azer Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 i tried long time ago ths contrig in 1.1g version, let me tell you the pbe i had and if you can answer me : 1. losing cart when reading a news 2. losing cart when changing the language 3. multilanguage wasn't working as easy as when adding a product , meaing u got a field for each language installed in osc 4. no WUSIWYG editor incorporated 5. THE WORST : all the file use the same naming pattern than the information.php included in osc, that mean, u replace the old one with this one , no way to test, or activate and then desactivate if you want the contrib . any infos on the new version if someone tested ?

Iwant2Lrn Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Congratulations. This is a very useful contribution. I somewhat extended it to also support an accompaning image, which may be changed or deleted in an edit procedure. Furthermore, I added an extra component, which (in such a case) is essential, e.g. a WYSIGW editor. Thanks!!! It would great if someone could add in the capability to create unlimited infoboxes. I thought cont had this but it's still very useful for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azer Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 for the problem of losing the cart, they add the same with another contribution u can read here : http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?sho...31entry776731 i post a copy of their code if it give us any idea Think I've cracked the problem. Seems to be in line 76 where the link is created. $page_list .= '<tr><td class="infoBoxContents"><a target="'.$target.'" href="' . tep_href_link($link) . '">' . $page['pages_title'] . '</a></td></tr>'; I updated link 76 to: $page_list .= '<tr><td class="infoBoxContents"><a target="'.$target.'" href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PAGES, 'pages_id=' .$page['pages_id'], 'NONSSL') . '">' . $page['pages_title'] . '</a></td></tr>'; Quote MS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Hi, I updated the Information Pages Unlimited to v1.2, but there is a problem, I don't know what's happened. Please have a look the site: http://www.holaic.ch/shop/catalog/sitemap.php?language=en In this page we can see there is 5 directories in "infomation", but there is only two on the left column... Thanks in advance. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is I can see the created pages (with Information Pages Unlimited v1.2) on the left column but I lost the other pages like: Shipping & Returns; Privacy Notice; Sales conditions...

Roaddoctor Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 3 Questions on information pages unlimited 1.2: 1. Does this program add a box or replace the existing information box? if so do I lose the content? 2. Is this program compatible with zz_faq ? 3. Regarding /includes/boxes/information.php my information.php file is already modified and this program wants to overwrite. here is what the IPU file has: <?php $info_box_contents = array(); $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_INFORMATION); new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false); // Retrieve information from Info table $informationString = ""; $information_query = tep_db_query("SELECT information_id, info_title FROM " . TABLE_INFORMATION . " WHERE visible='1' and languages_id ='" . $languages_id . "' ORDER BY v_order"); while($information = tep_db_fetch_array($information_query)) { $informationString .= '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_INFORMATION, 'info_id=' . $information['information_id']) . '">' . $information['info_title'] . '</a><br>'; } $info_box_contents = array(); $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => $informationString . '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT . '</a>'); new infoBox($info_box_contents); ?> Here is what I have existing: <?php $info_box_contents = array(); $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_INFORMATION); new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false); $info_box_contents = array(); $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_SHIPPING . '</a><br>' . '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRIVACY) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PRIVACY . '</a><br>' . '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS . '</a><br>' . '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT . '</a><br>'. '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_FAQ, '', 'NONSSL') . '">' . BOX_FAQ . '</a><br>' ); new infoBox($info_box_contents); ?> Is this the proper merge so that I retain my existing pages? or do I just use the IPU file without a merge? <?php $info_box_contents = array(); $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_INFORMATION); new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false); // Retrieve information from Info table $informationString = ""; $information_query = tep_db_query("SELECT information_id, info_title FROM " . TABLE_INFORMATION . " WHERE visible='1' and languages_id ='" . $languages_id .

Hi Yes it changes the code in /includes/boxes/information.php page and replaces it with Info pages link and a contact us link You can add your old Links back into the code on /includes/boxes/information.php if you want and or you may need to add back some for other contabs e.g. Voucher and coupons Or the easyer way is just to re write the missing pages in the Info pages place so it will make edtied them easyer in future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Nigel I have been using the Spaw Editor, http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2963 ( http://www.solmetra.com/en/disp.php/en_pro.../en_spaw_about/ ), with no problems. The only problem is that it turns every text area field into an HTML editor. This can be fixed with some mods to the html_output.php file. Good luck.

♥jailaxmi Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I was trying to install this contribution, but I couldn't find the includes/databases.php nor the admin/includes/databases.php files and my guess is that it is not working at all (half of the store appears blank) because my installation is incomplete, since I don't have those files to add the "define the table_information" input. Can anyone help me figure out why I don't have them, or how to add them to my store? I am new to php. I did a clean oscommerce installation somewhere else to see if those files were there by default (and I had maybe accidentally deleted them), but they aren't. Any help would be greatly appreciated! jailaxmi Quote I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself... --King Crimson (“Discipline”) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roaddoctor Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Howdy - Great contribution - I love it and it seems to be working perfectly as far as I can tell Could someone tell me if it is possible to call a html file into an info box page? and if so, how? I have struggled and I have very weak php/html skills. Here is what I want to do: I created this simple photo gallery and placed it in the store at http://www.pavepatch.com/pub/flomix/flomixindex.html I would like for the above photo gallery page to appear in the info box page (rather than having to place a link to it) http://www.pavepatch.com/photo-gallery-i-7.html Is this possible? to call an html page into a page.... I have tried various forms of code but with no luck. please excuse my shot in the html/php darkness... I am pretty sure I am not even close... <tr> <td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> <tr> <td class="main"> <!--#include virtual="/pub/flomix/flomixindex.html" --> </td> </tr> </table> </td> <tr> <body> <tr> <td> <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> <?php include("pub/flomix/flomixindex.html"); ?> </table> </td> </tr> </body> <?php include("pub/flomix/flomixindex.html"); ?> <tr> <td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> <tr> <td class="main"> <?php include("pub/flomix/flomixindex.php"); ?> </td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> Thanks much for any advice.

Roaddoctor Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Ok I have found that this works: <P ALIGN=top> <!-- Start Photo Area --> <center> <iframe name="content_frame" width="600" height="500" src="/pub/flomix/flomixindex.html"> </iframe></center> <!-- End Photo Area --></p> Is there a more appropriate way to do this like using OBJECT or another method? I have heard that using iframe should be avoided. If OBJECT, how would the code be written? Thanks Quote -Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I installed the Information Pages Unlimited, great contribution, with no error at all. Thanks a lot. After I added a few articles, such as Privacy, "Contact Us", "Term of Use", I feel like it would be more appropriate to move these information to the footer, so my question is that is it possible to move the entire "Infomation" infobox to the footer, and make all the articles a footer style?

Thanks This should be fairly simple to do by removing the coding for information.php from your column_right/column_left.php and adding to includes/footer.php. A few tweaks to the html coding and stylesheet is all you need to get it to display the way you want in terms of width, etc. The code to remove from your columns_left.php (or right, if you've moved it) and to add to footer.php would be <?php require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'information.php'); ?> Edited May 17, 2006 by Viviennes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
