[contribution] Simple Template System (sts)


DiamondSea

Recommended Posts

I seem to have something recursive in my STS installation, but I can't find it.

 

When I turn on STS templates, I get the following message which goes away as soon as I turn it off again.

 

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare clean_html_comments() (previously declared in /............/catalog/includes/functions/clean_html_comments.php:13) in /............/catalog/includes/functions/clean_html_comments.php on line 13

 

Could someone give me a clue as to what I did?

 

Thank you

Just between us, remember there are only 10 kinds of people in the world; those who understand binary and those who don't!!

 

Remember, learning is a "do-it-yourself" experience; although, not necessarily a "do-it-BY-yourself" experience.

 

The quickest way to learn is to forget to BACKUP!

Hi Guys, I'm new to all this but finding my feet slowly but surely. Basically I've taken over the running of an MP3 Download store and we're looking to redesign it.

 

the address is www.vcmp3.com

 

Perhaps any experts out there could breakdown how that particular design may have been constructed?

 

Right, firstly, is it possible to make a new version of this site using STS - and then once everything is sorted design-wise, Simply import the exisiting customer / product database to the new design?

 

Secondly, When playing around with the sts_template.html page, i couldn't quite follow the instructions.

 

Say if I built an html page (similar to the original osCommerce look) and wanted the categories box in the same place, What code would I place in the table cell in dreamweaver?

 

As im more of a designer, when it comes to more complicated HTML / PHP, i am struggling. Ideally i'm looking to be able to design the html template inclusive of all graphics, and then simple place the placeholders where the certain boxes need to be. I reckon however that's wishful thinking.

 

I appreciate thats a lot of text, so any help will be most appreciated, and if anyone wants any help in Photoshop, then feel free to ask.

 

Best regards,

Luke

 

P.S - apologies to originall posting this is the wrong location.

First, I want to thank Bill and all those who have contributed to STS. I love it.

 

I could use some help with a minor issue that I cannot seem to figure out.

 

I have the site hosted at 1and1 and I have found and applied the "change 'on' to '1' fix" for SSL and 1and1 web hosting.

 

Tonight I updated to STS v4.5.8 and I'm running RC1 to see if that would resolve the issue.

 

When I am using SSL without STS enabled all is fine. As soon as I enable STS I start getting the "This Page Contains both Secure and Nonsecure Items" warning message. If I tell it to display the nonsecure items I get the page displayed correctly. If I tell it to only display the secure items, non of the graphics show up, including the background image.

 

The entire site is ran on .html.php replacement pages/templates.

 

Has anyone else seen this?

 

The only other module I have installed is PayPal.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

-Jim

Jim,

Not caused by STS, but rather this is most likely due to how your image links have been created in your templates. You should use relative links not absolute links such as http://blah.com/images/blah.gif, make them like /images/blah.gif

Bill,

 

Thanks for the quick reply. I have been through my main template and cannot seem to find an issue that would make all images disappear when IE is told not to disply nonsecure items. Maybe I can get another opinion on my template. Here is the code:

I want to try out STS. But I have made many changes to the OSCommerce Online Merchant with CSS. Will installing STS change everything? Or I replace everything except the CSS file?

 

Pls reply. Thanks.

STS allows you to use the default CSS file or as many CSS files that you want.

Jim,

I did not go to your site but the code that you posted shows that you are using some type of image loader that could be causing your problems. Also, you links seemed cryptic so I was not able to tell if they were absolute or relative. Sorry.

Luke, STS does exactly what you are hoping it would.

 

First off, the link shows a design that is fairly simple and can be (or was) done using STS. The infoboxes appear to be using a header graphic and the rest is placed in a cell with a gray background color. Dead simple.

 

If the site is not already a STS template, then you would want to read through the following link on how to convert a purchased osCommerce template into a STS template:

I seem to have something recursive in my STS installation, but I can't find it.

 

When I turn on STS templates, I get the following message which goes away as soon as I turn it off again.

 

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare clean_html_comments() (previously declared in /............/catalog/includes/functions/clean_html_comments.php:13) in /............/catalog/includes/functions/clean_html_comments.php on line 13

Thank you

Hello Ralph,

Do you have Header Tags Controller installed as well?

Be sure you have the following line of code at the beginning of your includes/header_tags.php file:

 

require_once(DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS . 'clean_html_comments.php');

 

Hope this helped,

Bill Kellum

Bill, thanks for the reply.

