FrancineNJ Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 After setting up OsCommerce....I found more than 7 extra fields in the categories in the Admin panel, starting with My Store and right down to Sessions. :'( I went up to the database and checked around but could not find where it would show these extra fields so I can delete them. How do I fix this? Thank you, Francine
Daemonj Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 Can you pleae explain in a different manner what the problem is? You found 7 extra fields where and what are they called? Are they fields in a database table or something else? "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.

FrancineNJ Posted July 9, 2006 Author Posted July 9, 2006 Ok...when I go into the Admin panel thru browser. Under Configuration --> My Store. I have 7 duplicate fields to input Store Name. This goes for everything under My Store. Minimum Values Maximum Values Images Customer Details Shipping/Packaging Product Listing Stock Logging Cache E-Mail Options Download GZip Compression Sessions They all have 7 duplicate fields of each field thats in them. Hope I explained this a little better for you. Francine Can you pleae explain in a different manner what the problem is? You found 7 extra fields where and what are they called? Are they fields in a database table or something else?
Daemonj Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 Is this a brand new installation of osCommerce or has the store been up for a while? If you just finished running the install script then I imagine that a few problems were encountered causing the install script to be run multiple times. If you have not entered any categories and/or products into the catalog, simply access your store's database via PHPMyAdmin and select to drop all of the tables currently in the database. Then select the SQL tab and import the catalog/install/oscommerce.sql file and all should be fine. "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.

FrancineNJ Posted July 10, 2006 Author Posted July 10, 2006 :thumbsup: Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Thank you for your answer. I had to open the oscommerce.sql and deleted those extra fields before I did what you suggested in your last paragraph. It worked! Thank you.

Daemonj Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 If the duplicate entries were in your oscommerce.sql file something was wrong with your download. Did you get the download from oscommerce.com or somewhere else? "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.

FrancineNJ Posted July 11, 2006 Author Posted July 11, 2006 It was actually my nephew who installed it along with a free template from templatemonster. Not sure if templatemonster has a download of oscommerce on its site. If the duplicate entries were in your oscommerce.sql file something was wrong with your download. Did you get the download from oscommerce.com or somewhere else?
