[contribution] Simple Template System (sts)

[bigben]

I have it working now thanks :) But i have another prob. If anyone can help. first in ordert to get my images to show i had to change all the file paths from images/some.jpg to the full url path ? This may be required but i dunno so threw it in there for troubleshooting purposes.

 

However now when i click a link it goes to ie: http:///shopping_cart.php?osCsid=6b5cd3e328ea3ae43de8bcb437b22f9c&osCsid=6b5cd3e328ea3ae43de8bcb437b22f9c'>http:///shopping_cart.php?osCsid=6b5cd3e328ea3ae43de8bcb437b22f9c&osCsid=6b5cd3e328ea3ae43de8bcb437b22f9c

 

note the http:///shopping_cart.php? part.

 

if anyone has any ideas i would appreciate it as i think this is an awesome cart and a great template system ya have here.

 

 

if ya wanna see the mess i have so far :) My Webpage

3) At the bottom of each page, I see the characters "</".

 

Answer: You need to upgrade your server's version of PHP. This was a subtle bug in older versions. Updating your PHP will fix it. You should upgrade it anyway, since if you are running a version with this problem, there are also security fixes that have been added to later versions of PHP that you need to secure your system.

hi brian,

 

which version of php do i have to use to avoid the </ bug at the end of the pages?

 

i'm running php 4.2.3 (Zend: 1.2.0) on my server.

 

thanks in advance!

Has anyone seen any performance issues after installing STS? Seems like things got a whole lot slower after I got STS working. So for kicks I installed a clean copy of OSC and tested...fast. Then I setup STS and my performance went down by half, so it wasn't my original install of STS and OSC that gave me problems. You can look Here or click on the www link below to see my site as it is now.

 

thanks, sparks

1. Does it work with HTTPS ?

2. how hard is it to install on a modded version of MS2.2

3. Is it worth the troulbe or should i just edit the HTML my self?

[lindstrom]

Is there really nobody who knows a solution for my problem with the loginbox????????

 

I installed the new Version of STS and everything work fine - but the loginbox does not work. There is only the code $loginbox visible - but not the box.

 

In my old version (1.8) the loginbox works without problems.

 

What can I do?

Look in the sts_display_output.php file and make sure the there is a template setup for the login box. There should be a line that looks something like this:

 

$template['loginbox'] = strip_unwanted_tags($sts_block['loginbox'], 'loginbox');

 

listed with all the other boxes. Usually when all that shows up is the tag $loginbox that means the template is not set up or that the tag does not match what is setup.

Thanks for your help. You are right - the line was not in the file. I added the line and now the word $loginbox is not visible any longer - but the box is also not visible.

Now it is emty. Do you have a further suggestion?

 

Thanks a lot...

Now I tryed to insert the following line in the column_left.php and column_right.php

 

  // BOF: WebMakers Added: Login Box My Account

    require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'loginbox.php');

// EOF: WebMakers Added: Login Box My Account

 

When I insert the line in column_left.php the box will be visible but in the middle and destroys the whole design.

 

When I insert it in the column_right at the end - nothing happens.

 

May you could find the problem when post my sts_display_output and the column files:

 

So here ist the sts_display_output:

Add this to your sts_display_output file under print column left stuff

 

echo $sts_block['loginbox'];

 

In your column_left.php file look for this

 

require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'information.php');

 

// STS: ADD

$sts_block_name = 'informationbox';

require(STS_RESTART_CAPTURE);

// STS: EOADD

 

and add this below it for you login box

 

 

require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'loginbox.php');

 

// STS: ADD

$sts_block_name = 'loginbox';

require(STS_RESTART_CAPTURE);

// STS: EOADD

 

I am pretty sure that is everything I added to make it work.

I'm getting this error after installing sts over my new store

 

Warning: main(includes/sts_user_code.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/king/public_html/practice/includes/sts_display_output.php on line 138

Sorry can't help yopu above but I have a quick question.

 

Is there a DHTML categories menu contrib that works with STS? I tried one but could not get it to work.

 

thanks :rolleyes:

Not 100% certain but it seems that I received that or a similar error message when I failed to make the needed changes to the configure.php file.

This is what I added to the configure.php

 

// STS: ADD: Define Simple Template System files
 define('STS_START_CAPTURE', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'sts_start_capture.php');
 define('STS_STOP_CAPTURE', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'sts_stop_capture.php');

 define('STS_USER_CODE', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'sts_user_code.php');
 define('STS_PRODUCT_INFO', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'sts_product_info.php');
// STS: EOADD

 

Any clue on how to fix it? Do I need to change something else in there?

