To make Featured Products work with STS 4.2, replace the original 15.2 "Add the following lines to /catalog/includes/column_right.php or column_left.php" by: 15.2 Add the following lines to /catalog/includes/modules/sts_inc/sts_column_left.php or sts_column_right.php: require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'featured.php'); $sts->restart_capture ('featuredbox', 'box'); // Get Featured Products Box And skip step 15.3 It works fine here - hope this helps : )

Hello, I'm using STS 4.2 and I find myself a bit lost on three occasions when I follow the installation procedure. Any help would really be appreciated : ) Step 13 - The instructions say: Does this mean that I have to replace: <tr> <td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td> </tr> by <tr> <td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_FEATURED); ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td> </tr> or that I should add the FILENAME_FEATURED lines before the two FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS occurrences? Step 15.2 - Should I add the following code anywhere in /catalog/includes/column_right.php or column_left.php. require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'featured.php'); // STS: ADD $sts_block_name = 'featuredbox'; require(STS_RESTART_CAPTURE); // STS: EOADD Step 15.3 - The text says: I don't have this file at this location: should I add the lines into \catalog\includes\modules\sts_inc\sts_display_output.php? Step 15.3 - I'm lost again. The instructions are to add these lines in sts_display_output.php: $template['featuredbox'] = strip_unwanted_tags($sts_block['featuredbox'], 'featuredbox'); and further down echo $sts_block['featured']; The "and further down" part puzzles me - I don't speak Php and I just don't understand what I should put where. My sts_display_output.php file contains the following: <?php /* $Id: sts_display_output.php,v 4.1 2006/01/25 05:57:12 rigadin Exp $ osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions http://www.oscommerce.com Copyright (c) 2005 osCommerce Released under the GNU General Public License Based on: Simple Template System (STS) - Copyright (c) 2004 Brian Gallagher - brian@diamondsea.com STS v4.1 by Rigadin (rigadin@osc-help.net) */ // Get list of modules to include $sts_modules_inc = $sts->capture_fields(); // Returns an array of files to include $sts_modules_str = ''; // Added in v4.0.7 for debug if (!empty($sts_modules_inc)) { foreach ($sts_modules_inc as $sts_mod){ include(DIR_WS_MODULES.'sts_inc/'.$sts_mod); $sts_modules_str.= $sts_mod .' - '; // Added in v4.0.7 for debug } } // If we use a template, replace placeholders and display the page if ($sts->display_template_output == 1) { $sts->replace(); // Read file and replace placeholders with variables content echo $sts->template['template_html']; // Display the page } // Display debug information if we are in template debug mode if ($sts->display_debug_output) { // Print Debugging Info print "\n<pre><hr>\n"; print "STS_VERSION=[" . $sts->version .
