Hello, I'm new to AM and AWIN. Saw Shopwindow and felt it would be great place for me to start as it sounds fab!
I have setup IIS / PHPMySQL on my XP computer - it appears to be working as I did the test within Dreamweaver (created a PHP page which pulls the current time and displays), this works by browsing to the http://localhost/
I browse to my shopwindow directory and it loads a blank screen, all I see is the test along the top saying "shopwindow client - where do you want to shop today?"
Any ideas?
Thanks,
R
Hi Rapid,
What is your URL that you are trying to integrate on?
Thanks

I dont have any webspace, I'm just trying to run from my machine so I can get to grips with it..
I'm trying to load http://localhost/xxxx/index.php
It might be that this isn't possible? and that I need to just get it up on some webspace and work directly from there... altho I would think I should be able to load in Dreamweaver to edit the layout etc?
Hi Rapid,
Yes I think its because you are running it locally. You can edit the presentation and layout locally, however in order to call and serve the content the files need to be placed live on the web (to access our systems using our API)
I would reccommend uploading to a free host for testing perhaps, and taking it from there.
Hope this helps,
Amo
Thanks for your help.
How would I go about editing the presentation locally? Is there 1 file that I need to be working on within dreamweaver? I load the index.php file and in design view its just blank.
Thanks,

I think it's something to do with SMARTY.. just reading up on it.. I'm guessing SMARTY is an engine for producting pages, is there an installer or something that I would need to run this locally? :S
