compugeek2003 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Brian, Thanks for the update. It looks like you have added some great new functionality. Having the errors and warnings show on the page will be very helpful. Keep up the good work! Eric Stamper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Brian, I've approached this contribution with great enthusiasm as I have been wanting to create shops which don't look like out of the box OSC, but love the cart and everything about the community. I have done the installation but get the following error messages: Warning: main(includes/sts_user_code.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /www1/guatemalafairtrade.com/html/catalog/includes/sts_display_output.php on line 82 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/sts_user_code.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php/') in /www1/guatemalafairtrade.com/html/catalog/includes/sts_display_output.php on line 82 Do I need to install WebMakers.com Changed: Header Tag Controller v1.0? I have the latest MS2 version which was working perfectly. Should it have the header tag controller built into it? Or do I need to install Linda's hearder tag controller. Any advice would be helpful. thanks, Murray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥devosc Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Would it be possible to have a html template for each respective php file, for example, index.html, contact_us.html etc?

Guest Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 When using STS to alter the default template have I got complete freedom when it comes to graphical content? What I mean is can I remove the OS commerce logo, add my own plus additional graphics in the navigation bar. If so do I reference the images using http://pathtoimages or relative paths? Also is the table created to hold that actual page details a fixed width or will it fot within the design widths I use? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compugeek2003 Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Vaiso, When using STS to alter the default template have I got complete freedom when it comes to graphical content?What I mean is can I remove the OS commerce logo, add my own plus additional graphics in the navigation bar. If so do I reference the images using http://pathtoimages or relative paths? You can plug in additional graphics to the template page. You should be able to use either full paths or relative paths for this. By default, in the $headercontent template variable there is a reference to the base address to your page. This will allow the use of relative url's. Also is the table created to hold that actual page details a fixed width or will it fot within the design widths I use? The table widths are controlled in the sts_template.html file. For example around line 27 you would see this code: <td width="125" valign="top"> You could change the default value of 125 pixels to whatever you want. This would change the width of the left column. The main content section, the right column, and any other parts of the page could be conrolled similarly.

You should be able to use either full paths or relative paths for this. By default, in the $headercontent template variable there is a reference to the base address to your page. This will allow the use of relative url's. You have complete freedom to lay out your page however you like. The sts_template.html included with the package is just a sample that looks like the default OSC catalog so people can get familiar with what all the $variables do. I recommend using absolute URL's (starting with just a slash or http://) for your stylesheet and image links. This will make it easier to debug your output, because you will be able to simply point your browser to http://yourdomain.com/catalog/includes/sts_template.html and see what it will look like, showing the $variables in their places. It will work with relative links, but you won't be able to preview your page the same way. Also is the table created to hold that actual page details a fixed width or will it fot within the design widths I use? The page contents in the $contents variable are enclosed in a table with a width of 100%, so it should automatically scale to whatever you have it in. The table widths are controlled in the sts_template.html file. For example around line 27 you would see this code: <td width="125" valign="top"> You could change the default value of 125 pixels to whatever you want. This would change the width of the left column. The main content section, the right column, and any other parts of the page could be conrolled similarly. FYI, the various boxes are set up with width=100%, so they will become wider to suit the size of the table cell that they are contained in. So if you make the column_left table width=250, all the boxes will become twice as wide. This can be handy when working with long category names or deeply nested categories (but you should avoid having either of those as a usability issue). Additionally, you can get rid of the $categorybox altogether and use an image map or other links for your navigation system if you want by using the <a href="$cat_XXX"> technique (in v1.5+) to link directly to a category page without having to use the $categorybox control. What you get your design up, post a link to the site and the template page so other people can see how it works.

mktwain124 Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Thanks, Brian, for sharing all your hard work and providing this contribution. The master template system is an ingenious way to allow considerable layout/design flexibility without requiring changes to the core program files. We have all spent countless hours trying to customize our own storefronts by changing the code -- usually with considerable frustration and complications. Your contribution has simplified this process immensely (particularly for Dreamweaver template users!) and without any apparent performance slowdowns. It also provides endless possibilities for displaying other types of infobox creations from customized template variables. Thanks again. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!

Any idea what could be wrong? thanks, I haven't worked with the SEC contrib yet, so I don't have any first-hand knowledge. I suspect from the error messages that SEC modified one or more of the files that STS replaces, and when you copy the STS files you clobber the SEC's code, causing all sorts of unusual behavior and cryptic error messages. The best course of action would probably be to copy and paste the changes that STS made to those files (app_top, header, col_left, col_right, footer & app_bottom) into the SEC's versions of those files. The update is very simple, involving just a few lines of code at the top and bottom of each of the files, and a block of code above and below each box definition in col_left and col_right. Unfortunately, I'm swamped and don't have time to play with Linda's SEC and figure it out any more than this right now. :( Hope this helps! - Brian Quote Simple Template System (STS) Layout your site with 1 (or more) HTML file!

STS is elegantly simple and allows endless possibilities. Thank you very much Brian! David Glad you like it! Please post some links to your template files and the sites that they run on so people can see what has been done with it. Please try to use Image and Stylesheet URL's that start with a leading slash, which will make the templates easier to view "raw". There's lots of questions for samples of STS in action, so it would be helpful for everybody. - Brian Quote Simple Template System (STS) Layout your site with 1 (or more) HTML file!
