Hi

I am new to oscommerce and I liked the contribution of mindsparx admin, I have donloaded the latest version which i think only works for oscommerce version 3 , but at the moment i have version 2.2 , because when I looked to the install instraction which i quote " Mindsparx Admin version 3.0 for OSCommerce v3.0 Alpha created by Janne.kilpio @ mindsparx.org

Mindsparx_admin was originally created for oscommerce v2.2 RC 2a, and for those who is used to the look of mindsparx_admin, here is one for v3.0 Alpha

The install is easy, just follow the instructions below

in admin/index.php

look for:

require('templates/default.php');

change that to:

require('templates/mindsparx_admin.php');

Upload all new files and you are done ;)

there is a support forum for mindsparx_admin 2.1 here, http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=324354

/Janne.K

Need a professional oscommerce template? visit mindsparx.org

"

so I looked for the: require('templates/default.php'); in admin/index.php BUT I cant find it also for the 2nd step I could n't find the required phrace.

so I searched for old version of mindsparx Admin and found one , whichnisnunder this link : http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/6440 and the date is 22 Dec 2008 .

please advice me if what I am doing is correct or can you tell me where I got it wrong.?

if what I am doing is correct then realy I find it very hard to implement this step wich is the last one which is about "ading your own links "

"

Adding your own links

All links is moved to the header and if you need to add your own it has to be rewriten, for examle when you install a new module

and it requires a link in for example catalog.php like this (Featured products)

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_FEATURED, '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_CATALOG_F=hange it to this:

Note! 'selected_box=catalog' can be what ever the link requires

And links that´s going in to the configuration drop needs the id that´s going in to the database

for example (Featured products) the database looks like this:

**********************

INSERT INTO configuration_group (configuration_group_id, configuration_group_title, configuration_group_description,

sort_order, visible) values ('39','Featured', 'Featured Products Display', '339', '1');

**********************

note the value "39" that´s what we are looking for, now create your configuration link for Featured products like this:

Now add your links in your admin header and in what ever dropdown you need them in ;)

as you can see it requires that you have basic understanding in doing this or it wont work.

***********************************************************************

Here is some usefull header links for various contributions:

Order editor:

Optional related products

For config dropdown

For other dropdown

Featured products

For config dropdown

For other dropdown

Star product

Products extra categories

Extra infopages

I think that´s all

your admin´s been officially pimped! "

please help me with some hints how to implements the above step because is not clear for me how to implement it

Maybe it's better to use this version if you have version 2.2 of your shop. I had no problems installing this version

Sorry for my bad speack english. Habitually, I speack french.

I used the version of ReyBlack for MindSparx admin.

My problem is the following one.

I try to install the contribution " Store Mode V1.3 ". The problem it is, that after the installation, I do not manage to see the space of the configuration of the " Store mode " in the admin.

Here is codes them modifying the admin in mysql and configuration.php:

in catalog/admin/configuration.php

Find this:

	tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONFIGURATION, 'gID=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['gID'] . '&cID=' . $cID));

** NOTE: The first block of code will automaticly set Admin->Configuration->Store Mode->Offline Warning
	 to 'false' after you set the Admin->Configuration->Current Store Mode to "Closed" or "Maintenance"
	 This way you will NOT forget to do it yourself and you'll avoid customer confusion.

** NOTE: If you don't have a fixed IP number, the second block of code will get
	 the actual IP of your admin computer and write it to the database.

Thank you for your help and for your understanding.

Hello,

How can I integrate with Admin With Access Levels contribution?

Thanks for a great contribution!

Don.

Great contribution.

I am having problems with the drop down boxes working when on ssl. Seems to work ok in i.e. 7 but not in i.e 8. Anybody else noticed this?

I am working with the mindsparx admin for a couple of weeks now, and I'm very satisfied with the contrib.

I only have 1 small problem that I can't solve:

I have almost 2000 products in my store and some of them show up on multiple categories. When I try to run some reports that show all the products, like category product foldout list, then the lower part of the list is not visible anymore in Internet Explorer, it just dissapears out of the Mindsparc block. If there is a button below, it's also gone.

At the same time I get a few or a lot of black stripes under the header

The strange thing is that on my Imac in Safari, I don't have this problem. It just shows the complete list and missing buttons and no black stripes.

But I'm working more on my Windows computer with my sites than on my Mac, so I love to solve this thing.

Do you know what I can do to fix this?

iankil · June 16, 2009

Hello All,

Sorry that i haven’t answered any questions for a while but i have been busy with other projects, but the problem with disappearing text in explorer is probably a simple fix,

Try to delete the height (height="800px") for the table in header.php i think that’s the problem.

/Janne.K

Clau123 · June 16, 2009

Hello Janne,

I made it height="" en that is working. Thanks. I can use a lot more of the contribs I build in now.

Hi Janne,

I did an upgrade to version 2.1 but now I have the following missing gif buttons in the error log for both bling and blue templates:-

buttons/english/button_customer_exclusions.gif
buttons/english/button_shipping_zone_exclusions.gif

buttons/english/button_category_exclusions.gif

buttons/english/button_manufacturer_exclusions.gif

buttons/english/button_product_exclusions.gif

buttons/english/button_new_coupon.gif

buttons/english/button_new_testimonial.gif

I used the PSD files to try and create them but I don't have the font that you are using and no matter what I try, I can't get the buttons to look like your originals. They either end up too big or too tiny. Perhaps my skills with PS is seriously lacking.

