home, about ... extra pages question


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hello there ?

 

I know that this question has come up before ? but I have searched and researched on everything that I can think of and have not found any.

 

What I want to do is have my home page and a few other pages so that they have the same header and footer files that the osc has. I would also like to include the two secondary side columns pages that I created on those other pages.

 

I have tried several different include statements and also used the same required statements, but I get errors either about sessions or about failed opening.

 

Right now I want all the extra files set up so that they are at the domain name ? but I have the catalog and admin within a folder.

 

Any clues to help me out? I know that others have done this in the past because I have seen the sites.

 

Thanks for any help :)

However, I don't like the new page that he has. It is slightly different from the more current CVS entries, so what I did was take one of the blank pages from the information box (i.e. shipping.php, privacy.php, conditions.php, etc) and use them instead in /includes/languages/english.

 

There are only a couple of slight differences between his included /includes/languages/english/new_page.php and the ones I just mentioned. Using the most up to date ones will get you the best results.

 

Otherwise, follow his readme files to a tee. Works beautifully.

I'm working on getting OSC implemented into my own design . . . *sigh* this is not easy, but not hard... It just takes a little time .. .

 

I already created my design for my site, then decided to intergrate the store into the design.... So now I'm in the middle of doing that...

 

That 'new temp plate' is something to use as a resource tho.

 

Thanx!

Thanks Chris for the help. Although what I want to do is a little different then that, but I think I have figured out why it has not been working the way I want. Let me know if I?m wrong here ?

 

Right now my domain main dir has a dir called osdmg for the osc ? and then I have both the admin and the catalog directories within that one. So my links are looking like this ?

http://mysite.com/osdmg/catalog/defualt.php ? or http://mysite.com/osdmg/catalog/index.php. I would rather have so that it would be like this http://mysite.com/index.php or http://mysite.com/default.php.

 

To make this happen I would have to delete out the osdmg dir completely and place everything under the catalog dir into the main dir of my site, and install the shopping cart again.

 

Then from here I can make an exact copy of the default.php page and modify it to my needs and save it as the index.php. This would need new pages within includes dir, ie ? the text main for the index, about page or other pages that I include on the site. This is where the new_temp.php pages come in.

 

I hope I have explained this right and made it easy to understand. Thanks again for the help.
