Problem
When implementing custom design for CRE Loaded, osCommerce or 273Loaded we need to create a number of buttons for each language. ahh this is very difficult to create each button separately.
Solution:
Check these sites. These sites allow to create buttons for on the fly and for free. You can create your own design with custom colors font etc or you can choose from existing templates. Don’t let me keep you, here are the sites
Since release of version 6.3 CRE loaded is no more free. It PRO version starts from USD295, and B2B version starts from USD595.
But why bother to spend this much? when you can get smiler script for free.
Check http://www.273loaded.com/ and you can get PRO and B2B version for free.
Try download and install you will find it replica of creloaded (code/db/features etc).
