brough Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I am using sts templating for my site that I converted over from interspire to Oscommerce because it has SO MANY more modules and abilities:) Anyways, I have searched this forum and cannot find a suitable answer, so please excuse this post if its a duplicate or if the answer is in plain site!! With that said I am trying to include a header.php file for use in my templates, so that I can change the header once and be done. I have tried to include a header.php file into my index.php.html, but it does not work. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!! I'm using a very old version of STS so I'm not sure if the setup is still the same, but... In sts_templates/mysite/templatename.html add beneath <body> <? include"/home/path/path/catalog/includes/sts_templates/mysite/header.html"; ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peper Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Please anyone, after reading post after post, user manual, google you name it.. I'm lost How exactly is a box added to the columns? I know you need to define it but yes Asking is free right? So in my old column left I had // Custom Product Builder if (substr(basename($PHP_SELF), 0, 12) != 'builder_main') { include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'builder.php'); } My new sts_column_left.php I've made // Custom Product Builder require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'builder.php'); $sts->restart_capture ('builderbox', 'box'); // Get Builder box and then sts_template.html I insert $buiderbox$ On viewing my page there shows on the left $buiderbox$ between all the working other boxes. Now this got me baffled, I need to do another 4 more boxes and is stump with the first one Please could someone tell me in detail how this is done Quote Getting the Phoenix off the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use as many blocks as you need and just change the block names. $sts->start_capture(); require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'new_thing_box.php'); $sts->stop_capture('newthingbox', 'box'); // 'box' makes the system remove some html code before and after the box. Otherwise big mess! Note: If $sts->stop_capture('newthingbox', 'box') is followed by $sts->start_capture, you can replace both by $sts->restart_capture('newthingbox', 'box') Also, make sure if you are using stop end characters as you stated above, $builderbox$, that all of your tags are using them as well. Otherwise, simply use $builderbox instead.

silklink Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hi I need to add some javascript code into the template but the code varies depending upon the data - the code sets a season dependent theme. I notice in the template that the $naming convention is used which seems to be related to defined constants in PHP. I wondered if I could use something similar to place a block of code. I have my catalog set as one level down from root with my home page and a few other pages at root level. For these pages they 'include' a Themes function which determines the javascript to return along with a couple of other variables - like what folder to take the store's logo from, along with texts like, 'Merry Christmas' or 'Mothers Day'. I then set these into the page and never have to bother redressing my site for Christmas or Mother's Day and so on. However, I have to do it manually for OSC and STS at the moment. So how could I define say $themeJava, $themeDir and $themeText to bring back the required blocks of javascript of text? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peper Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Thanks Bill I tried varies scenarios to add the code, still unable to get this right I've added the following: sts_column_left.php // Custom Product Builder require(DIR_WS_BOXES .

Guest Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I have just installed Advanced Specials v1.3.3 Contribution on a live site designed using STS 4.6. Installation was simple and the specials contribution works fine in two out of three page generated within the STS template... [A] FINE - Product listing in subcategories. Price is struck through in red and new special price shown NOT WORKING - Product description page. Price remains as before contribution, no special change [C] FINE - Shopping cart. Price is correct as special in [A] above. Have reverted to non-STS shop and the product description page does reflect changed price, so issue is with STS. Can anyone advise solution. Happy to PM php where necessary. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBN_Dave Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I am having problems incorporating a section on the home page: Here is my code inside sts_user_code.php: $sts->start_capture(); include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_FEATURED); $sts->stop_capture('featuredproducts'); $sts->start_capture(); include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_FEATURED_C); $sts->stop_capture('featuredcategory'); For some reason, having $featuredproducts in the html will make featured.php(FILENAME_FEATURED) show up on the home page, but when I have $featuredcategory or $featuredcategory$, all that shows up is that text, not the featured_c.php file that I would like. If I used the 'featuredproducts' to show featured_c.php, that works as well, so it is not my php file that is the problem, it seems that it is the 'featuredcategory' alias itself, or that I need to declare it somewhere else so that the template system will read it properly. Does anyone know of something that I'm missing? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuen Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) I'm upgrading my shop to OSC2.3.1, now trying to add the STS4.6. But I meet a problem. I didn't find the "switch ($set) {" in the catalog/admin/modules.php and there are no '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_MODULES, 'set=payment', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_MODULES_PAYMENT . '</a><br>' . in catalog/admin/includes/boxes/modules.php there are no column_left.php and column_right.php in the catalog/include folder Now where can I put these stuff? // START STS 4.1 case 'sts': $module_type = 'sts'; $module_directory = DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES . 'sts/'; $module_key = 'MODULE_STS_INSTALLED'; define('HEADING_TITLE', HEADING_TITLE_MODULES_STS); break; // END STS 4.1 // START STS 4.1 '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_MODULES, 'set=sts', 'NONSSL') .

Bryndog Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hi, I posted about this in the other STS thread - apologies if it's in the wrong place, there's 2! My STS installation works fine up until checkout_confirmation.php where the template seems to just break. I cant find out why. I've tried forcing the table widths, some css but to no avail. I have installed Agree2terms1.7 on the checkout_confirmation page, but I don't see this to be the issue as its displaying in the correct space - just the center content seems to have 60 or 70px padding either side that is coming from nowhere and pushing out the side of my template and making things a little messy. I implemented this bug fix but it didn't work for me : Here is a quick fix for your checkout_confirmation.php file that is causing the problem with this particular template set (freeosc_009): Backup your website before making any changes. Download a copy of your current checkout_confirmation.php file and open it using your favorite PHP Editor. Find the following code around line 111: <!-- body_text //--> <td width="100%" valign="top"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td> <?php if (isset($payment->form_action_url)) { $form_action_url = $payment->form_action_url; } else { $form_action_url = tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PROCESS, '', 'SSL'); } echo tep_draw_form('checkout_confirmation', $form_action_url, 'post'); ?> <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td class="pageHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></td> And replace it with the following: <!-- body_text //--> <td width="100%" valign="top"> <?php /* BOF: STS checkout page break fix */ if (isset($payment->form_action_url)) { $form_action_url = $payment->form_action_url; } else { $form_action_url = tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PROCESS, '', 'SSL'); } echo tep_draw_form('checkout_confirmation', $form_action_url, 'post'); ?> <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td> <?php /* EOF: STS checkout page break fix */ ?> <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td class="pageHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></td> Save the file and upload it to your server, replacing the old checkout_confirmation.php file. As mentioned above this does not work for me at all. As there was a fix for this, can anyone tell me what the issue is so I can try to get around it, or does anyone know of abother fix or work around for this. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated as its driving me mental now. Quote Bryndog, a lone crusader charged with not messing up Thanks to any an all for your help and advice.

Lotti Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I have STS installed on my site. Not in any way related to STS which is the most helpful contribution in the world but because I had some problems iwth some other contributions - I ended up paying someone to work on my site - they did that and I paid up only to find they disabled STS and now it doesn't load in Admin. I'm an STS devotee so have no idea how to edit my site without it. I have offered the contractor money to fix it but he will not respond. Can anyone help fix this. The error in Admin when I selet the STS module is: Warning: main(/home/mette/public_html/catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/sts/sts_home.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mette/public_html/catalog/admin/modules.php on line 139 Warning: main(/home/mette/public_html/catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/sts/sts_home.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mette/public_html/catalog/admin/modules.php on line 139 Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/mette/public_html/catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/sts/sts_home.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/mette/public_html/catalog/admin/modules.php on line 139 Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class sts_index in /home/mette/public_html/catalog/includes/modules/sts/sts_index.php on line 15 If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it I'm totally stuck.
