[Contribution] STS v4

bkellum · May 30, 2010

Hi guys, I'm looking for some help with this.

I'm using STS V4.5.8

I've installed STS onto the online shop at www.swanseavale4x4.co.uk/catalog

I can't get the "Click To Enlarge" link to work when clicking on my pictures. I've searched forums and tried numerous different things, but to no avail as of yet. I want to go live with this shop in the next few weeks or so any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Chris.

If your Click to Enlarge link worked prior to STS, it should still work now. Be sure you have the required STS tags in the head section of your template to pull in your JavaScript, Metatags, etc. (look at the sample templates).

*Warning* Put your milk down!

Is there a way for me to remove the HEADING_TITLE in just the 'top' or main page?

The STS V4.6 is great, BTW.

Not sure what you meant by the warning comment....

Answer to your question, Yes, simply make a home page template (index.php_0.html) and leave out the HEADING_TITLE tag from the template.

More Details in case you needed it:

Hi

I just installed STSv4.6. Now when I go to my website I get this error message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function add_current_page() on a non-object in /home/buildawe/public_html/store/catalog/includes/application_top.php on line 312

This is line 312 in catalog/includes/application_top.php:

  $navigation->add_current_page();

And a few lines around that line:

  } else {
   tep_session_register('navigation');
   $navigation = new navigationHistory;
 }
 $navigation->add_current_page();

// Shopping cart actions
 if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['action'])) {

I am nearly certain when I finished up installing it last night all was in order. Something happened between then and now! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi All!

I did a template using STS contribution but I cannot login or register or read variables like username (%s). Don't know why but my layout is not sending variables. Could someone tell me why? This is really strange because all others STS templates works perfectly and mine not. I have compared between them and no big difference found.

Summarizing:

- OSC 2.2RC2a in PHP 5.2.13

- STS contribution installed

- Only my STS template do not work (do not send variables: do not search, do not login, do not send password, no form post/send variable). All others templates which came in STS package as example works perfectly.

- Did I forget any critical line? I have compared files and nothing found.

Does anybody know why can't I login or send variables?

Any help will be very helpful

Does your template include the code used in the "blank" template?

First, how did you install STSv4.6; Manually or Copy?

If you did a "Copy" installation, open your /includes/application_top.php file and find the following line of code:

 if (tep_session_is_registered('navigation')) {

Replace it with:

 if (tep_session_is_registered('navigation') && is_object($navigation)) {

See this for more information

Let me know if this worked for you,

Does your template include the code used in the "blank" template?

No, I just started from scratch. But I compared both and no big difference found, looks ok.

The layout is being displayed normally. Only the form post and variables like name is not working on my template.

All other templates, can post and the functions run with no problems.

Any help?

You need the header code from the blank template. You should also check to make sure you have listed your variables correctly:

Correct: $content$

Wrong: $content

 

<?php DEFINE ('STS_END_CHAR', '$'); ?>

<?php DEFINE ('STS_CONTENT_END_CHAR', '$'); ?>

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html $htmlparams>

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
$warning_header$
<!--$headcontent-->

The DOCTYPE can be different but your need the PHP DEFINES as well as $htmlparams and $headcontent

I have changed for what you said.

That two $$ were missing and doctype was different but after copying them from blank page, still do not work.

Any other idea??

By the way, I bought the STS4.8 from your SGP website, Bill!

And you did not mentioned about two $, and the blueshop is working normally with one $

Anyway, I changed for both styles and still do no work. :(

Help, please

Sorry, but you didn't "BUY" anything as I do not "sell" it I give it away for "FREE"!

The tips I was providing above was for STSv4.6.

At this point, the problem is with your template, not STS as the other templates are working fine.

I meant, i bought your STS 4.5.8 Tutorial with blueshop included.

But I am using 4.6 anyway

Template not working yet, but i have no idea as it got only html codes and sts parameters...

Could be something related to CSS??

Post your template code.

nottinhill · June 4, 2010

I am wondering if anyone could help me integrate CSS style buttons into the sts code, as i want to have css based buttons rather than the standard graphics as im trying to go to a more div/css based template style

the module is www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,3365

it simply suggests:
Open the file: catalog/includes/functions/html_output.php

FIND:
<input type="image" src="' . tep_output_string(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/images/buttons/' . $image) . '" border="0" alt="' . tep_output_string($alt) . '"';

REPLACE WITH:
<input type="submit" class="cssButton" value="' . tep_output_string($value) . '" />';

I used a different approach utilizing CSS3, which I defined in my sts_template.html file.

  input[type="text"] { 
/* you know what to do */
   }

   input[type="button"],input[type="submit"] { 
/* you know what to do */
   }

With this technique tampering with the html_output.php shouldn't be necessary anymore -at least for the task I wanted to accomplish.

First, how did you install STSv4.6; Manually or Copy?

If you did a "Copy" installation, open your /includes/application_top.php file and find the following line of code:
 if (tep_session_is_registered('navigation')) {
Replace it with:
 if (tep_session_is_registered('navigation') && is_object($navigation)) {
See this for more information

Let me know if this worked for you,

I did a copy install. I made that change but I am getting this error message now:

Warning: include_once(includes/modules/sts/sts_default.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/buildawe/public_html/store/catalog/includes/classes/sts.php on line 177

Fatal error: Class 'sts_default' not found in /home/buildawe/public_html/store/catalog/includes/classes/sts.php on line 181

includes/classes/sts.php This is line 177:

   include_once (DIR_WS_MODULES.'sts/'.$check_file);

includes/classes/sts.php This is line 181:

	$this->script=new $classname; // Create an object from the module

Thanks

OK, this tells me that you must have copied a file or folder to the wrong directory or you did not do a complete install. In order to install STS, you to upload all of the files from the STS folder as well as copy all of the files from ONE of the MS2 or RC2 folders. Be sure to keep the folder/file tree intact within these folders.

Here goes my template code:

OK...I see a lot of non-stock variables within your template including a lot of variables created in a different language.

Did you define these variables in order for STS to know what to do with them?

Does ALL of the variables not work?

How about the $content$ variable, does it display correctly?

I probably uploaded files/folders to the wrong place (the night I did it I was really tired!) Since this was the very first change I attempted to make to my vanilla site I decided to upload a fresh catalog folder and start again. Now I try to go to my admin side and I get this warning:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'mysql'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/buildawe/public_html/store/catalog/admin/includes/functions/database.php on line 19
Unable to connect to database server!

This is line 19:

      $$link = mysql_connect($server, $username, $password);

I tried to insert server, username and password but I must not be putting it in the incorrect format. Thanks for your help.

All variables has been defined, no problem.

All layout is being displayed correctly.

The problem is when posting something like:

- search

- update qty of products

- login

- registration

- welcome "username"

- etc...

I would have to disagree. The layout wouldn't be a problem. Your variable defines are the issue. Use the stock variables to confirm this. If they work, then your custom variables are the problem. Look there to find your fix.

This would have to do with your installation of osCommerce and not STS. Check your configure.php files as well as the link below:

Installation and Upgrades

Right, I'll check that.

But it

But it is strange because the $content is the "better display v3" contribution and I did not change anything in $content, however do not work in my template but it works to the other ones.

Anyway, I'll check all custom variables again.
