filenames.php linking to PREVIOUS directory

[zurv]

Hey guys..

 

Again, I think this should be a VERY simple question for most of you.

 

lets say inside filetypes.php theres this:

define('FILENAME_SPECIALS', 'specials.php');

 

which links to specials.php.

 

Well lets say there is a page outside the oscommerce directory?

there is a file in a directory JUST BEFORE the oscommerce directory I need to link to.

 

Please help me out, I have done everything else but not matter what I link to wether its http://mysite.com/thefolder/thefilesiwant.php or ../thefolder/thefilesiwant.php

 

it dosent seem to work, it looks for it inside the oscommerce directory.

A lot of the directories OSC uses are specified in the configure.php file in the /includes/ directory

 

Often, for expediency, OSC will just append the filename to a predefined path, eg

 

require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'filenames.php');

 

You can define you own path in this file if this is what you want.

Sorry i wasnt clear in the above post. This should clarify..

 

ok OSCommerce is in site.com/oscommerce

 

the file I want to link to is in site.com/folder/file.php

 

I wish for the file to load inside OS commerce just like a regular page and to keep their login.

 

Also would I edit the filenames.php file and add the location in there?

 

The file.php I wish to link to is actually a Support Ticket script, so it is similar to a form with a submit button, that takes you to a confirmation page.

 

Thanks in advance!!

Well, you could probably use this:

include(/full/path/to/the/file);

 

I haven't tried that before, but it seems like it'd work, provided the script doesn't have other dependencies.

 

However, you may still have an issue with preserving the login. Well, maybe not - - if you've already set a cookie for that user on your domain, there really isn't anything to prevent the browser from sending both cookies - - the one for your helpdesk script and the one for osCommerce.
