:( Please help me,

 

I just downloaded this wonderful program, then i uploaded it to my site useing cuteftp. Now i was looking at the stores on this site, using this program and noticed that they have changed it. Now i was wondering, how to change the look and feel of my catalog. Can i use frontpage or photoshop,etc? Then i was wondering for people to access my cataolg can i change it from www.mydomain.com/catalog to www.mydomain.com/whateveriwanthere? Is there any tutorials for this program. I was reading it and it seems like such a wonderful one. Also i was wondering about using paypal, i am a memeber and have an account so how do i intergrate that into my site. I'm so sorry for all the questions but i really need some help!!!!!

 

If you can give me old forums which discussed this or something, PLEASE!!!!

Yes you can customise but not using frontpage, there are a number of choices for customising.

 

1. The catalog/stylesheet.css

2. BTS contribution (Basic Template system)

3. STS contribution (Simple Template System)

4. adding contributions and modifications to the code

 

You can install the osc to the root if you want and then have it as www.yourdomain.com or rename the catalog directory to whatever and change the catalog/includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php files accordingly to match the name change or path change.

 

Paypal can be used, however some would advise the contribution PayPal IPN for paypal payments.

 

Information can be found via the links in my signature and searching the Forum prior to asking the forum

First you should really post a new thread as it is not related to this topic and hijacking someones topic is not the done thing, however I will answer for you.

 

catalog/includes/column_right.php

 

find theis code

 if (substr(basename($PHP_SELF), 0, 8) != 'checkout') {
? ?include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'languages.php');
? ?include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'currencies.php');
?}

and change it to this

/* ?if (substr(basename($PHP_SELF), 0, 8) != 'checkout') {
? ?include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'languages.php');
? ?include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'currencies.php');
?} */

you will find a link to the contributions area in my signature.

 

If you wish to move the cart to the root first move all the files from within the catalog directory to the root then alter the two configure.php files the ones in includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php to reflect the changed paths

you seem to have a few more defines than standard in your configure.php for the catalog

so i just take this information and copy and past it???? do u want me to send it without the xxxxxx

Posted

How come the information for this part is different in both files

// define our database connection
define('DB_SERVER', 'xxxxxxxxx'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'xxxxxxxxx');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'xxxxxxxxxx');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_com_-_db');
define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persisstent connections?
define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

they should read the same in both files

I wish i knew why both are different. Should i just copy and paste to make both say the samething????? I just downloaded osc and then changed the configure.php like doteasy.com said in their tutorials. Then I went to WIKI and went to and did this

 

Rename the catalog/install folder or delete it.

Reset the permissions on /catalog/includes/configure.php to 644 (if you are still getting the warning message at the top set configure.php to 444 which is read only - this happens on some servers that have been updated for security reasons).

Set the permissions on /catalog/images directory to 777

Reset the permissions on /admin/includes/configure.php to 644

Create the dir /admin/backups and set the permissions to 777

Set the permissions on /admin/images/graphs directory to 777

 

Then i downloaded BTS and followed what it said in the instructions?? did i do anything wrong???

Posted

Ok I was under the impression that this was a clean install, but you have installed BTS.

 

yes copy from the file with the information above to the other file, but obviously replace the xxxxx with the relevant data

ok so i did what you have told me, copying it, and then when i went to vikinternational.com/catalog it still said

 

Parse error: parse error in /var/www/html/catalog/includes/configure.php on line 29

 

Warning: main(DIR_WS_INCLUDESfilenames.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/catalog/includes/application_top.php on line 53

I do not have BTS installed so cannot determine if it is a change caused by the install of BTS.

 

What is the code for catalog/includes/application_top.php on line 53

 

it should be this

require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'filenames.php');

make sure that there is a space then a . then a space between INCLUDES and 'filenames
