Guest Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 i am a complete newbie to oscommerce - and have just installed my new template - but the admin doesnt have a password - how to i make this ?? The easiest way is to "password protect" the admin directory via your hosting control panel (such as CPanel). Then read the forum section on security and how to secure your web site. also another thing, i would like to make a slideshow of products on the homepage, and have found this add on http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,3510 - but how to i put in in the homepage ? - is that just the index.php ? This part; <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="385" height="219" id="images_left" align="middle"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> <param name="movie" value="slideshow.swf?id=<?php echo tep_session_id(); ?>" /> <param name="menu" value="false" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="scale" value="noscale" /> <param name="wmode" value="opaque" /> <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /> <embed src="slideshow.swf?id=<?php echo tep_session_id(); ?>" menu="false" quality="high" scale="noscale" wmode="opaque" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="385" height="219" name="images_left" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /> </object> Goes in index.php near the bottom of the page, where exactly will depend on where you want to see it. Take a section such as this; <tr> <td class="main"><?php echo TEXT_MAIN; ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td> </tr> And replace with; <tr> <td class="main"><?php echo TEXT_MAIN; ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td> </tr> <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="385" height="219" id="images_left" align="middle"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> <param name="movie" value="slideshow.swf?id=<?php echo tep_session_id(); ?>" /> <param name="menu" value="false" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="scale" value="noscale" /> <param name="wmode" value="opaque" /> <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /> <embed src="slideshow.swf?id=<?php echo tep_session_id(); ?>" menu="false" quality="high" scale="noscale" wmode="opaque" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="385" height="219" name="images_left" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /> </object> <tr> <td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td> </tr> You need to install the rest of the addon also.
newbie2osc Posted June 21, 2010 Author Posted June 21, 2010 Hi thanks for the reply - i managed to sort out the password problem - now im trying to add the slideshow to my site. I have done like you suggested and added it to my index.php, and also added the pictures to the correct file location, but nothing happens to my site - there is just a white space .... any thoughts ?
