installed this menu but no link in admin

[nihanshe]

Hi I am trying to install this menu but I see no link in the admin>configuration

 

 

all the changes to all the files within catalog just above the closing head tag have been completed

 

<?php

if ( defined('FWR_SUCKERTREE_MENU_ON') && FWR_SUCKERTREE_MENU_ON === 'true' )

echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="fwr_suckertree_css_menu.php" />';

?>

</head>

 

I have replaced the one line in catalog/includes/column_left.php

 

if(defined('FWR_SUCKERTREE_MENU_ON') && 'true' === FWR_SUCKERTREE_MENU_ON) {

include(DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS . 'fwr_categories.php');

} else

if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) {

 

Browse to www.ukpenkits.com/AdminMenuOptions_installer.php and the relevant database entries will be automatically installed. this causes a 404 error

 

 

Enable Suckertree Menu = true/false - turns the menu system on/off but I see no link in the admin

 

Please help this is my 3rd attempt

Some systems will not allow the file to be created, in which case you will have to create the file manually and chmod 0777 or 0755 dependant on your server settings. The file should be called categories.ser

 

So it is a file.

 

In admin

 

Cache path: True uses standard osc DIR_FS_CACHE.

False will try to write to catalog root. Choose true to use the standard cache path as set in configuration. False will attempt to write to shop root.

 

Using false attempts to write to the catalog directory.

Hi ok I have set the use cache to true in the admin I realize I have to create a file called categories.se but I dont know where this file has to stored ie what directory (catalog directory) do i just save a new blank file called categories.se and save it in catalog/ or /home/ukpenkicom/public_html/catalog/includes/functions and then set the permissions to be writable.

 

I know your trying to help me coopco and I apologize for my persistence but i know nothing about php at all and the settings within the admin.

Blank file ftp to your catalog directory and set the permissions.

 

Don't want your money.

Blank file ftp to your catalog directory and set the permissions.

 

Don't want your money.

 

Thanks coopco I have already created that file in the catalog directory with the permissions set to 777 full read and write

here are the settings with in the admin config FWR menu

 

Enable FWR Menu = true/false true

Choose sort params = categories_id or sort_order c.sort_order

Cache path: True uses standard osc DIR_FS_CACHE.

False will try to write to catalog root. DIR_FS_CACHE

Reset the categories menu. true

 

the use cache is set to FALSE

and the cache directory is /tmp/

 

 

and this is still the error when you visit http://www.ukpenkits.com/catalog/

 

Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp/categories.ser) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/ukpenkicom/public_html/) in /home/ukpenkicom/public_html/catalog/includes/functions/fwr_cat_functions.php on line 110

Are you sure you have the permissions correct on the categories.ser file?

[nihanshe]

Are you sure you have the permissions correct on the categories.ser file?

 

think so 777 is full write permissions, gives me owner group and public

 

just check something with ya

Enable FWR Menu = true/false false this turns off the menu and my catalog page returns

 

Enable FWR Menu = true/false true

Choose sort params = categories_id or sort_order c.sort_order

Cache path: True uses standard osc DIR_FS_CACHE.

False will try to write to catalog root. false

Reset the categories menu. false

 

I put this settings in and then get the errors

 

Warning: fopen(categories.ser) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/ukpenkicom/public_html/catalog/includes/functions/fwr_cat_functions.php on line 110

Couldn't fopen categories.ser

 

 

now the totally blank file that was created (categories.ser) has no text at all and I mean nothing just a white blank page

Hi coopco many thanks for the help you gave me on this got it working now, but for some reason works fine in firefox tested in IE, is the a fix for IE as the menu do not transition outside the box I'm sure this is not meant to happen this way as the links are unreadable as they are squashed had a search around the posting but could not find anything about this.
