Adding links in header in oscommerce 2.3.3

[hoverdave]

I used to use oscommerce and would use an sts template to change or add links in the header or change the arrangement of certain things. I cant seem to figure out how to do that in 2.3.3. Is it possible anymore??

I have found acouple things on the net that say you no longer need STS to add links in 2.3.3. If this is true how

do I do it. Is there a way to enable STS? If so how and where do I do it?? or is there a way to add links with out STS..?

Please help, really having a hard time figuring this out.

 

Thanks,

David

Depends on what you are trying to do... there are links already in the header for cart, etc found here:

 

<?php

tep_draw_button(HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS . ($cart->count_contents() > 0 ? ' (' . $cart->count_contents() . ')' : ''), 'cart', tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART)) .

tep_draw_button(HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT, 'triangle-1-e', tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL')) .

tep_draw_button(HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT, 'person', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL')) .

tep_draw_button(HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF, null, tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'));

?>

</div>

 

You can replace or add on to that or you can code your own like I have in this site broken links - still under construction:

Yes, that is exactly what I want to do..

How did you add the links for example : coffee service / company kitchen/ jelly belly / etc..

 

I used to use an sts module template to do that but it seems they are no longer available.

 

If you code them in how and where do you do it??

If u could copy and paste the code of how you put in the links I have listed in the previous comment and what .php document has to be changed..?

 

thanks'

I purchased a great on line book that could help you that was written by one of the community sponsors on oscommerce (sorry for vagueness but direct commrercial referrals get zapped) but look for Burt). :)

 

Or look into Gergley's header/footer content module add on: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/8165

 

There are other ways to get what you want, you could try googling with key words like add links to headers oscommerce

 

Good luck.

@@altoid - did you mean http://www.oscommerce.com/Services&books&oscbooks :D

 

In general, the new style of layout for 2.3.3 did away with the need for STS.

It takes some time to get used to the new style of layout; 960 grid, but you can

go to 960.gs to learn more and there are lots of 960 tutorials about the www

some of which are specifically oscommerce<>960

Is It possible to change the size of the Logo??

it is, with possible effects upon what happens vertically and horizontally.

 

you can help the height issues in style sheet. here's the pertinent code from one of my sites:

 

#header {
background: #ffffff;
height: 110px;

 

horizontal issues can be trickier to deal with.

 

the document mentioned by @@burt covers this topic very well and once you've digested the material you can have your way with the logo however you wish.

Yes, but you may have to do this