Could you be kind enough to make them and upload it here for the rest of us, please?

Thank you kindly.

ivyfleur · July 5, 2009

Hi Janne,

Forgot to add that I am also seeing missing file in admin/includes/stylesheet.

Now I know that I have rename it to styleshhet_old.css following your installation instruction so, should I be getting this error?

Thanks once again.

wemseo · July 6, 2009

Hello Janne

Firstly, let me tell you - if there was such a thing like on OSC-OSCAR ... you'd need to be the first to receive it and I'd like to hand it over personally.

A great contribution and an even greater Admin-Panel !!! Thanks a ... times (feel free to add the number you like) :)

Janne, I face the same issue as lyonsperf. I have installed your latest 2.1 version though. I looked but I can't find the guide on how to add to the menu and crate sub-menus. For instance, POLL - usually needs its one menu and has two sub-menus, now it doesn't appear, however.

Again, thanks for this wonderful admin panel (I like it better than the store front now - lol)

Best regards

hello

lyonsperf,

i liked the idea of submenus so i changed the contribution and installed a new dropdown menu that supports multi levels...

So instead of adding more dropdowns you can add them as submenues and save some space.

For those who has installed 2.0 or Stephans fantastic theme, i have added upgrade instructions.

i havn't updated the demo yet but here is a picture of what it can do.

There is a short guide on how to add submenus in the new download, and the code in admin/boxes/ has instructions on how to create subs.

I hope you find this usefull, if not.. use 2.0 ;)

/Janne.K

iankil · July 6, 2009

Haha, where can i pick up my Oscar? i really want one...

ivyfleur, no need to rename the styleshhet.css its just done so you know that it has been moved to the new folder. And about the buttons, try to enable/disable the button function in the header.php file and see if its still there.

I´m abit bussy at the moment but i´ll try to add the buttons asap. The font used for the buttons is a font that most of you have , "Tahoma" dont have any smooth or similar just plain text like the screen below

Wemseo

The new menu that allows you to create submenus is a bit weird in Firefox so i recommend all new users to install the 2.0 version

But if you really need subs then 2.1 is the one to use. I have explained in a previous page how to ad them, have a look here http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?sho...24354&st=80

To add submenues is complicated, and i couldnt find a easy way to do this... but ones you know how to add them ist easy :)

/Janne.K

ivyfleur · July 6, 2009

Hi Janne.K,

Problems solved. Once I saw your PSD layout image above, I managed to create all those missing buttons. All errors are now gone.

Once again thanks so much.

Regards.

July 9, 2009

Thank you so much for a wonderful conrtibution.

I'm not sure if this is an issue with the package or not. But I installed your contribution on first. works great. Then I attempted to install contribution "Unique Order Number." To my surprise the orders don't show up in my admin panel when viewing orders that customers just purchased. But the funny thing is that they do show up in my database with their unqiue order id's. Any thoughts on how I can bring this to light?

It looks like that contribution requires the editing of orders.php and only asks me to replace every int)$oID to $oID, which is what i did. but now, no orders show up on orders.php

I only have order editor as the other contribution installed.

How could I create a subcategory for the poll (alternatively, add a subcategory and have the poll as a "DEEPER" [second level] category then?

Thanks

Wooow! :D

Its working!

Now I understand!

Many thanx for your help!

lol

Cheers, Acid

wemseo · July 13, 2009

Hmm ...

It seams I'm definitely missing something because I have no /admin/boxes/ at all?!?!? Any idea how and where I can get my hands on the missing directory?

Thanks

Hi!

Sorry about that but my word understandig in English is not the best !

I dont understand all content of the guide.

OK ... I'm almost there

I got the "deeper sub-menu working..., the only thing is - I have a Double-Up on the link (the red arrow in the picture shows the double-up)

and here is my code ...

<?php
 $heading = array();
 $contents = array();

 $heading[] = array('text'  => BOX_HEADING_TOOLS,
				 'link'  => tep_href_link(FILENAME_BACKUP, 'selected_box=tools'));
 /*This is for your subcategories. If you are installing a contribution and want the menu item to show up as a submenu in your navigationbar, just add your submenu link here. for example, if you install a contribution like header tags SEO that requires a new link in the header bar or your old column left, then you can add it in a existing box like "tools" and instead of adding links to the main links ($contents[]) below, just add them in $catalogSub1 or $catalogSub2 etc...

Then you need to add the variable to the main links ($contents[]) and its done like this:
Choose what link you want your submeny to appare after and add for example $catalogSub1. (note the dot after the variable) after any '</a>' . like this:

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_EXPECTED, '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_CATALOG_PRODUCTS_EXPECTED . '</a>' .$subcategory1. 
*/

  /*subcategories start 
	you can create as many subs you need, just copy the code below and change $catalogSub1 to $catalogSub2 etc...*/
 $toolsSub1= '</li><li><a class="menuBoxContentLink" href="#">'.BOX_HEADING_HEADER_TAGS_SEO.'</a>
	<ul>
		<li><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_HEADER_TAGS_SEO, '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_HEADER_TAGS_ADD_A_PAGE . '</a></li>

Could I get a last push please, to help me iron it out? :rolleyes:

THANK you

PS: I'm still not sure if I really miss a part of the directory or was /admin/boxes/ just a typo?

Hmm ...

It seams I'm definitely missing something because I have no /admin/boxes/ at all?!?!? Any idea how and where I can get my hands on the missing directory?

Thanks
