redeclare tep_show_category() error

[ashras99]

I am installing this module http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...,ask+a+question

 

in my shop, template bought from templatemonster.com but when i click on the "Ask a Question" button then getting a following error

 

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare tep_show_category() (previously declared in /home/myshop/public_html/includes/header.php:191) in /home/myshop/public_html/includes/boxes/categories.php on line 13

 

Please suggest me what i have to do to remove this error.

Thanks for the link but some members also mentioned that after doing that change in header.php, some other strange looking problems arrived so any perfect way of solving this problem.

[ashras99]

I tried by changing the name and that remove the error but mess the design of ask a question page by adding 2 more colums one in left and one in right with many options like write a review, currencies, tell a friend, policies link etc....

 

So, required some other solution.

[Jack_mcs]

The reason for the failure is as stated in that thread. The fix may vary depending on your template but I don't think anyone can help you here since it is a problem specific to your code. Someone would have to go through the code to find out the reason for the corruption.

Is it possible that i post the header.php or any other file code here to get a help from you.... btw, i already posted categories.php code here http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?sho...=268518&hl=

[ashras99]

this is the header.php

Please someone help... on this serious matter.

As I explained previously, that is unlikely to happen. The code you posted is specific to your template (or a group of templates). No one can test that unless they have your template since it will cause errors. You are running into one of the problems with using such a template.The only ways around it are to figure it out yourself or to hire someone to fix it for you, unless you find someone that wants to invest their time for free, of course.