 

To verify all was working as planned here is what I did...

 

First, I changed my templates to the Full set that you provided and proceeded to test the site.

 

All was working fine.

 

Second step was to dig even deeper into the code to figure out what was the cuplrit.

 

This is what I found...

 

1. Somehow this code ended up in my template. in the Head Section.

 

<base href="http://www.torostam.com/">

 

I changed this to:

 

<base href="https://www.torostam.com/">

 

If anyone can tell me what this code is used for, that would be great.

 

This fix allowed almost all of the images to show up.

 

2. I had to change this code for Flash from:

 

   <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="500" height="142">
   <param name="movie" value="../../../flash/male-enhancement-banner.swf">
   <param name="quality" value="high">
   <embed src="../../../flash/male-enhancement-banner.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="142"></embed>
  </object> 

 

to:

 

   <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="500" height="142">
   <param name="movie" value="../../../flash/male-enhancement-banner.swf">
   <param name="quality" value="high">
   <embed src="../../../flash/male-enhancement-banner.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="142"></embed>
  </object> 

 

Allowing Flash to call the HTTPS:// site for the plugins.

 

This allowed the flash items on the pages to work.

 

3. I had to change this code for Google Analytics:

 

From:

 

<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-1589139-2";
urchinTracker();
</script>

 

To:

 

<script src="https://ssl.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-1589139-2";
urchinTracker();
</script>

 

I hope this helps anyone else that may be having issues.

 

Also If you are hosting on 1and1.com you do have to make this final change:

 

in Catalog/includes/application_top.php around line 42 Find:

 

// set the type of request (secure or not)
 $request_type = (getenv('HTTPS') == 'on') ? 'SSL' : 'NONSSL';

 

And replace with:

 

// set the type of request (secure or not)
 $request_type = (getenv('HTTPS') == '1') ? 'SSL' : 'NONSSL';

 

And now all is working GREAT!!!

 

Thank you for such a great contribution.

 

-Jim

Bill,

 

Thanks again for the quick reply. I hope you can help me figure this one out.

 

I have installed Google Checkout and tested with out the templates turned on. When I turn the templates on and try to complete the purchase I get an error. After checking out with Google , goolge calls gc_return.pgp to come back to the site to thank them for the purchase.

 

The error I get is:

 

1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') and pd.products_id = p.products_id and pd.language_id = '1'' a

select p.products_id, pd.products_name, pd.products_description, p.products_model, p.products_quantity, p.products_image, pd.products_url, p.products_price, p.products_tax_class_id, p.products_date_added, p.products_date_available, p.manufacturers_id from products p, products_description pd where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id in () and pd.products_id = p.products_id and pd.language_id = '1'

[TEP STOP]

 

I did find another post that talked about a heavily modded site and to change the $data to $gc_data in gc_return.php. I made that change and found that it did not solve the issue.

 

Would you by chance know if there are any other $calls that may be configured in both contibutions? I have been looking but have not found any. gc_return.php calls for application_top.php.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

If I find the answer I will post it here.

 

Best Regards,

 

-Jim

Are you referring to CreLoaded edition of OsCommerce? If so, then STS will not work for that addition since CreLoaded has completely modified the code in a way to make it impossible. :(

Well,

It would probably just be easier to create your own search form. Here is a copy of one that I use and you can simply modify it to work in your DIV:

 

<div align="right">
<table width="" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr><form name="advanced_search" action="./advanced_search_result.php" method="get">
<td bgcolor="#bcbcbc">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="white">
<tr>
<td class="navigation"> </td>
<td align="center"><input type="hidden" name="search_in_description" value="1"><input type="hidden" name="inc_subcat" value="1" 1><input type="text" name="keywords" size="20" maxlength="30" class="searchForm" style="width: 95px"></td>
<td align="center"> <input type="image" src="$templatedir/images/english/buttons/button_search.gif" border="0" alt="Search" title=" Search " name="Search"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</form></tr>
</table>
</div>

Would you by chance know if there are any other $calls that may be configured in both contibutions? I have been looking but have not found any. gc_return.php calls for application_top.php.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

If I find the answer I will post it here.

