Define Main Page Contribution

[Guest]

I installed the "define mainpage mod and now I get this error

 

 

Warning: Failed opening 'includes/languages/english/FILENAME_DEFINE_MAINPAGE' for inclusion (include_path='') in /home/cellar/public_html/catalog/index.php on line 313

 

Can anyone help me?

This may sound stupid, but, did you double check to make sure everything is installed and proper changes have been made??? I just installed it yesterday and now it works fine. You do need to be careful when editting the text...

Installation instructions Error:

 

**CATALOG STEP 2 --> DEFINE catalog/includes/filenames.php:

 

// define_mainpage

define('FILENAME_MAINPAGE', 'define_mainpage.php');

// define_mainpage_eof

 

REPLACE WITH:

 

// define_mainpage

define('FILENAME_DEFINE_MAINPAGE', 'define_mainpage.php');

// define_mainpage_eof

Thanks MaxiDVD, that was the problem :D

[Guest]

actually that fixed the problem on the catalog end but in the admin im getting this message: Parse error: parse error in /home/cellar/public_html/catalog/admin/includes/boxes/catalog.php on line 40

[Guest]

yeah, you missed the bracket in the file,

 

Check admin/includes/boxes/catalog.php

 

or replace yours with this

ok, that fixed the error in the admin, but when I click on the "define mainpage" link I get a "Page cannot be found"

[Guest]

Make sure you have uploaded the file named define_mainpage.php to the admin folder,

 

Sounds like its not there..

"Page cannot be found"

 

Cheers Lee :lol:

[Guest]

It's there I double checked

[Guest]

Next would be to check file permissions. It would need to be world readable.

 

Good luck,

Matt

[Guest]

checked that too and the permissions are set fine?

[Guest]

Checked permissions and they are fine.

I'm still trying to get this to work. I see the auther updated it in the contribution section of this site but the download zip file is empty.

 

My problem is still in the admin the "mainpage link" goes t oa page cannot be found. The actual link points to a FILENAME_DEFINE_MAINPAGE

 

When go directly to the define_mainpage.html in the browser I get a screen that has an error that says TEXT_FILE_DOES_NOT_EXIST

 

if anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it

[Guest]

The actual link points to a FILENAME_DEFINE_MAINPAGE

you need to do this:

 

**ADMIN

===============================================

ADD this line

 

define('FILENAME_DEFINE_MAINPAGE', 'define_mainpage.php'); // DEFINE MAINPAGE

 

TEXT_FILE_DOES_NOT_EXIST

You also need to do this:

 

**CATALOG ===============================================

Must SET Full Read Write RWRWRW 777 Permission on this file!!

===============================================

 

catalog/includes/language/(YOUR_LANGUAGE_FOLDER)/define_mainpage.php

 

This information is from the instructions file

[Guest]

Thanks for the help. I just went ahead and downloaded the new version and reinstalled it and now everything works fine. Thanks again for taking the time :D

[Guest]

Well I thought I had it. Everything works now in the admin. It even lets me change and save in the admin but when I save and go to the catalog end it reads this error on the homepage Parse error: parse error in /home/cellar/public_html/catalog/includes/languages/english/define_mainpage.php on line 27

 

 

any suggestions?

[Guest]

Open the define mainpage via admin, you need to get rid of "

 

$mainpage_title = "We've just installed the" module!";

$mainpage_info = "

" module v1.3 by Matthijs (mattice@xs4all.nl)

<p>

This module demonstrates how easy it can be to adapt existing code in OSC.<br>

All I had to do was add one single line to define_languages.php (admin) to make

sure it always looks for the mainpage.php file. Obviously I had to then implement it

in the Admin & Catalog side, but that's not a big deal as you've just found out.<p>

You can edit the contents of this file from within the Admin ( -> CATALOG -> DEFINE MAINPAGE)<br>

For other, less advanced layouts choose either German or Spanish from the language menu. (Provided you've installed

those languages)<p>If you can't open/edit the /[language]/mainpage.php file you should probably set the right permissions. You'll get a warning anyway.

<p>Todo? Future plans? World peace through superior fire power... ehmm.. <br>no I mean a preview option ;)<br>

And perhaps make a few templates for the layout...<p>

I'd appreciate an e-mail if you use this, I'm curious...<br>

Later,<br>

Something to do with the oscommerce stripslashes function, will look at it later.

 

If you remove the double quotes " completely the error will disapear.

What is the link to the new version of the contrib?

[MattMallory 0]

I take it there is no new fixed version & the buggy version is still up there?
