how do I make the links work?

acharme · August 29, 2006

I have sts 4.2 with HTC installed and working fine, (I think). I have managed to learn enough html and css to get this far. I have gone over the sts documentation a zillion times, I have read the sts 4 thread, I have tried everything my brain can come up with. My public site is gemanje.com, but I am working on http://gemanje.com/index.php?sts_template=myshop , to get it working before putting out to the public.

The myaccount, checkout (etc) links are referencing the index of gemanje.com, how do I tell them to go to the login page, checkout page etc? I thought that if I put the $variable in there, it would at least get me to the default osc layout, and I could figure it out from there. I don't understand how to get the myaccount functions (for example) to actually function.

Could someone point me to a step by step? Create *this* file, with *this* code, save it to *this* folder...? Is this the same procedure to use when I try to get my category links to work? Am I supposed to have a bunch of "index.account.php.html, index.bracelet.php.html" files? I don't understand the "index.php_11_22_33.html" in the sts doc. Do these numbers mean something? And is there somewhere I can find out what they mean?

Please be gentle, I am so frustrated. I am not a programmer or web page designer, and I do not have the kind of money that I have seen charged for design/implementation services. I am just about ready to give up and use the out of the box version with a few color changes.

This is my index.php.html code (index.html is the same):

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<html $htmlparams>
<?php DEFINE('STS_END_CHAR','#');?>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<!--$headcontent-->
 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/sts_templates/myshop/stylesheet.css">

</head>

<body>
