Information Pages Unlimited v1.0

[luchino]

when I add the sql in information.sql using phpmyadmin I get:

Error
SQL query: 

CREATE TABLE `information` (

`information_id` tinyint( 3 ) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`information_group_id` int( 11 ) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`information_title` varchar( 255 ) NOT NULL default '',
`information_description` text NOT NULL ,
`parent_id` int( 11 ) default NULL ,
`sort_order` tinyint( 3 ) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`visible` enum( '1', '0' ) NOT NULL default '1',
`language_id` int( 11 ) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY ( `information_id` , `language_id` ) 
) ENGINE = MYISAM DEFAULT CHARSET = latin1;

MySQL said:  

#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax.  Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1' at line 11

 

Line 11 is: `sort_order` tinyint( 3 ) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',

 

I have MySQL 4.0.27-standard.

Trying to instal version 2.03 (IPU) but have tried the sql from some earlier versions (down to v2) but no luck there either.

latest osc - as of a few weeks ago.

I know not much about mysql, but have run sql from other mods & other stores no probs.

 

Can anyone shed some light on what the problem might be?

My guess is it needs a different version of mysql perhaps - cant find anyone else with this problem.

 

Ive not installed this contribution before - had used Information Pages Enhanced v1.3 in previous stores. I downloaded this one by mistake ... but thought I'd give it a try.

 

Thanks

I got the same error... anyone has ideas?

Is it possible to use Google's new website optimizer tool for conducting multivariate tests on these html virtual pages created with the information pages unlimited contribution?

 

According to google, you can't use it with sections of a page that are database driven; however, I'm not sure what that means.

I've just looked at your link and the userguide demo here: http://services.google.com/training/websit...imizeruserguide

 

Basically you'll need to put javascript calls surrounding the pieces you want to test.

practically speaking you could test with different sections of content that is stored separately, like a name, short description, long description etc.

The product info pages are pretty modular so that is a possible candidate for this, information pages I think are more a bigger block of text which make them less suitable for this tool.

note, you can only have 1 target url for the test, so you can't dynamically pass any parameters, the variations are stored on the google site and content is replaced dynamically in the users browser through the javascript code.

If you are really smart about it, you could probably keep some of that control and tweaking in your sites css file if you figure out that eg headline in red always convert better, without then having to go to the google website optimization tool to set this for all the pages you are multivariate testing ...

Hello folks!

 

Just installed this contrib (v. 2.03) and everthing worked fine except for the Welcome Message feature.

 

First I found out the code seemed to lock the feature, what I solved by uncommenting ne line on information_manager.php, but after I insert entries, they don't come up on the main page as expected. Yes, I did the modifications pointed out on the readme but still no clue. I took a look at the source of the rendered html and I can see the comment "<!-- Add-on - Information Pages Unlimited -->", but the expected content is just blank.

 

Any clues??????

 

Thank you all!

 `information_id` tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, 
 `information_group_id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',

 `information_description` text NOT NULL, 
 `parent_id` int(11) default NULL, 
 `sort_order` tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', 
 `visible` enum('1','0') NOT NULL default '1', 
 `language_id` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', 
 PRIMARY KEY  (`information_id`,`language_id`) 
) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;

 

it worked for me... I had same error before :)

Sorry folks, found the answer in a previous post. Weird the search within the topic didn't found the exact keyword I was originally looking for.

 

Thank you all!!!!

I suspect your main language is not English anymore, and so not set to ID=1.

 

To illustrate, have a look in your install package (sql\information_additional.sql) and you will find the following:

INSERT INTO `information` (`information_id`, `information_group_id`, `visible`, `sort_order`, `information_title`, `information_description`, `language_id`, `parent_id`) VALUES (1, 2, '1', 1, 'HEADING_TITLE', 'What\'s New Here?', 1, 0);

 

The before last 1 in this code is your language ID. This should be set to your main language. So, find out what your main language ID is, and change all those (before last) 1's to your language ID. Then upload the SQL file again.

 

If it works, let the forum know it worked, or not.

 

 

Hello

 

I am using Portuguese , so my language ID is 4.......I am not sure where u mean to change and put 4.

 

Pls. let me know.

Hi,

 

I followed step 1 to 8, but I could not see the Information Boxes on the homepage itself. May I know how to get that up on the catalog? It's showing in the Admin panel. Sorry if this sounds too newbie..i am not a coding person. Any help or advice will be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Hi can someone explain this a little bit better?

