| | ====== FoxyCart v0.7.2 Documentation ====== |
| |
| | Welcome to the documentation for FoxyCart v0.7.2. If you're on **a different version** you can find it from [[:start|the documentation homepage]]. |
| | |
| | <wrap hi>If you're looking to upgrade</wrap> from an earlier version please view the [[:static:upgrading|upgrade notes]], or visit [[.:upgrading#changelog_summary|the changelog]] to see what's changed since the previous version. |
| | |
| | <wrap hi>Need help? Don't despair!</wrap> |
| | We're here to help. If you can't find what you need in our documentation please just let us know [[http://forum.foxycart.com|on our forum]] or [[helpdesk+wiki@foxycart.com|by email]]. Our goal is for FoxyCart to make your life easier, so if you have problems that our documentation can't help with just let us know. |
| | |
| | <wrap hi>Not sure where to start?</wrap> |
| | Try the "Required Reading" section below if you're new to e-commerce in general, or if you'd like a refresher on the core concepts behind e-commerce. |
| | |
| | <wrap hi>**Advanced user**</wrap> just looking for quick info? Try [[.:cheat_sheet|the cheatsheet!]] |
| | |
| | ===== Who This Documentation Is For ===== |
| | Because FoxyCart is radically different than most e-commerce systems (in that it isn't turnkey, nor is it an "all in one" solution), FoxyCart does require at least some web design and development knowledge. As such, this documentation assumes at least a passing familiarity with the lingo associated with building websites. If something is unclear please feel free to ask, but if you're a completely non-technical user hoping to learn HTML, these pages will probably frustrate you. |
| | |
| | If, on the other hand, you already know a little HTML/CSS/JavaScript and want to improve by getting advanced with FoxyCart, or if you're already capable, dive right in. Please [[helpdesk@foxycart.com|let us know]] how you like the docs. And please note that <wrap tip>this wiki is publicly editable</wrap>, so if you feel you can improve a section, please do! |
