cdi-buy.com Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 I'm sure it's been posted elsewhere but as most people know, the search isn't very accurate when trying to find a post. I've seen it done on so many sites and I want to do it on my own but I'm not sure exactly where to put it in the infobox code for categories. All I want is a simple link to All Products since I don't usually stock many products and there are few categories. It would be nice to have the ability for the user to click one link and get everything at a time rather than trying to jump around the category tree (could be a hassle for those quicker clickers). Thanks in advance for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdi-buy.com Posted December 29, 2003 Author Share Posted December 29, 2003 that's exactly what I want....except now I have categories as a drop down menu so it would have to be integrated into that somehow. I just don't know the exact line of code I need and where exactly to place it in the jumbled mess (as is appears to me) of includes/boxes/categories.php if you need my current (drop down menu) code, I can post it but I didn't want to use space on here if it's unnecessary.

cdi-buy.com Posted December 30, 2003 Author Share Posted December 30, 2003 that would work except I have a drop down menu now and I need to know how to add all products to the drop down menu using your first set of code would have been fine if I had stuck with the default menu. see what I mean here this is my current code: <?php $info_box_contents = array(); $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'left', 'text' => BOX_HEADING_CATEGORIES ); new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, true, false); $info_box_contents = array(); $info_box_contents[] = array('form' => '<form action="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '" method="get">' . tep_hide_session_id(), 'align' => 'left', 'text' => tep_draw_pull_down_menu('cPath', tep_get_categories(array(array('id' => '', 'text' => PULL_DOWN_DEFAULT))), $cPath, 'onchange="this.form.submit();"') ); new infoBox($info_box_contents); ?> </td> </tr> <!-- categories_eof //--> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdi-buy.com Posted December 30, 2003 Author Share Posted December 30, 2003 yeah that's what happened when I tried to play with the code you gave me to put all products in my drop down menu...shows how little I know about php. it should be fixed by now since I put the original code back in (without any mods) what I want to do is add All Products at either the top or bottom of the drop down categories menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
241 Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 did you try something like this <?php $info_box_contents = array(); $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'left', 'text' => BOX_HEADING_CATEGORIES ); new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, true, false); $info_box_contents = array(); $info_box_contents[] = array('form' => '<form action="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) .

cdi-buy.com Posted December 30, 2003 Author Share Posted December 30, 2003 I believe that's exactly what I had when I was getting the parse error. I'll copy and paste your entire code just to see if it's what I had. looks like it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdi-buy.com Posted December 30, 2003 Author Share Posted December 30, 2003 yep that's what gave me the error and I still get the error if I add what it says it's expecting so I went back with the very original drop down menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdi-buy.com Posted December 31, 2003 Author Share Posted December 31, 2003 this is going to sound stupid but I just now realized I don't even have an all_products.php or all_prods.php file at all! :o how wierd is that! where do/can/should I get it and is it a contribution or just a file I am missing?

241 Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Having the file that it is calling would certainly be a big advantage click the link in my signature for contributions and in second search field type allproducts there will be one. there are others that are classed as sitemap.

cdi-buy.com Posted December 31, 2003 Author Share Posted December 31, 2003 Thanks. :lol: For some reason when I thought about putting a link in categories, I assumed allproducts was already a page in oscommerce. duh@me I still haven't figured out how to add the link in the drop down menu itself but in the meantime I added it the very first way you told me about. For now it's just a link to the new products page. Would you mind looking at the store and seeing if it still looks "professional" that way or if it's obviously out of place?

cdi-buy.com Posted December 31, 2003 Author Share Posted December 31, 2003 ok I got the contribution installed and I decided to stay with the newest products link as well. Now there is a link to all products AND one to newest products and I think it's beneficial to have both of those there and not in the drop down menu, simply for easier access.

241 Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I see it is all working and looks ok. The only thing for me was when clicking a link you get the white flash of a blank page whilst waiting to load the next page, a minor thing and only my opinion in that I found this a bit off putting and spoils the professional look that you are after.

cdi-buy.com Posted December 31, 2003 Author Share Posted December 31, 2003 I think that's my host. They've been having a few troubles recently. It might clear up once they get things straightened out. I might even end up changing hosts. Not sure yet though. I'd hate to go through that whole process again :blink: Might be you have a slightly slower connection too since I have a background image that has to be downloaded. I'll see if I can't reduce the filesize of the background image some more yet and I'll email you through the forums if I do and have you check it out again...see if you get that flash.

cdi-buy.com Posted December 31, 2003 Author Share Posted December 31, 2003 I am on a fast connection So am I but sometimes there are lags and/or split second delays due to heavy traffic on a system, etc. Thanks though....I chopped it down from about 2.47KB to I think 200 Bytes. Every little bit helps I think. The only downside is if you look real close you can see where one square ends and another begins a little more easily. Not a big deal tho since I'm hoping more attention goes to my products, NOT my background *crosses fingers* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdi-buy.com Posted December 31, 2003 Author Share Posted December 31, 2003 you wouldnt happen to know how to make an image the default for "no image" instead of the broken one would ya? I want to have my No Image Available icon automatically shown when I don't upload a pic for a product, without having to manually upload it. perhaps some code or something I need to place somewhere?

241 Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Find the following line in admin/categories.php if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_image']) && tep_not_null($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_image']) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_image'] != 'none')) { $sql_data_array['products_image'] = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_image']); } Replace with: if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_image']) && tep_not_null($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_image']) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_image'] != 'none')) { $sql_data_array['products_image'] = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_image']); } else { $sql_data_array['products_image'] = "no_image.gif"; } Upload default no image "no_image.gif" in catalog/images Hope it solves your problem!
