Define MainPage

[0racle]

Hope someone can help me.

 

I uploaded the define mainpage add on but when in Admin if I click the link I get a blank page!

 

Any ideas please?

 

Everything else seems ok.

 

Thanks

I have redone this 3 times now with the same problem. Everything is in place except the link from Admin Define mainpage goes to a blank page. The page has been uploaded, I even went and re-downloaded the add on to make sure there were no problems with mine but still it's blank.

 

Please has anyone got any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance

I'm still having problems with this, below is the code for the page. I have checked everything else so there must be an error in here. Please I really need help.

Thanks

This page will be shown on the first page of the catalog

(default.php) instead of the standard message.

 

You can write your php/html straight into this.

This means you can drop in another table on the main

page where you could create (manually) a featured product

or just drop in some nice graphics. I've included a small sample

below using existing box-code/stylesheets so you get the idea.

 

BE AWARE that changes (and possible errors/typo's) are

directly used by the catalog. There is no preview option,

changes are directly 'live'. So be carefull.

 

 

All changed and all fixes have been fixed for current snap shot...

\"Define Mainpage\" module v1.3 by Matthijs ([email protected])

<p>

This module demonstrates how easy it can be to adapt existing code in OSC.<br>

All I had to do was add one single line to define_languages.php (admin) to make

sure it always looks for the mainpage.php file. Obviously I had to then implement it

in the Admin & Catalog side, but that's not a big deal as you've just found out.<p>

You can edit the contents of this file from within the Admin ( -> CATALOG -> DEFINE MAINPAGE)<br>

For other, less advanced layouts choose either German or Spanish from the language menu. (Provided you've installed

those languages)<p>If you can't open/edit the /[language]/mainpage.php file you should probably set the right permissions. You'll get a warning anyway.

<p>Todo? Future plans? World peace through superior fire power... ehmm.. <br>no I mean a preview option ;)<br>

And perhaps make a few templates for the layout...<p>

I'd appreciate an e-mail if you use this, I'm curious...<br>

Later,<br>

Guess the reason this doesn't work is an old add on, teach me to check the dates!
