tuppergreen Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Hi Bill, I've posted a question previously and not sure if you have caught it. Hi Bill, thanks for the direction and I managed to insert the maninfobox into the content template of product_info page. Out of curiosity, I tried inserting tellafriendbox too and the box does appear but it is pointing to shopping_cart.php instead of tell_a_friend.php.. I've tried including the file with include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'tell_a_friend.php') to make sure it points to this page but to no avail still. Is there a way that I could insert the tellafriendbox too? Do you happen to know what might caused the link problem with tell_a_friend box? I've tried with all other infoboxes and I only have problem with the tell_a_friend box which I can't figure out why once it is placed into the content template, the link changes to shopping_cart.php. Appreciate if you can help with this again. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkellum Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Hi Bill, I've posted a question previously and not sure if you have caught it.

I've tried with all other infoboxes and I only have problem with the tell_a_friend box which I can't figure out why once it is placed into the content template, the link changes to shopping_cart.php. Appreciate if you can help with this again. Thanks The tell a friend box works differently from other boxes: $tellafriendbox The Tell a Friend box, displaying a link to the Tell a Friend page where customers can send message to a friend about a product of the store. This will not show if not on a product page (no products_id in the URL) or on the Tell A Friend page (tell_a_friend.php) Box file location: DIR_WS_BOXES . 'tell_a_friend.php' . Created in: includes/modules/sts_inc/sts_column_left.php Introduced in: STS v4.0 See also: $specialfriendbox (displays Specials or Tell a Friend box -see below). Specials or Tell a Friend $specialfriendbox Displays either the Specials box or the Tell a Friend box. If on a product page (products_id exists in the URL) and not on the Tell a Friend page (tell_a_friend.php), displays the Tell a Friend box, otherwise displays the Specials box.

Waidesworld Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 My suggestion....Get yourself a good file comparison utility such as Beyond Compare or WinMerge and use it to merge in the code changes needed to install the STS contribution. You will find these tools invaluable for other contributions and code changes you would like to make in the future to your shop. Beyond Compare is my choice. OK I understand what you are saying but all I did was per the instructions, copy the various files to the various places and this is where I ended up. Am I missing something or did everyone else ace and I am left behind again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkellum Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 OK I understand what you are saying but all I did was per the instructions, copy the various files to the various places and this is where I ended up. Am I missing something or did everyone else ace and I am left behind again? Well, since that error does not have anything to do with STS, it is either you misplaced some of the code during your manual install or you have another contribution installed that is improperly coded. My advice in my previous post would save you a ton of time in correctly this instead of trying to find a "needle in a haystack". You have the correct code right in front of you (came with the STS download). Just compare that code with your shop's code and find where you went wrong. :rolleyes: Hope this helped you out, Quote Bill Kellum Sounds Good Productions STS Tutorials & more: STSv4.6, STS Add-ons (STS Power Pack), STS V4 Forum STS Forum FREE TEMPLATE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koyurei Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 where can i find the downloads - please help This template system work fine on http pages. I've installed version 1.2 Just download now 1.3 for install. But there a problem, with https pages. Whe go to https for confirm buy, if system it's configured with https, $content show pages on https, and other $ ($cartcontents, $information, ..) show href with http links. That produces a lot of windows alerts on IE and other browsers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download the "Loginbox with Member name" contribution. Follow the install instructions for everything except where it tells you to add some lines to includes/column_left.php or includes/colum_right.php (skip that part). Instead, add the following in your includes/modules/sts_inc/sts_column_left.php file: // Get Loginbox - don't show if member is logged in if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) { } else { require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'memberlogin.php'); $sts->restart_capture ('memberloginbox', 'box'); //Get the Loginbox with member name Then, use the $memberloginbox tag anywhere you want in your template. It will not display if the customer is logged in. A nice feature though would be to comment out the first two lines of that code and the box will continue to display but instead say "Welcome Username". while the user is logged in. // Get Loginbox - don't show if member is logged in //if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) { // } else { require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'memberlogin.php'); $sts->restart_capture ('memberloginbox', 'box'); //Get the Loginbox with member name Quote Bill Kellum Sounds Good Productions STS Tutorials & more: STSv4.6, STS Add-ons (STS Power Pack), STS V4 Forum STS Forum FREE TEMPLATE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewRitchie Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hello I have put together a full package to download... this includes OSC 2.2 RC1 GCO v1.4.5a and because I like it so much: STS v4.5.8 please see pages following: http://www.bluegreenenterprises.com/ebusiness_info/index.php I have put it on my server because the zip file is far too big for the OSC contribs uploads. And this way you can play and see the changes to file at the same time in the knowledge that (fingers crossed tightly) I have no bugs ;o) Titles: STS GoogleCheckout Iwill have a demo Page/site up and running very soon so keep posted....

MatthewRitchie Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 How to have 'micro' images for webmobile fast downloads of your website to say the iphone: Three days for trying to hack every public and admin page that shows a picture untill suddently the easy answer just pops into my mind, WHY OH WHY could that not have happened THREE DAYS AGO ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;o) the easy way in four quick steps: 1. Dowload freeware: EASY THUMBNAILS. Convert all you large product pictures to thumbnails of the size 100 wide by 80 high. these thumbnails need to be in your image/manufacturer aka like catalog/images/dvd or catalog/images/microsoft folder. then move all the large images into a sub folder called 'large'. all lower case. like: catalog/images/microsoft/large/...... etc. 2. GOTO "(ZX spectrum 128k with tape drive ... cool ... basic speak) " catalog/popup_image.php and insert: </head> <?PHP // get large image for popup window from images/xxx/large/ $imgpath = $products['products_image']; $imgpath = str_replace('/', '/large/', $imgpath); // end get large image ?> <body...... just after closing head tag and before opening body tag. 3. change: <?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $products['products_image'] , $products['products_name']); ?> for this: <?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $imgpath, $products['products_name']); ?> all done. you now have a big picture for your popup and small picks everywhere else for fast mobile downloads. Now SETUP UP paypal etc to accept mobile payments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;o) THREE BL**DY DAYS I DONT EFFIN BELIEVE IT WAS SO DAM SIMPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TEEHEE Matthew John Ritchie I will add it to my demo tomorrow ;o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always create a home page template and name it index.php_0.html and then create a default category template to be used for all other category pages and name it index.php.html. Take a look at my post regarding adding the cart to show only the number of items and basket total:http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?sho...p;#entry1195537 You could either edit the catalog/product_info.php file (not very difficult to simply move the product image to the left table cell) or use the STS Product Info Template feature to layout your product page anyway you want using HTML.
