[contribution] Simple Template System (sts)

Recommended Posts

How do I edit the content in the index? As in the first page that load up? I want to change it quite a bit but do not know how. :(

 

 

200 , what do you want to change in the content? do you mean products and so forth? if so you will use the admin panel for that, if it is style you want to add then you will use the catalog/stylesheet.

Hi,

 

I just installed STS, but when I go to the Admin>Module>STS and I want to set the Default Template: Use Templates? to true, nothing happens.

It justs stays on false?? How can I fix this?

 

Thanks!

 

 

hey es17, take a look at this thread i think it might fix your problem

brief update...

 

I am now getting very close to linking sts template to external files so that the template can be shared by new files, it will hopefully read the content of previously written files with only minor adjustments/additions to those files. finders crossed, and hopefully not to many more walls will crumble from the incessant headbanging ;o).

I posted this in the header tags controller forum, and they sent me here. I installed header tags controller using the STS power pack contrib, and everything seems to be working accept the admin section, where I get this message:

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tep_href_link() in /home/content/s/p/e/specterstudios/html/store/catalog/admin/includes/boxes/header_tags_controller.php on line 21

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Joey, did you follow all of the suggestions that I mentioned to you back in the header tags forum?

You may have misplaced one of the header_tags.php files and put it in a wrong folder. Double check your installation. You can follow my Step by Step guide on How to install HTC with STS (link is in my signature below).

I've been unable to find the answer to this. When I use the search feature, I get this error on the advanced search results page:

1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'distinct p.products_id) as total from products p left join manufacturers m usin' at line 1

select count(distinct p.products_id) as total from products p left join manufacturers m using(manufacturers_id), products_description pd left join specials s on p.products_id = s.products_id, categories c, products_to_categories p2c where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '1' and p.products_id = p2c.products_id and p2c.categories_id = c.categories_id and ((pd.products_name like '%dress%' or p.products_model like '%dress%' or m.manufacturers_name like '%dress%') )

[TEP STOP]

 

Has anyone else had this problem when using STS?

 

Thanks

Debbie, this is not a problem with STS but rather something in your script or the database itself.

Your host may have upgraded MySQL and that could be causing your problem.

Thanks for your reply. We haven't upgraded mySQL. I tried the fix they recommend in the thread, but nothing changed.

I just set up a new store using STS. I am having a problem with my product info template. I have my Click to Enlarge link set up like this:

 

<a href = "java script:popupWindow('http://bellagemmadesigns.com/catalog/popup_image.php?pID=$productid')">Click 
					  to Enlarge</a>

 

However, when the template is parsed, the variable $productid isn't being processed. I have an older store that works with this syntax. Did something change with the newest build of OSC?

 

Thanks for any help.

I am trying to change the style of the boxes. I don't know any codes, I want to get the corners rounded.

Peter, the stylesheet will need to be edited. In osCommerce, the rounded corners are actually images.

Sucess at last, I have sts templates working for files outside of the catalog folder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I am attempting to bundle it together with the mega power pack {register globals, sts, htc, dynamenu and stsnewpages} but now have a sticking point on dynamenu working externally. just one character change makes it work but breaks the links to images and href links.

 

give me a shout if your interested in external sts templated pages. and if you want to know why you may want to use this addition, PM me and if requests are good i'll do a write up here.

 

the bundle pack will be along shortly...

Hi Rafael

 

I am slightly confused as to why you are going into column_left /right etc to hide boxes etc. there is no need to do this that i can see.

 

your template file is located in:

catalog/includes/sts_templates/full(or test)/

and is called:

sts_template.html // the main one used for all pages if in default mode or

index.php.html // for index if you set this through admin

content/product_info.php_XX.html // for individual product pages content layout, XX is a number relating to the product, i dont know how yet.

and box templates in the boxes folder.

 

all is explained through the sts help manuals and some more tips can be found under the sts power pack contribution window:

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,4456/

 

to remove any box or content just delete from the template the variable name like $content, $breadcrumbs $newpage | $myaccountlogoff | $cartcontents | $checkout $catmenu$categorybox$manufacturerbox$whatsnewbox$specialbox$searchbox$informationbox

etc.

sts_external_pages_templates is packed and ready for your critissismsss as well as my spelling ;o)

 

what a slog! my fingers are sore.

 

i havent made a straight forward copy over contrib but have expained as much as possible and provided the files etc in respective folders. some files are prefixed with 'updated --- ' so as to not copy over your files but you must must must must must! read the pdf first. not too long at 4/5 pages.

 

my first hack has been a hugely enjoyable one, from first head scratching through butting head against various hardnesses of walls etc to having no fingernails. the idea has finally come to fruit, hope you like it.

 

i will soon add it into a mega-mega-mega bundle but im sure you can play withit yourselves and see what comes off it.

I have a fresh install of osCommerce 2.2 ms2 and the newest version of STS 4.5.2 installed. I followed the instructions just as it said. I went into the STS module settings for "Default" and tried to set Use Templates? to true, and it would not let me. It stayed on False. The Index was stuck on True though.

I used the index.php?sts_debug=debug and it said "This is the default template" and all of the information came up to say the template was working.

 

I went back to the STS module and realized that it would not let me change anything for STS settings!

Terry,

This is not a STS problem but rather a bug in the latest release of osC.

Here is the fix:
