ZenMagick - Zen Cart the easy way

ZenMagick is an addition to Zen Cart, one of the major Open Source e-commerce applications.

It provides database access to virtually all data releveant to templates (and more) via an object oriented API.

ZenMagick also includes an alternative theme/templating system which offers a superior separation of application code and custom HTML.

The compressed philosophy of ZenMagick

  1. Store design and layout should be done via HTML/CSS
  2. Presentation and application code should be separate

ZenMagick layout and view files are exceptionally simple to make real customisation as easy as possible, while still supporting useful Zen Cart admin settings.

ZenMagick and Zen Cart

Despite doing some things fundamentally different, ZenMagick and Zen Cart are a team. Without Zen Cart and the large range of features it provides, ZenMagick could not exist.
