A few questions about OSCOMMERCE 2.2MS1

[Guest]

I've currently installed oscommerce 2.2ms1, and may i say it's very nice!

I do have a few quetions.

 

1. In admin section it says graphs directory not writable. I'd like to add some banners and it seems I cannot.

 

2. Is there anyway to add multiple product images in MS1?

 

3. Can make a bulleted list in the description section of the product? It lists without a format now end to end.

 

If anyone can help me with these or let me know what I need to do or where to go I'd be eternally grateful LOL.

Thank you

1. Either chown the directory to "nobody" or chmod it to 777.

 

2. You need a contribution.

 

3. Use HTML within your description.

2. Look in the contribs section, this might be a good start:

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...ions,614/page,2

 

3. You can use HTML in there. Here is sample code to make a list:

 

<ul>

  <li>item 1

  <li>item 2

  <li>item 3

</ul>

Try and make it chmod 777 and then if that works reduce the permission until the error comes back then you'll know what will work.

 

2. Is there anyway to add multiple product images in MS1?

 

Yes, the contrib it is called MO-PICS.

This one I can't answer, the product entry isn't set up to accept HTML, and I don't know if there is any contribs available

You need to change the write permissions to that directory. There are detailed instructions available at OSCdox.

 

2. Is there anyway to add multiple product images in MS1?

There are contributions for this, if you mean small/medium/large versions of the same image. I'm not sure of any multiple images per product that are available, although you could use the small/medium/large contribution to just build different shots at the same size of the same image.

 

 

3. Can make a bulleted list in the description section of the product? It lists without a format now end to end.

 

Use standard HTML <ul><li></li></ul> tags in the description field.
