naiadomare Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Hi, just passing by to say a HUUUUGEEEE THANK YOU for this contrib. I've used it on my newly opened site (feedback thread: http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=302114 ) and it's been really, really useful. Thanks again and regards from Madrid!

kervano Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Good morning, I just installed the contribution but I note that it is impossible in promotions to add an article to the basket and continue a purchase, the site became very slow and nothing happens. Do you have a solution? Try here http://www.achat-bio.fr/specials?osCsid=ac...7ebd09137a3b5f5 click on : "Ajouter au panier" and "Continuer achat", result nothing happens, why?

lindsayanng Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 hey everyone. I decided to install this contribution because i added the product listing thumbnail enhancements, and it was made to work with this Well, i am having a VERY VERY stupid problem.. I am literally at STEP 3 and i CAN NOT find where the code : $pInfo = new objectInfo($HTTP_POST_VARS); $products_name = $HTTP_POST_VARS['products_name']; is. I basically did a full search for it in dreamweaver AND in my cpanel and could not find it. I searched it by eye and could not find it. I feel like this is SUCH a stupid thing because i have installed much more difficult contributions.. So can anyone give me a reason why it might NOT be there?? and if so, where should i put that next code. I do have this at around 543 (i know the act numbers would not be correct because i have additional images installed.. but there are some added lines not in the instructions: $pInfo->objectInfo($product); } elseif (tep_not_null($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { $pInfo->objectInfo($HTTP_POST_VARS); $products_name = $HTTP_POST_VARS['products_name']; $products_description = $HTTP_POST_VARS['products_description']; $products_url = $HTTP_POST_VARS['products_url']; } Quote A great place for newbies to start Road Map to oscommerce File Structure DO NOT PM ME FOR HELP. My time is valuable, unless i ask you to PM me, please dont. You will get better help if you post publicly. I am not as good at this as you think anyways!

compuskill Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the nice contribution. Is there a way to get the short description into the "featured products" module on the index.php? NEMROD34 has done that for the isolated featured_products.php, but not for the featured module you can replace the "new products" with. If anyone has figured that out already, please let me know.

Guys don't bother with this one i found the answer in the forums already. It's whitespace after the <? in the general.php I changed. Don't know why the whitespace suddenly appeared i certainly didn't deliberately add it! So now everything is fine again and it looks GREAT! Thanks for the contribution guys!

stugutz Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Hi I have just installed the Product Description 1.5 and it works fine. however, when you view the product under the category heading (just before it goes to the actual product details) it shows... 'Untitled document' ....then a short description of the product. Is there a way to get rid of this 'Untitled document' but leave the short description? cheers vjc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blr044 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 As you can see by post 221, I had it all working. But that was back in March last year. Around Sept, I switch to RC2A. Well adding fresher mod to site, notice some would not work others. Finally get it back. I just instaaled this, thee is some areas that fail to work. Nothing appears in product listing and in new products, I only see more >>> but no description. It might help if had some error message, but no. I've tried them all, but nothing. Also store is heavy modified. Would appreciate hearing from someone out there who might have a clue. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Hello, thank you for a great contribution. I have one small formatting issue and was wondering if maybe someone could point me to the right location to fix it. The product name above my description is spaced over one. See here: http://jenenichelle.com/bracelets-c-22.html Anyone know how I can "backspace" my product's name? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blr044 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Finally got this contrib working. But am noticing i issue which is very confusing why this is hapening. By going here, you will see one product top row only has like 12 characters. The others look good. In specials.php, it is set for 125. If I change it to 100, then I have no description for this perticular item. But in product/categories, all is fine and also in product listing. Also with Header Tags SEO< I have dill tags set for 200. But again, back to this one product, clicking view source at browser, it does not display the full 200 charcaters. So you can see, just this one item. That's what so confusing. I even deleted it from store and then added it back, nothing. So has anyone ever had this kind of a problem? Thanks.

111oneeleven Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 The description text is too short for me. How do you set more then 200 characters in the description? I changed in product_description.sql the PRODUCT_LIST_MAXIMUM_LENGTH from 200 to 500 characters and uploaded to my database but it still only shows 200 characters. Any ideas?

111oneeleven Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I am about to format the Product Description. How do I set the Price and the Buy Now Button at the top left of the table cell, just like you can see at the image that comes with the contribution? :blink: I justified the text in catalog/stylesheet.css td.productdesc by adding text-align: justify;. In catalog/includes/modules/product_listing.php you can align the price and the Buy Now Button by setting $lc_align ='left' but it will stay in the middle not on top of the cell. Any idea? :blink: Thanks in advance, Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