 

Best Regards,

After many hours of research I have discovered that with the template system turned on, you cannot use the gc_return.php file that Google Checkout provides. Although calling that file works great in a standard osCommerce install, you have to use the checkout_success.php file to return to. While in a stock install, this file (checkout_success.php) does not empty the shopping cart after a successful checkout with google checkout - so you have to us gc_return.php - checkout_success.php works just fine with STS 4.5.8 enabled.

 

Bill - Thanks agin for a wonderful contribution. Yo have saved me many hours of coding to get my site looking just the way my client wanted it, and I was able to meet their budget.

 

To see the completed site, please check out http://www.torostam.com. You would be hard to be convinced that it is running on an osCommerce backend.

 

Best Regards,

Simple Template System (STS) README.txt v1.3

Contribution Author: Brian Gallagher @ DiamondSea.com

Contribution Author Email: [email protected]

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT IT DOES:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lets you create simple HTML templates to customize the look and feel of OSC.

 

You simply create an HTML page that looks the way you want it to and put in

placeholders for the various elements wherever you want to position them.

 

For example, you would put "$cartbox" wherever on the page you want the

Shopping Cart box to appear. Put "$categorybox" where you want the Categories

box to appear. Put "$content" wherever you want the main page

content (the central part where all the magic happens) to appear, etc.

 

It does this by changing only a few /catalog/includes/ files, leaving all

other files untouched, making it easy to add other contributions later.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

BONUS FEATURES: Simple HEADER TAG CONTROLLER Integration

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This contribution also allows you to use WebMakers.com's

Header Tag Controller contribution without having to modify every file on

the system. Just copy the Header Tag Controller's include files into place

and STS will automatically add them to all pages without having to modify

every PHP script in the /catalog/ directory.

 

STS will auto-detect if Header Tag Controller is installed and use it if

available.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW TO INSTALL:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Installation Instructions are found in the readme.txt file included in the package. Please read the readme.txt file for a list of installation instructions, new features, new variables and other enhancements to STS.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW TO USE:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just modify the

 

/catalog/includes/sts_template.html

 

file to look however you want. Use stylesheet settings or HTML setting to

provide a custom look and feel to your site and arrange elements wherever you

like them.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUPPORTED TAGS:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are the tags that are supported so far (more sure to come in later

versions):

 

$headcontent: Put this string in your <head> section so that it can insert

the dynamic head content and javascript on pages that require it. This will

probably require putting the $headcontent in the <head> section in the source

code. It's a pain to do it this way, but it was the only way I could get it

working. Sorry!

 

<!--$headcontent--> : You can use this commented format of $headcontent to

keep the word "$headcontent" from displaying in your web authoring software.

 

NOTE: Do not put <title>...</title> tags in your header. It will be added

as part of the $headcontent variable, along with the Description and Keywords

meta tags if you have the WebMakers.com's Header Tag Controller contribution

installed.

 

$cataloglogo: The OSC logo and link

$urlcataloglogo: The URL used by the $catalog logo.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

DEBUGGING:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the /catalog/includes/application_bottom.php file you can see the

following settings (near the top of the file):

 

$display_template_output = 1;

$display_normal_output = 0;

$display_debugging_output = 0;

 

Display_Template_Output (the default setting) will cause it to display the

template versions of the pages.

 

Display_Normal_Output will cause it to display the non-template version of

the pages.

 

Display_Debugging_Output will cause it to display debugging information

showing all of the blocks of data that it is using and how it translates

them into template variables.

 

You can use any or all of the settings in any combination. If you have both

Normal and Template output, the Template output will be displayed first.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

REMOTE DEBUGGING:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can toggle the debugging options via URL options. You can use the

following parameters in your URL to turn on/off options from your browser

 

sts_template=1 Turns on the Template display

sts_template=0 Turns off the Template display

sts_normal=1 Turns on the Normal display

sts_normal=0 Turns off the Normal display

sts_debug=1 Turns on the Debugging display

sts_debug=0 Turns off the Debugging display

sts_version=1 Turns on Version Number display

sts_version=0 Turns off Version Number display

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

this has probably been ask a 1000 time, but there is 207 pages on this post, after spending few hours trying different thing, I ask the question !

 

I have a very nice functioning sts oscommerce, but I cannot find a sts way to modify the shopping_cart page

 

when the cart is empty, I can use template/boxes/catalog_shopping_cart.php.html, but if I have items in the shopping_cart, it takes only modification from catalog/shopping_cart.php and this is ugly

 

so does any one know a way to create a template for the shopping_cart page with items ??

 

thanks
