Help needed

[SIG552]

Hello,

I am not a vendor but a retail customer trying to access a German website running osCommerce software. the site in question is www.wiedeko.com.

 

I have been unable to make the site work. I see numbers where others see products, many of the photo's don't load and the general navigation is not working.

 

I have tried Firefox, IE7, Safari and have not been successful as of yet. I just updated my Java and still no joy.

 

Hopefully someone can help me! As I log into the homepage I see this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a default setup of the osCommerce project, products shown are for demonstrational purposes, any products purchased will not be delivered nor will the customer be billed. Any information seen on these products is to be treated as fictional.

 

Error Messages

 

If there are any error or warning messages shown above, please correct them first before proceeding.

 

Error messages are displayed at the very top of the page with a complete background color.

 

Several checks are performed to ensure a healthy setup of your online store - these checks can be disabled by editing the appropriate parameters at the bottom of the includes/application_top.php file.

Editing Page Texts

 

The text shown here can be modified in the following file, on each language basis:

 

[path to catalog]/includes/languages/english/index.php

 

That file can be edited manually, or via the Administration Tool with the Languages->English->Define or Tools->File Manager modules.

 

The text is set in the following manner:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'This is a default setup of the osCommerce project...');

 

The text highlighted in green may be modified - it is important to keep the define() of the TEXT_MAIN keyword. To remove the text for TEXT_MAIN completely, the following example is used where only two single quote characters exist:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', '');

 

More information concerning the PHP define() function can be read here.

Securing The Administration Tool

 

It is important to secure the Administration Tool as there is currently no security implementation available.

Online Documentation

 

Online documentation can be read at the osCommerce Knowledge Base site.

 

Community support is available at the osCommerce Community Support Forums site.

This is because Wiedeko don't understand how osCommerce works ;)

The site is not ready to be used by the general public.

 

You should contact the company in question by phone if you want to trade with them.

Thanks guys!

 

I tried the link that G Burton posted and that at least gets me to the site properly. I am assuming that it's the language thing that is causing the problems. I will give him a buzz on Monday about it.

 

Many thanks again from cold, rainy Amsterdam.