[lostinosc]

I figured it out. It was a bad install. I just deleted the installation and re-installed everything and it worked perfectly. Thanks for responding though Richard. I appreciate it.

Dear STS members,

 

I'm really frustrated because I can't seem to find a payment gateway that works with STS. For some reason STS messes up cURL calls. If we can't hook up to a payment gateway, then what's the point of even using this contribution??! There must be someone out there that is using STS fully and selling things too. What are you using to process credit cards?

 

Please help me! Please!

This is the first store I have used STS on, so I have only tested it with one gateway. I am successfully using Authorize.net with the Authorize.net Consolidated v.1.7 for AIM contribution.

[ACE99]

Hey TomThumb thanks. I tried Authorize.net consolidated for AIM, but it didn't work. Are you using the latest version of STS? Do the error messages from Auhorize display properly. Now that I know it can work, I'll just have to keep debugging it. Perhaps I'll start my store from scratch again to see if that solves the problem. Thanks again.

 

Does anyone else have any other options for payment gateways that work with STS? Thanks everyone.

1. Does it work with HTTPS ?

2. how hard is it to install on a modded version of MS2.2

3. Is it worth the troulbe or should i just edit the HTML my self?

1. Yes

2. It depends on how well the contributions adhere to the OSC coding standards for how they present their HTML. STS expects the pages generated to be in a particular format and you may have problems if the format a contribution uses is different.

3. I personally think it is worth the trouble, as you can create a custom look with any HTML editor instead of modifying all the PHP files directly. But I may be biased. ;)

Simple Template System (STS) Public Announcement:

 

If you are installing STS, do not use the installation instructions in the first post of this thread. That was from eight versions ago.

 

There is a README.txt file in the contribution that contains the latest installation information for that version.

 

There is also a file called CHANGELOG.txt present that lists what has been changed in each version, and (sometimes) what you need to do to upgrade from the last version to the next one.

 

Hopefully this will help a couple people in the future....

 

Thanks,

The links that STS put on my site arent really following the stylescript the table is giving them (see 'My Account' towards the top of my page: http://www.designimportsinc.com/catalog). Is there a way to force font colors to the STS links?

Hi Brian & everyone

Can you check this out for me to see where I can fix this problem in STS

 

DVBHardware.com

 

Click on Affiliate login User "test@test.com" password "testtest"

 

click on a question mark.

 

I seem to be pulling up the wrong page with the sts it should be predefined information on the topic already setup in the osaffiliate. I have the same problem in the admin section because it is bringing the information from the catalog through the stst.

 

I should be poping up a new window with something like this

 

"Impressions: displays the total number of times a banner or link has been displayed in the given time period." inside

 

I have only a little cosmetic work then I am done.

The My Account variable gets the style "headerNavigation" from the base OSC code. Here's the HTML it is putting in:

 

<a href=https://securehost59.hrwebservices.net/~designi/catalog/account.php?osCsid=2d3bb8a27d6918cfa6c35c8bc29c4346 class="headerNavigation">My Account</a>

 

Try changing your definition for this style (it's in OSC's stylesheet).

I looked at the source for the page and you seem to have forced the other links in that bar to white

 

<a href="http://www.designimportsinc.com/services.html"><font color="#FFFFFF">Services</font></a>

 

but the my account is following the style sheet because that is missing and you have a class in there instead

 

<a href=https://securehost59.hrwebservices.net/~designi/catalog/account.php?osCsid=06d6840a9b2109d942fc185ff21ef96d class="headerNavigation">My Account</a>

 

That seems to be why the my account is different.

If you want to eliminate the OSC style, try something like this:

 

<a href="$urlmyaccount">My Account</a>

-Header Logo.  I can't seem to change it.  I went into the header.php file to change it, but it still shows the oscommerce.gif logo.  I changed the display option in sts_display_output.php to debug mode, and it lists the .GIF image that I want.  But even with that, I'm still not seeing my image, only the oscommerce.gif image

I'm having the same problem, except that I edited the sts_display_output.php file to insert my logo. I couldn't find any other file to put it in; that file was my best guess after looking through all of the files. Works fine in template output mode, but the image doesn't display (and isn't in the page source) in normal output mode.

 

1) How do I fix this so that my catalog logo displays in normal output mode?

2) What file should I be editing to define what certain values, such as $cataloglogo, should be? This is perplexing me HUGE, but I can't figure it out.

 

Thanks!
