atwell family Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I am a self professed hack! I have made mods to my site but don't understand this clearly. Can someone help with one of these mods? http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2458 http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/920 BTW...What is the difference between an addon and a contribution?

simonmo Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Hello Atwell, The first one is the one you want. The difference between add on's and contributions are small. Basically, add on's you literally add on by copying the module onto the correct folder on your server, and with contributions you have to physically edit the code. So you would be better off using the first add on. When you copy it into the following directory /catalog/includes/modules/shipping/ I think off the top of my head. It will appear inside your admin under .... I think Modules and then Shipping. There will be something like that, and then you can select the add on which in this case is shipping zones and then press install. Once you have done this, you can then press edit to fill in the variables. Let me know if it doesn't work, and I will be glad to assist you in any way. I think after a long time of using modifying oscommerce, I know exactly how you feel right now. When I first used oscommerce, it seemed alien, and then throughout alot of searching and asking, It's all suddenly made sense. Hope this helps Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