My english is ok but my sql skills not.

What exactly do i have to change for an dutch default language and where?

[ntd]

I haven't this topic covered yet, so I'll ask.

 

I have this working on a number of sites with HTMLarea. When the user creates a link to another page in the site they loose the session id. That makes anything in the cart go away. It has become a big issue with a couple of clients.

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks

Hi

I have installed this contrib but im having a problem adding pages. When i add it and click on it in the catalog it states Page not found, The requested information page was not found on this server. I know someone else had this problem but i couldnt find an answer to it. Any help would be great.

Thanks

Dion

[ntd]

Dion, I'll assume that after you created the page in the back end that you can edit it with out problem, verifying that there is something there to bring up. You need to check to see if the way your url is coming up matches what the code is looking for. ie. information.php?info_id=16 the code is looking for info_id= something. If the text is different it won't work. I hope this helps some.

Thanks for all.

 

 

 

Hi I have the same problem of this person! In my index.php comes up a notice saying that it doesn't find the file. PROBLEM ON LINE 34.

 

I copied the file information.php in the directory catalog/includes/boxes/information.php as the tutorial explains, but the index.php is looking in the following directory:

 

catalog/includes/functions/information.php

 

How do I fix this so it looks into the right directory???.. for sure it's a stupid thing.. but I don't know what to do??....

 

zanx in advance!

[zandapro]

ABout the previous post.. don't take notice! solved... sorry.. I forgot to upload the file in that directory.. dough!

Hi I have the same problem as Dion.. when I click the file that I've created from the index.php page, it says:

 

"The requested URL /catalog/information.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. "

 

In the url is trying to find the file here: "http://www.xxx.com/catalog/information.php?info_id=6"

 

But obviously the information.php is not in the catalog folder.. and the id of the article is in fact number 6... so it's correct the path "information.php?info_id=6", but the folder... it'not, right??

 

Please advise how to solve this problem: why does it look in the catalog folder? What to do so it finds the new file I've created?.

[zandapro]

Hi there.. is someone around? hope someone can help me soon.. now the problem is that it doesn't show anything at all.. when I click on an article it comes up a blank page.. --'

 

I copied the information.php that comes with the installation of the main root of catalog and published it in catalog/

 

So.. why does it come in a blank page?

[puppy sam]

can anyone kindly advise how can i list down the information tree including the parent and child at one go so that customers can view the information box without clicking in one by one. thanks

[Guest]

I have installed this on a fresh build. When I select Info Manager from the admin menu my screen fills with the data below. I can edit the sql with phpmyadmin and the welcome text displays correctly. I also do not have any information menus. I originally installed tinymce as per instructions and when that produced these results I installed tinymce anywhere.

 

Any ideas where I should look next.

 

thanks

I have started with a brand new install of oscommerce-2.2ms2-060817.

then I removed all default icons

installed PhpMyAdmin

applied both sql files

copied all files from the ipuv203 catalog folders

added admin/tinymce

 

catalog website diplays correctly

admin website displays a screen full on code as in the above posts when I select Information manager or any of it's options.

 

thank you

Hi Carine,

 

Thanks for helping me out. Though in all honesty, it took me a couple days of reading it until I felt like I had gained any understanding. Probably took you two seconds to write.

 

So the product pages seem a good candidate for the website optimizer, huh? I don't think I will be using them any time soon. What about if I just created individual PHP pages though? - for each landing page?.

Would that work?

 

If you are really smart about it, you could probably keep some of that control and tweaking in your sites css file if you figure out that eg headline in red always convert better, without then having to go to the google website optimization tool to set this for all the pages you are multivariate testing ...

 

Never would have thought about this. While I am curious to see which font has the highest conversion rate and how much my yellow form fields raise conversion rates over white form fields: this is probably more trouble than its worth to me. I feel pretty confident about most of the components of the CSS.

 

Google optimizer is just too cool of a toy to not have its full benefits. The two main functions I want are to tweak the headlines and the landing page pictures. And there are some writing techniques I would like to experiment with also, in regards to the site copy.

 

 

Thanks again,

 

Victor

The problem was that there is a still a <? that should be <?php.

[Guest]

Hi there, first of all I think this is a great contribution.

But i'm still having the problem of not being able to add or edit Welcome Messages. I tried to change the languageID with the SQL file but it doesn't work.

Anyone has another solution?

I'm using the latest osc2.2 rc1 and the latest version of ipu.
