osCommerce

The e-commerce.

Typical "How to" questions


Recommended Posts

(Should this be somewhere else ?)

I am now trying to install 4.12 on a Windows machine with Apache 2.4 and PHP 8.1
It is hanging at step 2, unpacking.
Doesn't fail the page, just sits there with the spinner going.

I have found many posts on this subject but all from nearly 20 years ago!

Can anyone help me with 2023 issues ?

I have read https://www.oscommerce.com/wiki/index.php?title=Installing_osCommerce_v.4.0

It may be that the cause is Windows Zip Is Rubbish.

Tests:
I unzipped the app files zip on local linux, it took seconds.
I used jar-xf on my local windows box and it took ~5 minutes to unpack.

The Extract Files on the remote windows box is still going, it's been ages!! At 42% and claims 55 minutes to go !

How to...
so how to mamually edit the html for the themse? the built in theme editor needs a lot of work from what I can see - have messed about with it for close on a week now and have yet to manage to edit any part of a theme (built in one 7 a blank created test theme)...
On the older 2.3 versions you could just edit the template html/css directly and publish ..  so where is the html hidden? has to be somewhere ...
and what on earth happened to the old forums? All the old plugins? has something like nearly 15+ years worth of resources just been wiped? can't find an archice anywhere even ?

liking the idea of the new system and still poking about but without a definitive - this is how to do xxx which I could literally find an answer to on the old forums in minutes without even having to ask a question i'm sadly going to have to look to another solution...that would be a shame as i've used oscommerce now for a good few years...

Hi Chiara,

There is no standard way to do it. It is necessary to edit styles and to write down something like:

.phone:before {
  content: '\f095';
  font-family: FontAwesome;
}
 
If you PM me with the login details to the admin area of your website we should be able to do it for you.
 
Best regards,
 
Ivan

This may not answer your question but those are unicode values for font-awesome icons.  You can look at the class that has the code and change it to a new one found on the font-awesome site. The mentioned code is for a phone icon.
