Evil Beginnings

[ClefRock]

Basically someone did our site using osc, which I find quite frankly amazing.

 

He (freelance agent) gave our client a comp for what she wanted for her site, and he didnt pull through on that, shafting us making us have to deal with it.

 

1) She wants the categories moved from the "right_column.php" to the "left_column.php"

Issue: The left_column page seems to be completly empty, so I thought; "ill just add the content here". When moving it, nothing happens. Basically the question is, is there a "breadcrumb" before the left_column page, that would tell it not to load?

 

2) She wants, upon clicking into a main category, all the sub categories of that main show up, (easy enough), and that all the other main categories go away off that page. She does quite a bit of business and doesnt have room for all the mains AND the subs, so she only wants one. Any ideas?

Thanks in advanced.

the left/right columns are represented by the catalog\includes\column_left.php and catalog\includes\column_right.php You should be able to simply move a box from the one file to the other to do what you need. You could download and install the default osc which is much easier to experiment about it. But since this is custom there is no easy way to say why that is not working.

 

For the categories layouts there are various modules under the contributions->infoboxes. You could check there.

If its based on a pre made template, the code for boxes and such might be in includes/header.php instead of in column_right or column_left.php

 

or

 

If the one customizing the site have removed all the calls for column_left.php in the .php files in the shops main folder, then you will have to add it back.

So a fresh install of the script is most suggested?

 

As for editing, would the STS be a good idea, or should I simply stick with doing the hard editing of the files.

In my opinion you should not use a multi-template system unless you really need it. (For example if you change templates often) as it complicates things. For the categories problem you need to locate where the box and/or call is and move it to the right spot. Seems like this is a custom store so you may have to post code at some point for someone to help.
