I love this osCommerce shopping cart. I just can't believe that its free. Woow nice work guys. After a long work, finally I got this site up and running.

It was hard for me cause I am not any programmer or anything. But I guess I am a good instructions follower :lol:

Please check this site out and Ideas and comments would be appriciated.

Site address: www.QChips.com

Thanks a lot.

Why the splash screen? One more more click that may cost you customers?

Who cares what my IP address is? That's a strange thing to add to a shop. :?

Colors are very boring. Grey? Yuck! :(

Kill the languages box. No point in it since you only support one language anyway.

Got that removed :lol:

Got this one too :lol:

That one I can't now, cause that layout of the site was decided by the guys who wons it. :(

Why the splash screen? One more more click that may cost you customers?

This one I am not sure of who I should do. Cause I tried to install the store in the root directory, but couldn't, thats why I had to install it to different folder rather then root directory. Can you give me any ideas how do I work around it. :cry: I would really appriciate it. :lol:

Thanks for your comments. I would love more comments about the site please. :lol:

You could put in a simple meta refresh on the page, I've done a similar thing but strictly I didn't need to..... anyway, here's the HTML you'll probably need.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>

<head>

<title>Untitled Document</title>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<body>

Hi,

Thanks a lot BipolarChucker.

You could put in a simple meta refresh on the page, I've done a similar thing but strictly I didn't need to..... anyway, here's the HTML you'll probably need.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>

<head>

<title>Untitled Document</title>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

</head>

<body>

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;URL=/catalog/default.php">

</body>

</html>

I have one question for that before I go and put that in. Is that gonna be any problem with the search engine to rank the site? And if it does how I would I go around and do this?

Looks like there's a problem with your footer file too.

<!-- footer //-->



<table border="0" width="770" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" align="center">

 <tr class="footer">

   <td class="footer">  Thursday 03 July, 2003  </td>

   <td align="right" class="footer">  4343 requests since Thursday 05 June, 2003  </td>

 </tr>

</table>

<br>

<table border="0" width="770" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">

<tr>

<td align="center" class="smalltext">

</td></tr><a href="allcategories.php"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1" color="#CCCCCC">All Categories </font>

<tr><td align="center" class="smalltext"><br>

</table>





<!-- footer_eof //-->

There's a link <a href="allcategories.php"> that isn't closed. Not only that but the entire link is sitting outside the cell. It should look like this.

<tr>

<td align="center" class="smalltext">

<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1" color="#CCCCCC">

<a href="allcategories.php">All Categories</a></font>

</td>

</tr>

Thanks BipolarChucker. I think I got that fixed, the way you said :)

But I still need help with the other problem :oops:

if u click continue on this page
http://www.qchips.com/catalog/Order_Info.php

u get an error on this page

http://www.qchips.com/catalog/Order_Info_Process.php

Please help me on this one :)

BipolarChucker · July 3, 2003

The only way I can help is if you send me the file and as I mentioned in another forum I'm very much a PHP noob.

The error is giving looks like a problem with a function that hasn't been closed OR that a line of code hasn't been terminated with a proper semicolon. Look on the lines of code slightly above line 681 for termination

If you can't see it, mail the file over to me and I'll have a quick look, this is ONLY a quick look mind you.

BipolarChucker · July 3, 2003

Ifte sent the file to me and it was missing a comma between two values in an array.

This is what it was:

$sql_data_array = array('customers_firstname' => $firstname,



                           'customers_lastname' => $lastname,



                           'customers_email_address' => $email_address,



                           'customers_telephone' => $telephone,



                           'customers_fax' => $fax,



                           'customers_newsletter' => $newsletter,



                           'customers_password' => tep_encrypt_password($password)



                           'customers_default_address_id' => 1);

And this is what I changed it to:

$sql_data_array = array('customers_firstname' => $firstname,



                           'customers_lastname' => $lastname,



                           'customers_email_address' => $email_address,



                           'customers_telephone' => $telephone,



                           'customers_fax' => $fax,



                           'customers_newsletter' => $newsletter,



                           'customers_password' => tep_encrypt_password($password),



                           'customers_default_address_id' => 1);

Hopefully it's sorted.

Thanks a lot BipolarChucker :D .

That solved my problem.

Thank you very much.

ifteba · July 3, 2003

I know I am pushing, but I have another problem. If you could please help me in here. :)

In the store admin when I click on "Update Currencies" it gives me this error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/jufredru/public_html/catalog/admin/includes/functions/general.php:2649) in /home/jufredru/public_html/catalog/admin/includes/functions/general.php on line 37

I would really appriciate it.

Thank you very much.

There is a problem with the images on your site - I noticed they were slow even on cable.

The Cobra 80 is a bitmap of 750,000Kb!! You should be aiming at under 20Kb and image.

The 15" eagle bowie knife is 908,000Kb! Again a bitmap - these images - they are all called 'untitled' too - need to be jpegs. Your site will have serious problems on a dial up connection with these images...

Thanks for your comments Paul B. I searched all over my site and could not find those big image files. Could you be more specific where did you see those pics on the site? I would really appriciate that.

Thanks a lot.

July 3, 2003

Every image on your site seems to be a .bmp bitmap - even your logo at the top - and some of these are massive!

July 4, 2003

Apolgies!

I'm trying Avant Browser and it seems to want save all images in bmp format - hance that large file sizes - and call all image files 'untitled'. In NS I can see you have JPEGs - hope you didn't loos too much sleep...

Now that browser..

No big deal mate. That gave me a littile hard time but hey was worth it cause I reduce all those images more so that connection with fax modem won't take long to load the page. I pretty much reduced to half the size for all the images in the site. But those reduced images I haven't upload yet, I was busy on some other stuff. But I will upload those shortly :)

Thanks Paul B
