Getting Option Types 2.3.1 to work with v2.3.3

HowardR · March 22, 2013

I just set up my v2.3.3 store, and I very much appreciate the help that I found on this forum. I am posting this in hopes of giving something back.

My store requires that customers enter lots of text inputs, so I had to install the May 19 2012 version of the Option Types 2.3.1 add-on. This add-on is great, but it's not yet fully adapted for OSCommerce 2.3.3. Hopefully, an update will be posted soon.

In the meantime, I would like to share how I got the display to work in product_info.php. The instructions which came with the addon appeared to be designed for the table layout of OSCommerce v2.2 not the divs layout of v.2.3. I spent hours, but I finally got it to look right in my store. There may still be some bugs -- I am not using everything that Option Types can do. But it appears to work fine in my store.

In order to get the appearance right, I had to change the key file which came with the addon: catalog/includes/modules/option_types.php by adding in a <p><table> command proceeding each <tr> command and a </table> command following each </tr> command:

</tr></table> <?php

But my main difficulties were with updating the product_info.php file. Attached you will find my working version.

I hope this saves someone else a few hours.

I wish I had clicked on "history" for Option Types 2.3.1 before I did all my work! Apparently, security_man did the same work that I did, and probably did it better. Then he posted a download under "history" right under the Option Types 2.3.1 addon page! I never even thought to click on that link.

The lesson I just learned is that you should carefully read *all* of the tabs on the add-ons page before you install that add-on!

You can find security_man's download if you go to the following URL:

Actually, I'm not sure what security_man posted. He says: " I had to compare several files to the original option types contrib by zappo (which i have uploaded here because i cannot find it anywhere online)."

So, actually, he may have simply posted the "original option types" contrib by zappo, not his fixes.

Hi Howard ,

Yeah it is not really very clear had a look yesterday again.

Part of the install text refers to older versions of osc the most important thing is the

/includes/classes/shopping_cart.php

I had to use the older version from zappo

So basically DunWeb

http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/8193

is great work it is a complicated add on it still needs a bit of tweaking but the information is there on the forums to get it to work

Hi Howard

Hi Joli

I am not having much luck with this - done lots of reading but for a novice, all not so clear. Perhaps a few words from you, or other experienced users may help me out!

I am wanting to create a site, brand new, that is

1. easy to create multi-lingual site and 2. customers must be able to input data/text etc. Hence interest in osc 2.3.3.

Starting with the language - have tested the installation and have no problems to create the second language (German).

Tried to then overlay the Options Type v2.3.1 - no luck. Figured, do one test at a time - leave the second language aside.

Back to a clean osc 2.3.3

I have performed the following steps (variations the original DunWEb as well as the 19 May 20012 versions):

1. delete existing db

2. install osc 2.3.3 (able to access both the Admin Tool and see the website catalog online)

3. run Optins Types2 sql file into db (able to access both the Admin Tool and see the Option Types menu and see the website catalog online)

4. drop all the files and create the folders from the Add-on

and then...now what happens........no access to either Admin Tool and no longer able to access the website catalog online.

Any ideas what I have done wrong or what I am not understanding?

Thanks,

K

PS: never posted before - hope this is OK!

Is this new download all fixed for v2.3.3???

gcextreme · June 6, 2013

It must not be...i just installed it...it doesnt work, and my site wouldnt load....thank god i backed everything up.

Not sure what's up, but the install text on the Options Type install isn't formatted correctly. It has a bunch of slashes all through the instructions which makes it impossible to make anything of.

The file I'm struggling with updating is includes/application_top.php.

I'm currently running OSC 2.3.3.

Does anyone have a successfully modified file, or instructions on modifying it?

Thanks,

♥joli1811 · May 15, 2014

Yes I have a new file for 2.3.3.4 set that works and a nearly finished install text.

I need a few beta testers as there have been a few modification made to the original code and a lot of changes made as regards styling

PM me for a file link I do not want to upload to the addons area until completely finished and well tested

simply reason being the old 2.3 .... one was such a mess and had a lot of bugs

If your shop is new simply drop the files on top if you have modified the shop

you will have to check again all files or do a compare with something like win merge

Hi Joli.

I know this is an old thread but do you still have the working 2.3.3 file available for this mod.

I am trying to install it on a 2.3.4 store, and have been using the Dunweb version from 2012. Quite pleased that I have got the product_info file working so a customer can add text on the product page but cannot seem to get the text sent through to the shopping cart when a customer puts an item with text in to their cart.

Hope you can help.

Andy
