ShopWebMall Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 How can I go about changing the left or right column: 1. To have one table instead of 4-6 single tables Example: instead of: ************* Shopping Cart ************* Best Sellers ************* Review ************* Tell a Friend ************* I would like to put all of these in one table which may look like this: *************** *>Shopping Cart *>Best Sellers *>Review *>Tell a Friend **************** How can I do this which files do I have to edit and how to go about it. I appreciate all your help. Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 First, read the sticky at the beginning of this forum....It is for giving Tips & Tricks.....Not for getting them....I will give you a very quick tip....Check out the docs at: http://wiki.oscommerce.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajeh Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 Tips and Tricks are Tips and Tricks you want to teach us ... not Tips and Tricks you want to learn ... :shock: Topic moved to a more appropriate forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShopWebMall Posted March 30, 2003 Author Share Posted March 30, 2003 I didn't know, I thought I will get feed back on how to go about doing this which will help others TOO in the process am I right or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajeh Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 The forum is for that. Just the Tips and Tricks are not meant for Q & A. Can you expand a bit on what you are trying to accomplish? I am not understanding if you just want to remove the headers of the boxes or what on the columns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShopWebMall Posted March 30, 2003 Author Share Posted March 30, 2003 Hi Linda, I want to have all the information such as: Shopping Cart, Best seller, Review, New products, and what ever else. in One BOX instead off having a box for each one, like the default.

Ajeh Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 You need to expand on One Box. They can still be in seperate boxes but not look it. Do you just want them to touch? Do you just want to lose the colored titles? I cannot visualize what you are trying to do. Like here, I have them all touching but still have the Colored Titles: http://www.thewebmakerscorner.com/freecall/ That is done editing the spacing/padding on the main table ... I think I had to do that on each page btw. I could just change the stylesheet and the titles would be the same as the insides of the boxes and it would look like one continuos column.

delaen Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 I think I know what you're talking about. Do mean to do something like what I have on my site? http://www.badmouthmovies.com All of the left hand column is in one box. It is fairly easy to do if you have a program to search and replace a phrase in every file in a directory.[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delaen Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 It's been so long since I did this and glancing at it I'm not exactly sure how I did. :oops: I do know that the code for my column_left looks like this: <!-- body //--> <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" valign="top" class="leftcolumn"><table border="0" width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <!-- left_navigation //--> <?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'column_left.php'); ?> <!-- left_navigation_eof //--> </table></td> Rather than: <!-- body //--> <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td width="<? echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" valign="top"><table border="0" width="<? echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> <!-- left_navigation //--> <? $include_file = DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'column_left.php'; include(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'include_once.php'); ?> <!-- left_navigation_eof //--> </table></td> </tr> </table></td> I've been up for too many hours to tell you exactly what I did, but it looks like I just got rid of a table in there somewhere. I also made a "leftcolumn" entry in my CSS file that I had put a border around the whole thing. I do remember having to change this bit of code in every file though.

ShopWebMall Posted April 1, 2003 Author Share Posted April 1, 2003 Linda and Bob Thanks for your help: I like what Bob did on his website, though my idea was little bit different: somthing like what's on this website: http://www.gifts.com/ Table which has the category pic inside of it: If you have other good ideas please let me know, Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajeh Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Kim has the box you need for the Categories/Search Box should she feel so inclined to share ... Then add the Category Tabs ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Huh? What? I heard my name mentioned.... The Custom Quick Search in the Category box is posted in the contributions.....I think I out it in the infoBox section..... :D As far as the looks of the left Column at Gifts.com......That should be fairly easy to accomplish with the stylesheet.......

Ajeh Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 I thought you had posted that one, I just couldn't recall was that on the Did It List ... or the To Do List ... :D Half the battle is over then. Toss that box in column_left.php ... Add Category Tabs with Sub Tabs ... Kill off column_right.php ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
