TracyS Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hey Bill, Nevermind (unless you already know I need to edit something else). If I turn STS off I still have the same problem and I have verified that the stylesheet is being pulled. I'm off to find the forum for the product tabs contribution and see if anyone there knows :blush: Hi Bill, I found there is a contribution that does what I was wanting to do - problem is I can't quite seem to get it working right in product_info.php I don't have templates turned on for the product_info at the moment as I was trying to use the Product Tabs contribution and I almost have it but for some reason it is all showing up vertical rather than as tabs in a horizontal layout. I can't remember if there is another page I should be editing for product_info.php with STS installed so figured I'd ask if I should edit something else too - LOL Thanks! (you can see what it's doing here: www dot tcdataweb dot com/MMHTest/herbal-calcium-p-37.html) PS - it is pulling the stylesheet info correctly I believe Quote ~Tracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkellum Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Hi, Like I said, all of the template file pull great when Ultimate SEO is turned off. When it is on, they don't. Why would the admin settings for the STS be causing problems when the product_info.php pages work when Ultimare SEO is turned off? The settings.... Default template (v2.1.1) Use Templates? true Code for debug output debug Files for normal template sts_user_code.php Base folder includes/sts_templates/ Template folder store Default template file sts_template.html Use template for infoboxes true Index template (v2.0.0) Use template for index page true Files for index.php template sts_user_code.php Check parent templates true Product info templates and content templates (v2.1.0) Use template for product info page true Enable STS3 compatibility mode false Files for normal template sts_user_code.php Files for content template sts_user_code.php;product_info.php The popup is not turned on. Thanks! One thing you mentioned was typical of an incorrect setting in the Files for Normal template but your settings are OK (best to make sure the thing is "plugged in" before looking any further). Also: You should NEVER enable the "Use Search Engine Friendly URLS" as the code is still in development. Disable this in the admin if you have this enabled.

pbor1234 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Bill, I would like to add png24 support in my index-page and then to the product-pages as well (sts template pages offcourse). I found a solution written in php (link). What i basically need to do is perform a preg_replace on the complete page to search/replace png images for msie6. Since i'm using sts i'm looking for the best place to do this, i found function replace in the sts object. Is this a good place to do it? Or are there other better ways to do it?

strobotron Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I have a shop with 2 different languages, I want my own customized looking menu and do not want to use the category box ... so (without using the urlcat function because i've read this is a hog of resources and also i can't manage to figure out how to make it work anyhow! haha) is there a way to link to the product categories? I thought the urlcat method would be the way because then the category names could change based on the language selection without any extra fussing. thoughts? thanks!

Yes, you can easily do what you are wanting to do. Have you considered using the Categories as a Nested unordered List contribution? It allows you to edit the category listing using CSS.

Have you tried that? This would make the 'replacePngTags' function available to STS yes, good idea. But question remains; from where to actually call this function that requires the page content as input argument? (or am i missing something about the sts_inc modules?)

alea Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hi, I checked my installation -- everything is working good there. I don't know what are .htaccess lines? I discovered today that there are two different Ultimate SEO programs -- one written by Chemo and another written by FWR Media. I have the one written by FWR Media called ULTIMATE Seo Urls 5. Does this version of Ultimate SEO conflict with STS? Another question: I want to change the layout of the "catalog/index.php?cPath=23_122" pages. It is where all of the products are listed -- for some reason in rows (weird because none of the other oscommerce pages are like this one - specials, catagory pages, etc). Do you have an index page already setup that alters this page? Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STS allows you to template category and subcategory pages using the following naming syntax for your templates: index.php.html = default category template to be used for all category pages that does not have a specific template created for it. index.php_0.html = Home page template index.php_23.html = category ID 23 template that will be used in all pages in category ID 23, including subcategories that do not have thier own template. index.php_23_22.html = subcategory ID 22 template that will be used for subcategory 22 pages. ------------------------------- To modify the product layout on these pages, the area that is controlled by the $content$ tag, I suggest using a contribution to do this for you such as "Product Listing in Columns" to name one. bobosc123 1 Quote Bill Kellum Sounds Good Productions STS Tutorials & more: STSv4.6, STS Add-ons (STS Power Pack), STS V4 Forum STS Forum FREE TEMPLATE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TracyS Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Just a heads-up for everyone using STS 4 and Product Tabs contributions together - these two contributions work together very well. You don't need to make any special adjustments. The problems I was having turned out to be several things. I had table row outside of the table in one of my Master Products contribution pages, I had a missing </form> tag in my one of my Tell a Friend Too contribution pages and I needed to change the includes/modules/product_tabs.php page for the Embed URL's in Product Descriptions contribution. So I just wanted to make sure that I let everyone know - it had nothing to do with STS :blush: I love the STS contribution, and many times it is blamed for things not working. So I figured I would point out when it works great and has nothing to do with difficulties in getting another contribution up and running ;) Thanks Bill!!

STSv4.5.8 I downloaded can't be installed on my shop since I have already an army of contributions installed? Thank you. Yes, this is the STSv4.x or in your case 4.5.8 support thread. No, it means that you can't use the fresh install option. The best option is to do the following: Use a file comparison tool such as BeYond Compare or WinMerge and compare the files/folders from your store to the files from the contribution.Compare the files in the "Files for MS2" or "Files for RC1/2" (depending on what version of osC you have. These folders include files that you already have in your store but include the modified code needed to integrate STS into your shop. You will use the comparison tool to "merge" in the differences in these files from your existing files in order to not mess up what you already have installed in your shop. [*] Upload all of the files/folders from the "STS" folder. This folder includes the files that are new to your shop that you did not have prior to installing STS. That's it.

fredriksk Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) Absolutely - that's what the "content" folder is for - content templates :) Read the instructions that come with STS to learn how to use them :) But does this include the content of boxes to? for instance the product listing box. How does the $content work for this? There is some kind of loop involved in boxes like product listing box or category box but I can't use php code in templates so how does this work? Does the template I create in content/ folder represent the display of one product in product listning box and one category in the categorybox? I read the part about $content tag but as I understood it I can use $content to shange the shape of a box or a sub page like a category but kan I realy change the box content of category box or product listening box? What should I name the file in content/ folder so the template pick it upp to show product list for a specifik product?
