I have read every were and it says to do the same thing ..

 

1. Create a folder in admin named "backups" <--- my folder is already there

2. Check admin/includes/configure.php make sure

define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');

is there, and it is, other wise I couldnt post it...

3. Change permissions to the folder to 777 , done that as well , now i still get the error

Error: Backup directory does not exist. Please set this in configure.php.

In my admin page ... can anyone help me.. I have gave myself three head aches trying to figure this out....

 

Also!

My banner changed when I added "headertags_SEO" to my site... it reset to OsCommerce banner and I cant get it to change back! Please help!

When I go to admin banner manager and load the pic i want to use, (like i did befor headertags_seo) it dont work...

 

I am new to php stuff but have a good brain, but im stumped..;.

 

Both problems occured after headertags_php install

 

 

 

 

Ok I fixed the banner, but i dont like it, now its reading my banner from images looking for store_logo.png i renamed my banner and moved it there but its not working from banner manager, and it should, I would still like to get the correct fix for this, I just dont know what file is telling it to read from there...

It appears you uploaded the included files instead of merging them. You'll need to restore the changes you overwrote and re-install the changes by hand.

 

Jack

 

Was that reply to me Jack? I uploaded all the new files then made all the changes to the other files manually. It seemed to go on forever! :D

 

Any other ideas? Or ways round it?

Use the search box feature at the bottom of this page and search for standard.

The definitions were overwritten. You have to restore them.

Hi Arild have same problem with fckeditor on categories description

did you get any solution?

 

thanks

 

 

 

Not sure where this should be posted.

 

I have fckeditor installed and working.

I have HTC installed and working.

 

But when i try to change the HTC to use fckeditor on categories description i am stuck in how to merge the 2 different statments.

I get FCK editor to show in HTC bit missplaced.

It load values from DB at the first time, but owerwrite with empty if i save.

 

	 case 'edit_category':
xxxx
xxxx
xxxx
$category_htc_description_string .= '<br>' . tep_image(DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES . $languages[$i]['directory'] . '/images/' . $languages[$i]['image'], $languages[$i]['name']) . ' ' . tep_draw_textarea_field('categories_htc_description[' . $languages[$i]['id'] . ']', 'hard', 30, 5, tep_get_category_htc_description($cInfo->categories_id, $languages[$i]['id']));		 /*** End Header Tags SEO ***/

 

	 case 'edit_category':
xxxx
xxxx
xxxx
$category_htc_description_string .= '<br>' . tep_image(DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES . $languages[$i]['directory'] . '/images/' . $languages[$i]['image'], $languages[$i]['name']) . ' ' . tep_draw_fckeditor('categories_htc_description[' . $languages[$i]['id'] . ']','600','300',(isset($categories_htc_description[$languages[$i]['id']]) ? stripslashes($categories_htc_description[$languages[$i]['id']]) : tep_get_category_htc_description($cInfo->categories_id, $languages[$i]['id']));		 /*** End Header Tags SEO ***/

 

Both functions are in HTML_output and both are set to return the same variable.

 

Is there any who have FCK working with HTC who can share a solution to this. Both for the coding part and the messed up placement of the input boxes.

Stupid question here, if I install this will I have to manually adjust all the headers or can I set it up to automatically use info from the items descriptions?

What are "all the headers?"

BIG THANK YOU Jack for this helpfull contrib...

 

I have som issues that i hope you can help me solve.

 

The first one is that i cant get to my catalog area in admin. I get this error code: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CASE in /home/xxx/public_html/admin/categories.php on line 357

 

And when i check my admin/categories.php at that line 357 i find this line: case 'copy_to_confirm':

 

I dont see anything wrong in the code but further down i have pasted your contribs code so maybe i did something wrong there?

 

Here is a few lines near the code case `copy_to_confirm`

* Okay, now im a little bit ahead with this BUT it seems that i cant change and SAVE any text in my product description... i try to save but all looks the same when i press prewiew or save and look at my store or in admins product description.

 

When i Go to admin->catalog, and click on a category and then on edit i see all of the regular things there, and also this and that is right isnt it?:

 

produktbeskrivning.jpg

 

*Earlier i could also use tinymce for my product description but that function seems to be gone now only working in the product description tag.

 

* When i visit my store´s category part i see the word path Standard above my header... even when i go inside a specific product. I think the problem is in my product.php?

 

* When i go to configuration ----> Header tags SEO, and click display column box ----> true, My whole product page (product information, images and so on) goes down and outside the of my shop...

 

I´m terribly sorry for being such a "bug", but i really would get this to work, and because my english is bad i need very eay explanations... sorry!

 

Giving all of you guys a flower for keeping your smile up with people like us.... :blush:

Any problem with the products edit page is due to a mistake in the admin/categories.php file. Examples of the files are included. You will need to use a compare program to find the differences andwhat the problem is. TinyMCS is controlled via the settings in admin->Configuration->Header Tags SEO.

You can add as many keywords as you wish, though it is a mistake, as explained elsewhere in this thread. The only thing that limits the number of them is the size of the field in the database. If it doesn't provide enough room, then you will need to increase its size.

 

Jack

 

 

How many keywords in your opinion would be safe?

 

Thanks, Rickey

Explained many times in the last few pages.

And i still only have the Timy mce working with your contrib but no longer with the old product description area...

Enable admin->configuration->Header Tags SEO->Enable TinyMCE Editor for Products. If that doesn't make a difference, upload one of the included categories.php files to your server and see if that works.

And still When i go to configuration ----> Header tags SEO, and click display column box ----> true, My whole product page content, in customer area,(product information, images and so on) goes down under and outside of my shop... (i have to scroll down to se product text and product image..

The box is for a standard shop. If your shops box design is different, it may not look right. If your column file has been edited to where it uses non-standard oscommerce code, it may not look right. In both cases, you have to adjust it to fit your shops design.

Thanks, Rickey

The generally accepted number is three but it really depends on the text on the page. The keywords need to be mentioned in that text, the more times the better. With three keywords that usually works out to a few paragraphs of text. So you can see that having too many keywords would cause so much text to be on the page that your customers would fall asleep from boredom.
