osCommerce basic help

I am totally new to oscommerce and have never played with shopping carts at all so need some very basic help.
Firstly at the moment I do not need a shopping cart just an online catalog so is there a way to turn off that part of it, the plan is for the site to start selling goods online later but right now it is one step at a time so just want to get this set up and start uploading some stock and then go from there. also how do you change the $ sign to the £ sign as this is for the uk,
Lastly is there an include template to change the default oscommerce logo at the top.
I think that covers the worst of my head scratching for now.

have posted on the oscommerse forums but sadly no reply from there.

Cheers
Ian

Thanks in advance

Regards
Ian

I hate to say it, but have you read the manual...? :)

'My Store' configuration is where you set the currency and country.

Language text definitions tells you how to change the .

Try the oscommerce forums, there's a section called Installation and Configuration, plus a section about pretty much everything else you'll ever need to know about oscommerce

Have you seen Zen Cart? It's an off-shoot of OsCommerce and looks miles better and easier to set up.

Re: osCommerce basic help

Thanks for all advice, have spent the last week on the oscommerce forums and now have to script up and running, in fact after a bit of trial and error and help from the oscommerce forums it is amazing how easy it is to install, I have not even checked out zen cart so can not comment on that but would totally reccomend oscommerce, it is also one of the power tools on the host i use so it is really just a case of clicking a button to install it then pointing the browser at the config page and away you go, This is only going to be used as an online catalogue for now so i used a contribution to remove the shopping cart section.

Cheers
Ian
