♥kymation Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 The error message says that includes/functions/modules/front_page/featured.php is missing. Is that true?

dunnyuk Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 in the download ive got there is no includes/functions/modules. there is admin/includes/functions/modules/front_page/featured.php here is what ive got - www.southportwebdesign.org/modular_front_page_1.2.6.tar.gz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 That's correct, that file is used only on the Admin side. If your store is looking for it on the catalog side, you have something wrong with your osCommerce code, probably one or more incorrect entries in your configure.php. Try this guide to figure out what is wrong. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunnyuk Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 checked both configure.phps - both fine. hmnn very strange. this is a clean install except for some css changes and some html added to the bottom of the header.php. help lol...

♥kymation Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Your installation is clearly looking for the file in the wrong place. You could try putting a copy of the file in the catalog-side directory to get it to shut up. However, if this is really a problem with the configuration, you are going to have a lot more problems than just this.

jgribbon Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Resize category images? I have a really frustrating problem. I want to be able to display bigger images in the category images module. The manual says in Appendix A.2 that I can change this in catalog/ext/modules/categories_images/stylesheet.css. I did this, doubling the imagebox width and height settings on lines 15 and 16.... no impact.... still tiny images. So I had a look at the actual index.php file and changed the SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_WIDTH, SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_HEIGHT to hard coded values (as I couldn't work out where the parameter value are picked up from.... no impact again. I had a look at the page source after loading it in Firefox and can see the image sizes are width="100" height="80". They're ALWAYS 100x80 no matter what I do to change them in the stylesheet or the html!! So what am I missing here? Where are these sizes likely to be defined and how do I change them? Thanks in advance Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgribbon Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Answered my own question... party anyway. The 100x80 comes from the small image width and height setting in the basic osCommerce configuration panel. So now I've got nice big images. But what's the meaning then of the values in catalog/ext/modules/categories_images/stylesheet.css, as they seem to have no effect on the displayed image size?

♥kymation Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 The stylesheet controls the size of the category box, of which the image is a part. Setting that box smaller than the image may cause some strange effects. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

jgribbon Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Okay. Think I've got it now. The stylesheet effectively defines the maximum size of the image as it defines the size of the container. But you also have to set the small image width and height via the config panel, otherwise you just end up with a tiny image in a big box, which I guess is what was happening. Still don't know why hardcoding the values into index.php didn't work. But hey-ho, that's not good practice anyway so I'll let it drop.

purnic Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hi there! Thanx so much Jim for developping this add-on. But.....

purnic Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 And... another thing: I only got the banner rotator, when I downloaded the package, but you were talking about different modules, weren't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlDavidRobinson Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hopefully this will just be a quicky! the scroller is a couple pixels to wide to look right when i put a background & border to the ContentContainter what is the easiest way to make these the same width? change the width of the contentContainer somehow or is the scroller able to have its width change, if so where would i find the values controlling the width of the scroller. Open to suggestions if theres a better way to solve this problem, so you can see what i mean the test site is www.hughes-meats.com/2011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Look in catalog/includes/modules/front_page/scroller.php: $header .= '#scroller {' . "\n"; $header .= ' width: 610px;' .

CarlDavidRobinson Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Hey i was editing the "main text" box and after i saved it stopped allowing me to edit the text anymore, it keeps throwing me this error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/hugh3781/public_html/admin/modules.php(232) : eval()'d code on line 4 the only things i did differently whilst editing the text before was add a bold tag and a h2 tag and probably a few br tags, i've attached two screenshots if they help thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 This happens if you use a single quote/apostrophe without escaping it. Edit your database configuration table and place a backslash \ in front of every single quote. Or just delete the entry and edit it again in the admin. The entry should be near the end of the table.

CarlDavidRobinson Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) Hi jim thanks for your reply, im having trouble finding the db configuration table your talking about? do you mean go into the db through phpmyadmin and change the values there? because if thats the case i think i've located the configuration table but i can't see anything relating to the front page main text? Thanks again EDIT : ok that was me being a major n00b, i found where i was going wrong, thank you for your more then adequate explaination!

♥kymation Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 Yes, that's correct. The data will be in the configuration_value field, next to a configuration_key of MODULE_FRONT_PAGE_TEXT_MAIN_ENGLISH (Unless you are using a different language). You can use the Search tab and paste that key in to find it. Regards Jim CarlDavidRobinson 1 Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

SnatchTease Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 How would I go about inserting the Manufacturer's Name (which we use to list product/book authors) between the Product Name and the Price in the modules (featured, specials, etc...)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 You can get the manufacturers_id from the products table. The SQL that is already in the modules is retrieving data from that table, so it's just a matter of adding to the list of fields that it is retrieving. Then you can use that value to retrieve the manufacturers_name from the manufacturers table. Or you could use a left join to join the tables and get the name in one step.

SnatchTease Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Sorry, I must admit that I am limited in my PHP usage. Jim, I believe I've been on track towards the later. I know that the changes need to be made to the php files under catalog/includes/modules/front_page/ (anywhere else?). Currently I'm testing featured.php, and tried modifying the following.... featured.php, around line 98: ------------------------------------- $featured__content .= '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $featured_products['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $featured_products['products_image'], $featured_products['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a><br /><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $featured_products['products_id']) . '">' . $featured_products['products_name'] . '</a><br />' . $featured_products['manufacturers_name'] . '</a><br />' . $manufacturers_name . '</a><br />' .$products_price; ---------------------------- So, of course those calls to manufacturers_name I tried didn't work, <br />'s worked like a charm though, so I have been eyeballing above lines... featured.php, around line 60 ------------------------------------ select p.products_id, pd.products_name, p.products_price, p.products_tax_class_id, p.products_image, s.specials_new_products_price, s.status from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p join " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd on pd.products_id = p.products_id left join " . TABLE_SPECIALS . " s on s.products_id = p.products_id where p.products_id = '" . $products_id . "' and pd.language_id = '" . ( int ) $languages_id . "' "; ---------------------------------------- From what you posted, Jim, looks like I'm headed in the right direction. So to pull of the left join, do I just have to add 'm.manufacturers_name' under 'select' and then add the following... left join " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " m on m.products_id = p.products_id ...under 'from'? Then I can make the call for manufacturers_name? Update: Nope, tried, returns the following on storefront: -------------------------------------------------- 1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '.manufacturers_name from pro' at line 9 select p.products_id, pd.products_name, p.products_price, p.products_tax_class_id, p.products_image, s.specials_new_products_price, s.status m.manufacturers_name from products p join products_description pd on pd.products_id = p.products_id left join specials s on s.products_id = p.products_id left join manufacturers m on m.products_id = p.products_id where p.products_id = '5' and pd.language_id = '1' [TEP STOP] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 left join " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " m on m.manufacturers_id = p.manufacturers_id That should do it.
