Customization mode not working?
Short answer: There's a problem with CS-Cart's login system!
Instructions (for CS-Cart 3.0.1)
1) Switch to customization mode by going to the admin panel (default admin.php) and selecting design > design mode from the top nav.
2) click the "enable customization mode" button
3) follow the link "View STOREFRONT in customization mode."
4) you'll see your store front.. with NO customization hints. Login again with your admin user/password.
done.
You should now see little icons with tool tips pointing to relative templates when you hover them.
I decided to post this because I wasted a load of time trying to solve it.
Since my company decided to dedicate ourselves to using CS-Cart on client sites instead of Magento, I have been increasingly frustrated at the lack of good developer documentation in my struggle to familiarize myself with the system.
Hopefully these instructions will prevent someone else from wasting their time as I did.
If this helped you.. please leave your comments below :)
