***** Customizing Details *****

If you know HTML then customizing the Botanic Choice template should not be hard.
You can customize your template to fit the look of your current site or use 
a whole new design. Basically, all you need to do is keep the same file names 
but use your own design and place the PHP code sniplets where they are needed. 
Don't worry, it is not as hard or confusing as it sounds :=) Once you do one 
file you should pretty much get the hang of it.

What does the PHP coding look like?

A PHP code is the stuff you seen between <? and ?>
Example: <? echo $product[0]; ?>  <--- You can move that anywhere on your site but
do not edit the string itself.

For tutorial purposes, we will say the PHP code above is calling the product 
name from the database and we will call this particular product Brown Widgets.

You don't want to mess with anything within the PHP code itself but you can move 
the whole sniplet to any part of the page that you want Brown Widgets to appear on 
your site.

So if you wanted use the product name for the title of your page you would have:
<TITLE><? echo $product[0]; ?></TITLE>
To Show: <TITLE>Brown Widgets</TITLE>

You could also optimize it futhermore by adding keywords in the title tag:
<TITLE>Buy <? echo $product[0]; ?> Online</TITLE>
To Show: <TITLE>Buy Brown Widgets Online</TITLE>

The same with the keyword tags as well:
<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="cheap <? echo $product[0]; ?>,discount <? echo $product[0]; ?>,
order <? echo $product[0]; ?>,<? echo $product[0]; ?> online">
To Show: <META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="cheap Brown Widgets,discount Brown Widgets,order 
Brown Widgets">

That should pretty much give you the idea of how the PHP code can be worked into HTML. 
You may need to try a few times to get it right but trial and error is the process of learning.

NOTE:
<? include("config.php"); ?> should always remain at the very first line of all your template 
pages. This is the configuration file with important things that needs to communicate with the 
database and the web browsers so they know what the output on the entire page.


***** ADDING CONTENT TO PRODUCT PAGES *****

Here is how to customize your Botanic Choice template sites a step further and integrate content into them. 

This tutorial will help you add content to your site such as articles, tips, categorized ads, etc...

During this tutorial I will use categorized tips as an example. This means that I want to put a short few lines of helpful tips to my visitors for certain categories. Here is how I would implement this.

1. Create a directory on my server and name it "tips"

2. Lets say I wanted to add a tip for my visitors that were looking at the "Aches and Pains" category. I would then create a new html file with the few lines I would want to use for the content to go in the "Aches and Pains" category. The html would just be the tip with any html codes, it would not have any meta tags, After I created the html file I would name it "aches_pains.html" and then upload it to my "tips" directory.

3. Next, I would open the file that displays the category pages. This is the file named "category.php" I would then call the category tips using an include and if statement like so:

(I would put the below statement in the file where I wanted the tip to show. 
You may have to do a little trial and error at first yourself)

<?

// Add all of the short articles here

if(!$start){

if($cat == "Aches and Pains")
	include("tips/aches_pains.html");  

}

?>

For each tip I would want to add I would just add to the include and if statement as such:

<?
// Display Tips For Categories Here
if(!$start){

if($cat == "Aches and Pains")
	include("tips/aches_pains.html");  

if($cat == "Anti-Aging") 
	include("tips/Anti-Aging.html");  

} 

?>

As you can see its easy to add customized content to each category in this way!


***** Advanced Customizing *****

One thing to remember is that our generic code is not written in stone. You can customize every single 
individual file as you please. Picture it as you are creating/designing a website for your very own business. 
You can make the pages and files anyway you please because with our program you are doing just that. 
The only thing is that you are building your pages to read off of our database instead of your own.
