML code (including CSS styles which provide for unlimited formatting possibilities). By modifying the source code in the templates, and by using the design controls in the web admin, you can fully control the design aspects of your shop.
The .aspx scripts include all relevant code; all function calls and their arguments can be seen and edited by opening the scripts with any editor. For the most part the code is neatly placed and commented in the “<script>” section of the files. By editing these files and the arguments to the functions that are called, you can manipulate the data or the checkout flow as you see fit.
You do NOT need any fancy .Net Development software (you can open and edit the scripts with any HTML or Text editor you wish).
For example, if you wanted to send an email from an .aspx page, or change how PDshop sends it, you would simply call or change the SendEmail function. Another example, if you wanted to update/change how data is saved, you can call or change functions like these: OpenDataWriter, AddData, SaveData, BindThisSQL (if you want to bind data to a page), SQLexecute, those are just a few examples of the functions.
