Mort-lemur Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 CKEditor was the next mod to install: CKEditor, Link: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7650 Install was easy, however - I want the ability to choose which text boxes the editor appears on so it needed some changes as follows: Fully install the mod with the exception to the changes to catalog/admin/includes/template_top.php - instead, use the code below: <!-- BOF CKEditor by escri2 --> <?php if (USE_CKEDITOR_ADMIN_TEXTAREA == "true") { ?> <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo tep_href_link('ext/ckeditor/ckeditor.js'); ?>"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo tep_href_link('ext/ckeditor/adapters/jquery.js'); ?>"></script> <?php } ?> <!-- EOF CKEditor by escri2 --> 2. Then in the tep_draw_textarea_field add the 'class="ckeditor"' as the 6th parameter, so for example to include ckeditor in the product description entry open admin/categories.php and change: <td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_textarea_field('products_description[' . $languages[$i]['id'] . ']', 'soft', '70', '15', (empty($pInfo->products_id) ? '' : tep_get_products_description($pInfo->products_id, $languages[$i]['id']))); ?></td> To <td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_textarea_field('products_description[' . $languages[$i]['id'] . ']', 'soft', '70', '15', (empty($pInfo->products_id) ? '' : tep_get_products_description($pInfo->products_id, $languages[$i]['id'])), 'class="ckeditor"'); ?></td> This took a bit of working out and a lot of trial and error....

Mort-lemur Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 This is probably my most essential admin mod - other than payment modules :) Gives a searchable screen showing orders at the status you can select, or by name, it also shows what items were ordered etc - Invaluable and I use it all day.. Orderlist, Link: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/8329 Easy install, only change needed is in admin/orderlist.php Change: $records = mysql_num_rows($result); to $records = tep_db_num_rows($result); Code change thanks to Burt (Gary) from his forum post If the fields give too much data for your needs comment out the individual echo fields you dont require between lines 392 and 420 of admin/orderlist.php Now running on a fully modded, Mobile Friendly 2.3.4 Store with the Excellent MTS installed - See my profile for the mods installed .....

Paul_w Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I've just recently installed v2.3.3.4 too, so thank you very much for this very useful and informative thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort-lemur Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 Had most of the day off - had visitors, but back to the update now....Again two of my "Essential to Have" admin modifications. These two modifications allow you to create a new customer from the admin panel, or add or edit an order for an existing customer. I use this facility several times a day and it is invaluable for taking telephone orders without having to something as basic as logging in as the user - everything is done easily via admin. Do the mods in the following order: Order Editor, Link: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7844/v,23 went without a hitch and works fine. Create Account & Manual Order Maker, Link: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/8334 - again an easy install and works as it should. Backup again...........

Mort-lemur Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 Time for some light relief... set up some of the simple payment methods Installed Check/Moneyorder module from admin page - changes made to the associated language file to change "check/moneyorder" to the english version of "cheque" - set sort order as high as this is my least preferred payment method. Paypal Standard payment module - again easy install via admin - will fill in the details later + add security key etc. Cash on Delivery - I dont offer CoD but do offer Cash on Collection - so a simple change to the CoD Language file.

Mort-lemur Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 Last of the Easy Payment modules I use: Telephone with card payment - Lets the customer raise the order on your store then phone to make payment - some customers have an aversion to paying online and prefer to call you. Link: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/8344 Again an easy install, just 2 files then install and configure via admin.

Mort-lemur Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 Ok my final payment module - Barclays EPDQ CPI Link: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/4357 - Install as easy as any other module. Note: Although it installs and shows as it should on the site at present I have no Idea if it functions correctly as It cannot be used "Live" until the shop is calling from its correct domain - similar with the callback routine. This is the EPDQ module I use on my 2.2 stores - It works for me - it may not work for you, and it is still unproven by me on 2.3.3.4. Fingers Crossed.... Time to backup.......

Mort-lemur Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 OK Kiss Image Thumbnailer does work - It was a problem on my side as follows: I had the permissions of catalog/includes/configure.php set to 444 which was preventing filezilla writing the modified file back to the server, and I didnt notice the failed transfer! Sorted this out and now it works..... Something to watch for - Ill leave it at 644 until I have finished modding....

♥14steve14 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Heather. Well done for documenting your new setup. So far it makes great reading. I wish you well. REMEMBER BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort-lemur Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Heather. Well done for documenting your new setup. So far it makes great reading. I wish you well. Thanks Steve, There is method in my madness though - If I document everything as I do it on here - I then have a good reference if anything goes wrong (and Im sure it will) - and I can look back on it in the future if I need to. Currently removing the admin horizontal menu bar I added in one of the posts above and replacing it with nice 2.3 style buttons, and changed the plain text "Remove from Cart" link with a 2.3 style button - Thanks to a post on Multimixers Blog - Thanks George Only a few admin mods to do now before I start on the look of the new shop. To make the eventual database migration a little easier I have already imported the geozones (counties and Countries) and order statuses I use from one of my existing stores - went quite painlessly. Building myself up now to installing option types V2 - which if I remember right is quite a big install - made more complicated in the fact that the 2.3.x version has had some bad press - Guess Ill just have to make a backup and go for it. Then I will have to make a final decision on which way to go with SEO mods - Header tags and URL rewriting.......

♥joli1811 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hi Heather, remember the include/classes/shopping_cart.php in the option types that is where most of the problems were. PS: chemo urls works on a 2.3.3.4 even though the file does mention mysql_ in the include /classes/seo.class.php Personally had a problem with the file disappearing on my server but think 99% this was due to a false positive in a server virus scan .
